Short-term rehabilitation is designed for those recovering from stroke, cardiovascular difficulties, orthopedic surgery, and other debilitating conditions, with the goal of helping participants return home safely. The program includes physical, occupational, and speech/language therapies provided by an interdisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, therapists, and social workers.

Long-term care is available for those who require assistance with daily tasks due to illness, injury, frailty, or other limitations. Licensed nurses and specially-trained health care aides provide care under physician guidance, supported by an interdisciplinary team offering social services, activities, and physical, occupational, and speech therapies designed to help residents maintain the highest level of independence possible. The community accepts private pay and Medicaid for qualified applicants, with Medicaid specialists available to assist families through the application process.

Respite care offers short-term stays for elderly individuals, allowing family caregivers time to travel, pursue work opportunities, recuperate from illness, or address other needs. The community carefully examines each guest's needs and can extend stays if necessary. Hospice and palliative care services are provided through partnerships with local hospice companies and include skilled nursing, pain management, spiritual and bereavement counseling, medical equipment and supplies, and social services delivered by an interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, aides, volunteers, social workers, and clergy.

Outpatient therapy services utilize personalized, clinically-proven strategies with highly-trained therapists and the latest technologies to increase mobility and reduce inflammation and pain. Treatment approaches include physician-approved interventions for post-operative care and other procedures, combining traditional methods with new technologies designed to make therapy effective and engaging.
