Long Term Care
There are basically four levels of inpatient health care.
The first is acute care which is provided in hospitals. The second is sub-acute care which may be provided in a separate unit in a hospital or in a free standing facility or in a nursing home. Sub-acute care means the person needs very specific medical interventions, such as ongoing ventilator assistance or a high level of complex rehabilitation care. The third is long-term care. This is provided in a nursing home setting. The last is assisted living. This is for people who need help with activities of daily living (ADLs), but they do not need intensive rehabilitation or nursing care (more details).

Activity Therapy
Activity Therapy offers our residents opportunities to remain vibrant, engaged, and stimulated mentally as well as physically. A key aspect to our program is the variety of options we offer. We understand the different interests and abilities of our residents, and plan accordingly. Residents may choose from programs such as cooking classes, bingo, ceramics, or even surfing the ‘net. Alternatively, we also offer bowling, baseball games, gardening, and other more physically challenging activities. We frequently take part in community events and enjoy the beauty of downtown Managing stress, improving physical abilities, and building confidence are just a few of the valuable results of activity therapy. Many residents make new friends and develop meaningful relationships while participating in their favorite activities.
