Each resident will have a care plan coordinated by an interdisciplinary team which includes members from nursing, rehabilitation, dietary, and social services, which is regularly reviewed and changed. Our dedicated team of healthcare specialists are on duty 24 hours a day, providing comprehensive care to our patients from minimal assistance to advanced medical services.

Cosmetic
It’s important to factor in recovery planning. After procedures such as: facelift, liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, or butt lift, you’ll want someone to take care of you. Although home may be the preferred option, it may be best to recover at a licensed health care center where licensed nurses and certified nurses’ aides can take care of all your post-op needs.
