At Village Health Care, your physical health and treatment are only one part of the story.
Our team approach also includes assistance from our social services department to enhance your mental, emotional, and social well-being. Our social workers have specialized training to help understand the challenges that come with aging and making the transition from the hospital to Village Health Care to returning home.
Village Health Care fosters an environment that is physically, emotionally, and socially supportive. We believe in the power of positive self-image, and we emphasize decision-making and independence while encouraging social interaction.
The social work team in our Life Enrichment department will work closely with you to establish your care goals. We know that each of our residents is unique, and we approach social services as a conversation about your life and needs. We will treat you with the respect you deserve.
While we focus on you, we know that families and loved ones are important to you and your overall health. We will work closely with those who care about you to give you the strongest care team.
