The month of May celebrates National Skilled Nursing Care Week.
The past year has presented unprecedented challenges to skilled nursing facilities as they have navigated the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite having to adjust to unforeseen challenges, our facilities have continued to serve our communities by providing quality clinical care to meet the needs of our most vulnerable population.
Our facilities provide an interdisciplinary approach to health care, offering on-site physicians, nurse practitioners, 24-hour nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, nurse aides, dieticians, social work and recreation staff.
