Kirkhaven is a not-for-profit senior living community that focuses on skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and specialized dementia care. The facility houses up to 147 residents with options for private and semi-private rooms spread out over five floors, and it aims to create a safe, homelike environment where people can feel comfortable and maintain their dignity. Kirkhaven pays attention to the personal needs of seniors and those who need rehabilitation, offering 24-hour medical care and emergency services, as well as help with daily tasks like meal preparation, laundry, and transportation if needed. The center includes a dedicated unit for residents with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, along with a short-term Transitional Care/Rehab unit for people recovering from surgery, illness, or a hospital stay, and hospice services are also available in partnership with Lifetime Care Hospice, focusing on emotional and spiritual support.
Kirkhaven supports a variety of social, therapeutic, and recreational activities that encourage residents to share their life stories and engage with the community, and there's a busy activities calendar along with day care and educational programs open to residents and the broader community. Therapeutic services include physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and residents have access to help with nutrition, diet planning, and fitness or health classes. Specialized care also covers senior behavioral health, respiratory therapy, obstetrics and gynecology, and orthopedic needs. The facility uses a neighborhood approach, making personal spaces easy to decorate with the resident's own things, and strives to make sure every individual feels valued as part of the community. Support services include pastoral care, respite care, and hospice care, with communal lounges and dining areas set up to help residents build connections. Visitation is open daily between 8am and 8pm, so friends and family can visit often. Kirkhaven aims to offer support that fits each resident, whether they need memory care, skilled nursing, transitional care, or just a comfortable place with caring staff who want residents to feel at home.
