The focus at Jennie B Richmond Chaffee Nursing Home Company is on delivering exceptional 24-hour care through a team of skilled professionals, which includes Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants.

A robust Rehabilitation Services Program bridges the gap between hospital and home for those recovering from surgery or illness.
