South Haven Living Center is a well-established, 84-bed skilled care facility offering a comprehensive range of services designed to support older adults and individuals with unique health care needs. Established in 2004 under its current name, following the construction of a new facility, South Haven Living Center has served its community for many years, fostering a warm environment that prioritizes the wellbeing and dignity of every resident. The center’s philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief in “Dignity in Life,” which is embodied daily by staff, residents, and families alike. This guiding principle shapes every aspect of the care experience, ensuring that each individual is treated as the most important person within the facility.
The center provides a spectrum of services, including short-term rehabilitation, long-term skilled nursing, memory support, adult day care, and outpatient therapy. Care delivery at South Haven is personalized and resident-focused, with staff making conscious efforts to tailor support to meet the unique needs of every person. The living environment itself is thoughtfully arranged to offer comfort and familiarity. At the heart of the facility lies the distinctive ‘Main Street’ entrance—a feature that sets South Haven apart. This welcoming promenade leads into four uniquely named living neighborhoods: Alden, Sheridan, Reliance, and Lakemont. Each neighborhood is designed to foster a sense of community while still offering privacy and individualized attention.
Main Street enhances daily life with the feel of a small, vibrant town. Here, residents enjoy amenities such as an ice cream parlor serving ice cream and popcorn every day, a barber and beauty shop for personal care needs, a therapy gym for rehabilitation and wellness, a doctor’s clinic to ensure ongoing health monitoring, a mailbox for personal correspondence, and a town hall that serves as a gathering spot. These features are carefully curated to maximize engagement, independence, and enjoyment for every member of the South Haven community.
Over the years, South Haven Living Center has garnered more than 65 awards and achievements, consistently recognized for the quality of its care and environment since 1996. Accolades include national quality awards in both Silver and Bronze categories, as well as highest rankings from rating systems that measure facility excellence.
