Long-Term Care

What is Long-term Care?

Long term care takes place in a nursing home, where 24-hour nursing care is provided by registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and other healthcare professionals. 

Services

Through our well-rounded long-term care programs, we provide residents with comprehensive skilled nursing services and assistance with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing or eating.

Long-term care includes an extensive array of social and recreational activities to help residents live as actively, dignified and independently as possible. Our goal is to foster a sense of family and community for our residents.

• McAuley Residence (Kenmore)
