Long and Short-term Skilled Care

In our Short-term Skilled Care residency, you may get help recovering from an injury, wound, accident, or other medical condition over a short period. Once healed, you’ll return home or to your community of loved ones. If you join our Long-term Skilled Care residency, you’ll receive care for as long as needed.

We offer all private rooms that overlook a view of our beautiful grounds. Also, our high patient-to-staff ratios allow us to provide the best care. Our average is 3.5 HPPD (hours per patient day), while the National Level is 2.27 HPPD.

Every department: dietary, maintenance, therapy, nursing, activities, environmental, reception, consists of folks who are happy in their work and are all a part of the team creating this wonderful place. There is not one thing that I worry about in regards to my mother’s care. I have never been unhappy for a moment since my mother has been there.
