What is the difference between a convalescent center and a retirement home?
Convalescent centers offer 24-hour medical care by a team of professionals which includes Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses who work closely with an attending physician, plus our entire staff is under the direction of a licensed administrator. They are joined by other specialists including physical and recreational therapists, activities directors, social workers, and dietitians, so that we can provide our residents with the highest level of care possible. Retirement homes provide only minimal medical care.
