When chronic health issues, long-term illness or a prolonged recovery impact daily living, a skilled nursing care community is often the best option. While some people still hold outdated notions of what a skilled nursing home is, the goals of skilled nursing care are wellness, quality of life, and helping residents remain as independent as possible. In our Benedictine living communities, long-term care for seniors helps many people maintain a satisfying quality of life. Residents engage in social and recreational activities, pursue hobbies and interests, and receive personalized care and attention. Some people even realize cognitive improvement thanks to the social stimulation, exercise, good nutrition and proper medication management our skilled nursing communities provide.

The care and education children receive in the first five years of life is crucial to their social, emotional and academic development. Learning and growing in an atmosphere of love, respect, diversity and acceptance puts them well on their way to being happy and well adjusted. That’s why we offer developmental preschool for children ages 3 months through 5 years.

Our preschool is not simply a daycare or a child care service. Benedictine preschool is a year-round program in which children are exposed to a creative curriculum designed to prepare them for kindergarten by enhancing creativity as well as social and problem-solving skills.

Teachers trained in early childhood education lead age-appropriate activities in language arts, math readiness, science, dramatic play, cooking, art, music and creative movement. The curriculum is further enhanced by field trips.
