FAQs
All rooms in our Health Services Center are private, and each is furnished with a bed, nightstand, wardrobe, flat-screen TV, and chair. Residents are encouraged to personalize their suites with items from home such as photographs, books and artwork.
Each resident has their own set of care needs. We work with the resident and their family members to establish a service plan to meet specific needs. The Health Services Center is staffed 24/7 with a licensed nurse to address care needs.
First, determine your needs. Most skilled nursing communities offer both long-term health care and short-term rehab/therapy services. If the need is for long-term care, you’ll want to be sure the surroundings are comfortable. The staff, food and recreation opportunities should all be high-quality. If the need is for rehab, ask about the success rates in dealing with this particular diagnosis. Tour the building and the rehab area, using all your senses to make an assessment: Does it smell clean? Are the rooms and work areas cluttered? Are the staff and other residents noisy? How appetizing is the food? In what ways do the staff interact with residents? Do the other residents seem content and well-groomed? What kind of activities are on the monthly calendar? Can you review a sample menu? These details will help you make a decision.
Medication is ordered by the physician and administered through our licensed and registered nurse practitioners.
