This Long Term Care Unit specializes in caring for seniors with serious health needs and is part of a network linked with a Continuing Care Retirement Community, so residents might find a range of housing options as care needs grow, though the unit itself doesn't sit inside a CCRC. Staff handle move-in coordination and offer screening for physical, dietary, and behavioral needs, and Medicaid and Medicare are both accepted. The community supports restorative care and rehabilitation, with therapy for both inpatient and outpatient needs. Ancillary services ensure residents have well-rounded support, and activities help maintain quality of life. There's an emergency alert system in place and the team aims to meet the emotional, physical, and mental needs of every resident, providing skilled nursing and social services in a reliable setting that's served the community for years.
