Our Mission

We are committed to providing an atmosphere that allows our long-term residents and short-term patients to meet their physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs in a caring home-like environment.

Long-Term Care

Dignity. Quality. Friendliness. These are just a few ways our residents and their families describe our long-term care center.

Because every person is different, with individual needs and goals, each resident has a team of specialists who create a plan of care that is tailored precisely for them. The team includes nursing, rehabilitation, recreation, dietary and social service members who work together to care for the whole person: mind, body and spirit.

This is why the lifestyle at Laurel Ridge is filled with companionship, lively conversation and a wide variety of social, cultural and educational activities. This special approach to life distinguishes Laurel Ridge and offers each resident the opportunity to reach his or her highest potential.

We are committed to enhancing our residents’ independence and offer comprehensive services that include:

  • 24-Hour Nursing Care
