A Place for Living
Our care center welcomes residents ages 21 to 104. In fact, we enjoy close support from the Multiple Sclerosis Society, programs staffed by local colleges, and other resources intended to stimulate creativity and personal growth in residents of all ages.In addition to 24 hour professional nursing staff, we enjoy support from a distinguished physician team that has helped us earn the confidence of those we care for. We become the primary care giver to our residents, which gives immediate family and friends the renewed energy to provide fresh encouragement and support to their loved one. >Read More Below About Our Unique Reputation<

Brief Stays : Special Times for Healing
Because we recognize that many people in our community are cared for at home by a family member or trusted friend, we offer stays in our facility for as little as five days.This enables the caregiver at home a needed break to refresh themselves and renew outside friendships and contacts, or even to take a well deserved vacation.
Financial Issues
Our facility rates are competitive and we work with several third party insurers that cover skilled and long term custodial care. Should there be questions regarding state Medicaid or Medicare programs, we'll gladly assist family members in simplifying these complex systems.
