Living beyond limitations
Nursing care was our genesis, back in 1908, and it is still what we do best. First and foremost we believe in keeping a staffing level sufficient to ensure the most consistent level of care in our Health Care Center. We were pioneers in the transition from a hospital-modeled delivery of nursing care to a resident-centered model based on a genuine respect for individual choices and preferences. We strive to maintain both the highest quality of life and the highest quality of care for our residents.
Peerless Therapies
Our therapy team will work diligently to see that you achieve the ultimate possible progress. Services are offered 6 days a week and include physical therapy for mobility, balance improvement and fall risk reduction, occupational therapy for daily tasks, muscle strength and joint range of motion, and speech therapy for language ability, communication strategies, and swallowing. These three disciplines utilize various state-of-the-art technologies, including cold laser therapy, ultrasound therapy, e-stim therapy, diathermy, and aquatic therapy. The areas in which we specialize include fall reduction, urinary continence improvement, low vision therapy, lymphedema massage, home modification review, and dementia care. Family participation is encouraged, and a home evaluation is often included as part of the safe discharge process.
Focus on Community Life
Our Community Life team plays a major role in keeping residents active and engaged. When we see residents who might benefit, we go way beyond the basic music, games, crafts and celebrations. We believe it is never too late to make precious memories.
A groundbreaking Memory Support program is offered throughout our long-term neighborhoods. All team members (not just nursing) receive specialized training enabling them to reassure and engage with our residents living with dementia. Pastoral Care is a vital thread in the fabric of our Health Care Center. Our Palliative Care program is specialized in caring for residents nearer the end of their journey, and we partner with several hospice providers. We are aware that family involvement is an integral part of our residents’ contentment. We wish to be your partner in this process: Each one of us can be a precious resource and we look forward to a fruitful collaboration.
