Rest Home

We provide compassionate residential care services to individuals who wish to maintain their independence in a home like atmosphere. Our service is designed in a sensitive manner that promotes choice and assists in meeting residents needs.

We believe that personal enrichment comes from serving our residents well. A team approach (in conjunction with the Nursing Home), staff development and quality initiatives support resident centered outcomes. Volunteers and community agencies are integral to our success.
