The team helps folks with medicine management, rehabilitation after hospital stays, post-acute care, and unique programs like peritoneal dialysis with flexible schedules-even night treatments-and the facility is a designated preferred post-acute care provider for Ascension PPN. There's a strong focus on safety and quality, with The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval® for both nursing and post-acute care, plus certified infection prevention, medication management, and leadership standards. The staff hosts a resident council and a family council so both residents and their families can have a voice in how care is provided.
