Shirley Lane

Shirley Lane is a secure unit designed to provide care to those with Alzheimer’s Disease or those that tend to wander.  Life on Shirley lane is centered around a dining and activity area, rather than a nurse’s station, and provides a peaceful home like environment.  We offer specialized activities to residents including: small group activities, music therapy, supervised outdoor activities in our secure courtyard and specialized one-on-one activities.

Rehab to Home

We have a fully staffed therapy department that provides physical, occupational and speech therapy.  Therapy services are available 7 days a week.  In addition to therapy we can provide: wound care, I.V. therapy, oxygen therapy, medication management, and many more services. Medication regimen is monitored by our qualified pharmacist. Our inter-disciplinary team works with our residents and caregivers throughout the rehab stay to ensure a positive experience.  We will set up home health or out-patient therapy services at time of discharge, as well as order any needed home equipment.  Following discharge, our social services department will periodically follow up with residents at home to ensure all needs are being met.
