Our skilled nursing center offers comprehensive rehabilitation programs that include Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapies. All residents are screened and assessed for care by licensed therapists upon admission. The treatment program will address areas related to the patient's mobility, communication skills, swallowing function, and performance of other activities required for daily living. We strive to work with each resident to obtain the highest level of function possible.

The length of an admission for a skilled nursing facility varies for each individual. Every person is unique. We strive to meet the specific needs of each patient with a scope of services provided by our interdisciplinary team of nurses, therapists, social workers, dieticians, and other care staff. Our goal is help you return home as soon as possible. Ultimately, the length of a patient’s stay is determined by the attending physician. Upon admission, our team – in conjunction with your doctor - will assess your unique situation and create a discharge plan based on your needs.
