It’s currently fully occupied with 30 residents, reflecting consistent demand and community trust in the facility. Accepted are Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay, which provide families with many ways to cover care costs.
The community serves post-acute rehabilitation residents and those requiring active nursing care, averaging a stay length of 162 days.
