Long Term Care
Residents who require ongoing skilled nursing care live in our Long-Term Care households. The environment is welcoming and friendly. Floors are carpeted, and our monitoring and call systems are intentionally designed to avoid the beeping and other intrusive sounds commonly found in hospitals and skilled care settings.
Long Term Care Households
In Long-Term Care, each household consists of 13 spacious rooms grouped around a shared, family-style kitchen, small dining room, and living room designed to be similar to those found in a private home. This model allows residents a high degree of flexibility to set their own schedules for sleeping and waking, mealtimes, and other activities.
The majority of rooms are private, with private bathrooms and showers. Each household includes one double room, ideal for couples or those who would like to share a room. Cable TV, internet, and phone services are available as options.
