Our Skilled Staff
Our experienced and caring staff takes pride in treating the individual needs of each resident/patient according to their particular functional level. Care of each resident is directed by the attending physician, and our family resident care plan meetings allow loved ones to participate in the plan of care. Our Medical Director is a certified medical director by the American Medical Directors Association. Our team members consist of: physicians, registered nurses, certified nursing assistants, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, a dietary manager, social worker and recreation directors. We also have consulting podiatrists, dentist, optometrist and advance practice registered nurses (APRN) on staff. A licensed registered dietician conducts ongoing assessments of each individual’s nutritional status, and specialized diet plans are provided as appropriate.
