As a family-owned and operated facility since 1964, the center has emphasized a homelike atmosphere, where residents experiencing mental health challenges receive individualized attention tailored to their unique needs. The 44 skilled long-term care beds and 13 private transitional care rooms underscore a commitment to a personal, community-oriented setting.
