Frequently Asked Questions

Please give us a call and ask to speak with Admissions. We will be happy to answer your questions, learn more about your needs, and introduce you to our skilled nursing facility team.

We recommend approximately five changes of clothing and a pair of comfortable rubber-soled shoes. All articles should be washed and clearly labeled with the resident’s name in permanent ink. These items will be entered into the patient’s inventory log. Other personal items should be marked or engraved for identification. We advise that residents do not keep valuable jewelry or large amounts of cash in the facility. We encourage you to bring personal items such as family photos, blankets, decorative items, and anything that will help make your stay more comfortable.

No, you do not need to bring your own medications unless specifically told to do so. Upon admission, we will order your medications using our off-site, local pharmacy, then securely store them on-site to ensure safety. We partner with a local pharmacy so that we can fill your prescriptions quickly.
