Retirement Communities like Moosehaven

Retirement Communities like Moosehaven are designed to allow residents the ability to age in place. Each community is structured differently in the levels of care provided, but essentially, residents live independently in individual homes or apartments and have access to healthcare accommodations on the premises. Care is available only to residents of the community and not to the general public.

Moosehaven operates as such a community and offers a comprehensive approach to aging in place. Multiple levels of care are provided on campus. Moosehaven provides nurse on call care and a physician staffed clinic, enhanced living, rehabilitation services (physical, occupational and speech therapy), dementia/memory care, skilled nursing, and Hospice care exclusively for residents.

Allows residents to maintain daily activities without assistance or supervision.
