Assisted living provides your loved one with the opportunity to interact with peers through day-to-day relations, planned activities, and events. Residents can focus on socializing, having fun, and building relationships while still feeling at ease knowing support is available if needed. While still valuing the independence of our residents, we always want to assist them in living their most comfortable lives.
Skilled and Intermediate Nursing Care
Skilled nursing provides short-term care to residents focused on recovery and rehabilitation so they can return to their normal lives as quickly as possible. These services are often utilized during recuperation from serious health issues and are not able to be cared for at home.
Intermediate care is utilized for residents who do not require daily medical treatment but are unable to sufficiently care for themselves at home. This option provides light nursing care and assistance with daily activities. This is often the type of care that is pursued when looking for a balance of independence with an appropriate level of care, found in nursing homes.
