Health care and short-term rehabilitation when residents need more than occasional assistance, our health care center provides comfort, security, and care. Health care promotes wellness, helping to maintain each resident's quality of life and independence. Our team of professionals works with the resident and family to develop comprehensive care plans specific to meet their needs. Resident-centered care encourages residents to continue to enjoy personal interests while making choices regarding individual schedules.

After a stay in the hospital, our team at progressive recovery academy, located within health care, partners with residents and families to design a customized, intensive rehabilitation plan to help residents return home as quickly as possible.
