We feature an outstanding rehabilitation team that includes speech, physical and occupational therapy with 85% of our residents returning home.
Their skilled nursing service’s resident-focused approach provides those who have suffered from a prolonged acute or chronic illness or have recently been injured or undergone surgery with the best care possible. In these cases, residents' conditions are often stable, but they continue to require assessment and treatment. And whether it’s nutritional support or assistance with self-care and the activities of daily living, our team is committed to meeting the needs of each resident at every stage of recovery.
