Skilled Care Services
Currently 115 beds are available within St. Anne’s
Home for the Elderly, our normally deficiency free nursing
home which is dually certified Medicare and Medicaid.
Nursing home rooms are housed on the south end of the
campus close to therapies; the dining room which serves
physician ordered, dietitian and speech therapy approved
therapeutic diets; activities areas, medical, dental
and podiatry and social services. We accommodate short
and long term stays.
If residents choose physicians who regularly see St.
Anne's residents as part of their practice there is
rarely a need to leave the building. Out patient psychiatric,
neurological, psychological, ENT, audiology and optometry
services are also provided onsite. Physical, occupational
and speech therapy services are provided by Covenant
Health Care.
With around the clock nursing staff, a Registered Nurse
on duty at all times and adjunct services our goal is
always to encourage our residents to achieve and maintain
their optimal level of function and maximum independence.
At times that goal will include returning to the resident’s
prior residence. When that is not possible, we work
with the resident, family and their support network
to make the residents stay at St. Anne’s as close
to home as possible since we strive to treat everyone
like family.
Our full time priest is available to residents and
their families. He has Mass in our chapel 6 days per
week, routinely visits residents and has spiritual small
group gatherings with residents as a part of the activity
program. Other pastoral care staff and volunteers contribute
to the spiritual aspect of our resident’s lives
by ecumenical services, serving as eucharistic ministers
or readers, singing in the choir, playing organ or piano
and as vigilkeepers. If a resident is nearing their
end of life vigilkeepers are available should a resident
or family wish it. Vigilkeepers stay with the dying
resident, pray with them and as much as possible see
to it that they are not left alone.
