Your Stay

During this time when several levels of care may be required, the same caring staff of nurses, therapists, and technicians get to know you and your healthcare needs without interruption.

We strive to constantly create a comfortable environment for our residents to provide them with surroundings which reflect the warmth and feeling of home. Because of our unique location within the hospital, your physician will be able to conveniently check on your progress

Your stay in our Extended Care Facility may be brief, or more extensive, depending on your needs and wishes. Care management meetings are held weekly with all professional team members in attendance to ensure an optimum plan of care for each of our ECF residents. Every resident is encouraged to be actively involved in their own plan of care. The team will assist in developing short-term and long-term goals.

Family members and/or significant others are also encouraged to attend these team meetings. It's our philosophy that the family member is an important part of the resident's recovery.

Therapy and More...

Many rehabilitation services are available to our ECF residents. These include: physical, occupational, speech, and IV therapy along with other skilled nursing and rehabilitation services, and contracted dental services..

Long Term

Long-Term Care residents, who need our services, can be admitted directly from their home or may choose to make the ECF their new home after a short-term stay. Some transfer to our ECF from other nursing homes.

For many older adults, there comes the time when their needs can best be met by residing in our Extended Care Facility -- the next best place to home. Residents are encouraged to bring some of their favorite furniture; pictures; and of course, family photos.

Short Term

Short-Term Care is a service offered in our Extended Care Facility to respond to the needs of patients who require several additional days of recovery time after being discharged from any hospital.

Short-Term Care is a form of "extending" care for medical and surgical patients. The patient's physician may have decided that the patient can be discharged form hospital care, but the patient may still need rehabilitation services to recover more fully, or be ready to care for themselves at home.
