Our Care Approach
Graduate Post Acute emphasizes rehabilitation and skilled nursing, aiming to help residents return home as soon as possible. The interdisciplinary team provides therapies up to seven days a week, focusing on restoring independence. Staff are described as attentive and caring, but the community does not offer specialized memory or behavioral care, which may be a consideration for families with loved ones who have advanced dementia.
Family Experience
Families often describe positive interactions with staff, who are seen as kind and professional. However, some report frustration with communication, especially when seeking updates or addressing concerns about loved ones with dementia. The social services team is highlighted as particularly supportive, but not all families feel their concerns are adequately addressed.

The director of social services Markysha was extremely supportive and pleasant to speak with. The rest of the staff were very nice to my clients. They deserve a raise on the 2nd floor.
