Expert care and personal motivation

Diakon health-care professionals are experienced in effectively treating a variety of conditions, including orthopedic injuries, strokes, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses. We can help you to recover after a hospital stay or build your strength before a planned hospitalization to facilitate a more effective recovery.

Using a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach that may involve consultation with physicians, nurses, and social workers, our physical, occupational, and speech therapists develop a comprehensive therapy plan tailored to meet your specific needs. And our team approach also involves you and your family. With personal attention, patience, and continuing encouragement, our staff members provide invaluable support, helping you to overcome challenges and achieve your rehabilitation goals.

Every Diakon senior living community offers spacious private and semi-private rooms. Fully furnished and tastefully decorated, they feature accessible bathrooms, convenient handrails, individual heating and air conditioning and emergency-call systems. Nutritious and appetizing meals are served in the communities’ dining rooms.
