An emphasis on total health care

The Health Center at Richland Place is licensed as a Skilled and Long Term Care Nursing Facility. We have 107 licensed beds. Our health center is part of our continuing care retirement community (CCRC) and is available to the public. We provide both temporary care, such as during a rehabilitative stay, and long term care as needed.

Our Health Center features 24-hour RN (registered nurse) coverage. We accept most medical insurance coverage according to Medicare guidelines, and we can assist you with long term care insurance policies. We participate in the Medicare program, but do not accept Medicaid as a payment source.

Comfort, satisfaction and well-being

We have created an environment that encourages residents and patients to feel at home. We believe that a patient’s comfort and satisfaction are essential to his or her well-being. For this reason, we stray from convention when necessary.

Perhaps our greatest distinction is the area of rehabilitation. We have made a substantial investment in special equipment and furnishings so that our licensed therapist can offer comprehensive rehabilitation programs. We believe that rehabilitative therapies for all patients enhance quality of life.

The Richland Place Health Care Center offers the following major categories of care:
