Long Term Care Unit
Our Long Term Care Unit provides a smooth transition for life in a long-term care setting. The resident is assessed and a plan of care that fits their past life-style, medical needs, and social desires is put into place upon admission. We accomplish this by offering choices at meal times, activities in and out of the facility, pet companionship, intergenerational programs and access to the courtyards.
The medical needs of the residents are met by our professional, loving, licensed staff twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Compassionate, caring certified nursing assistants provide for the daily needs of each of our residents. We strive to make this a home away from home.
