Resthaven Living Center Ltd is a nursing home with 145 beds and about 84 residents, so the occupancy rate is about 58%. It's a for-profit partnership, and the facility has sprinkler fire suppression for safety, which is good to know. The center has resident councils, but there aren't any family councils. Skilled nursing staff stay on-site 24 hours a day, every day, so people with medical needs, including chronic or serious medical issues, can get help any time. Folks with Alzheimer's or dementia use special programs under the Alzheimer's care services, and the place also offers memory care and specialized dementia care. They provide help for both independent living and assisted living, and some folks use the facility for long-term care, while others come for short-term rehabilitation, rehab programs set up for each person, or special in-home recovery, like IV therapy or ultrasound.
