Long Term Care
For those unable to live independently at home we offer medically supervised long term care. In these circumstances we honor the opportunity to help residents and families create a home right here at Washington Center. Our Restorative Nursing team works closely with the rehabilitation department to design individual programs for walking, strengthening, range of motion and similar services. From decorating the resident's room with special keepsakes to designing activities of special interest our staff works to ensure "Home is where the Heart is" for every resident.

Washington Center is a contracted provider with most managed care organizations and is now a member of the Evercare network.
