The community offers a bunch of services including independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term care, and even hospice and respite stays when someone needs a break. There's also physical, occupational, speech, and respiratory therapies, all handled on site, and plenty of specialized attention for folks coming out of the hospital or managing ongoing health problems, so the rehabilitation team works closely with each person to help them regain strength or manage new changes.
