Inevitably, we all begin to require more care as we age. The pursuit of a healthy life suddenly seems more important than ever – as medical issues become more prominent, risks at home may develop, and awareness of our abilities may decline.
Senior care at Catholic Health is provided on either a long- or short-term basis, by a multi-disciplinary team that includes doctors, nurses, therapists, and home health aides. Whether you elect yourself or your loved one to receive care in a rehab center or at home, a coordinated approach guides all of our treatment decisions.
At Catholic Health, we strive to provide you with compassionate, cost-efficient care. Our programs are nationally recognized for quality and excellence by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, as well as HomeCare Elite, which rates home health agencies.
We coordinate your care from the time you enter our facilities and after you return home. We provide the most advanced treatments and therapies available, delivered by experts in senior care and rehabilitation.
Our services include:

No one can prepare for how you might react when you or a loved one experiences a medical emergency or potentially life-threatening situation. Our spiritual care team is on-call 24/7 to provide the right kind of support for you – through discussion, prayer, and more.
