- AAArchieOct 27, 20255.0Staff are very defensive of their mother
- BMBlanche MichelOct 22, 20255.0Had wonderful results very quickly. Wish we would have known about them sooner.
- ASAdele SadochaOct 5, 20255.0As the Director of Facility Relations, I see the high standards of care our team provides every day. Recently, however, I experienced it from a personal perspective when my father was a patient in our short-term skilled nursing program. I cannot speak highly enough about the care he received. The entire staff—from nursing, to social work, to the therapy team—was incredibly competent, attentive, and genuinely compassionate. My mother was completely reassured and happy with the attention and peace of mind they provided throughout his stay. A special note must be made about the dining services: my father, who can be quite particular, ate every single meal and thoroughly enjoyed the food, which is a significant testament to the quality of the dietary program. Thank you to everyone who made his rehabilitation and recovery such a wonderful and successful experience. We highly recommend this facility to any family seeking outstanding short-term skilled care.
- KDKilidonia DeAceroSep 19, 20255.0Very attractive facility and kept immaculately clean. Staff are absolutely wonderful, personable, and willing to stop in their tracks to help. Our friend who is in long term care there has been very happy. We were very impressed when we visited.

Skilled nursing facilities provide around-the-clock care to individuals in a short-term or long-term setting, including rehabilitation following surgeries, therapy services, and assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, eating, and dressing. SNFs are staffed by licensed nurses, therapists, and other medical care specialists.

We have several physicians who visit our guests within 48 hours of their arrival. They also make weekly rounds. If a guest prefers to use an existing primary care physician, our center staff will help them with the guidelines we’re required to follow to accommodate their request.
Our center also has nurse practitioners onsite and 24/7 on-call care staff. Our guest rooms may also include FDA-approved remote monitoring devices that monitor guests’ vitals 24/7. These devices are monitored by a team of RNs who can communicate with physicians and nurse practitioners if there are changes that need to be addressed.

A resident council, which is a self-governed body in our center, provides our guests with an opportunity to address any concerns.
When it comes to decisions around medical treatment, some guests can opt to give decision-making responsibilities to a loved one, such as a spouse, adult child, or other legally-designated person.
How long will guests stay at the center under their SNF benefit?
Each guest’s length of stay depends on their individual care plan and how they progress through therapy. Please note that insurance-approved days and coverage criteria apply. We will communicate with our guests or their designated caregiver regarding coverage throughout their stay.
