Services
Our facility includes three residential care unites each with their own personality. The Residential Care Director is an LPN who has worked here for fifteen years. Certified residential medication assistants deliver medications and residential care aides supervise the personal care of each resident. We are licensed to serve 67 residential care residents.
Nursing Facility
Our Nursing Facility was opened in 1980 as a separate building. It opened with 30 beds and has grown to a high of 47 beds that are dually certified for Medicare and Medicaid. We are not required to relocate a resident after a skilled stay to a non-skilled wing as may happen in facilities that aren't dually certified.
The skilled unit sends two-thirds of its residents home. That is what skilled care is all about, providing post-acute nursing care and therapy services to get residents back to the comforts of their homes.

Adult Day Services
The Adult Day Services is contracted with the Veteran's Administration as well and provides adult day services for qualified individuals. The program opened in 1995 and was licensed to serve six clients a day. As with most programs, this one too has grown over the years. We now are licensed to serve 12 clients per day. There is a bathroom with a spacious shower and is handicap accessible, allowing us to assist in bathing if needed.
The Adult Day Services program has a comfortable space on the second floor with more privacy and their own chair lift to assist those who are unable to climb stairs. A large library of videos and DVD's, wireless internet, cable TV and the very popular Wii are some of the amenities they can still enjoy away from home. The program is our strongest connection to the community as it permits potential nursing or residential care level people to continue to live in the community while receiving additional services.
We are proud to say that we have been in business serving our clients for over twelve years now. While other programs in the area have cut back or closed down, we continue to provide services.
