We offer assisted living for elderly people who prefer a supportive environment; we provide transitional rehabilitative care for patients who need extended treatment following a stay in the hospital; and we offer skilled nursing care with specialized facilities and programs for those who suffer from Alzheimer's and for individuals who are blind.

Each day at Saunders House, there is a full schedule of events designed to stimulate and entertain our residents, from music and humor therapy to fine arts, crafts and dance movement.  We are doing more each day to allow our "person-centered planning" to provide daily activities designed to meet the individual needs of each resident.
