When Care Matters
What makes The Grove different from other nursing facilities is that we are a family owned business and we take a personal approach to our residents and their care. We realize that the decision to move into a nursing facility can be difficult, that is why we strive to make the transition into our facility as smooth as possible. We have been recognized by the Consumer Research Council of America as one of the leading patient care facilities in the nation.
The Grove can fulfill all of your nursing and therapy needs whether it is long term care, short stay rehabilitation after surgery in our state of the art rehab clinic, or independent living on our sister property, Orchard Park. Please look around our website and take a moment to familiarize yourself with all of the services that we have to offer. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to make an appointment for a tour of our beautiful facility please feel free to contact us.

Home is where the heart is
Once you step inside, it’s clear that this is not your typical nursing facility. The inviting fragrances fill the air, and the lush greenery is thoughtfully placed throughout the space. Smiling faces are plentiful as residents engage in activities like arts and crafts or a friendly game of bingo. Each sitting area is beautifully decorated, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The common areas are designed to be inviting and comfortable, fostering a sense of community and relaxation for all who visit.
All of our rooms, whether private or semi-private, boast complete renovations including; fresh paint and border, new bed spreads and privacy curtains, new nightstands and over- bed tables, new all-electric beds, and each resident has their own wall-mounted flat screen TV. We have made every effort to make our facility as “home-like” as possible.
We are constantly educating, maintaining, upgrading, and replacing in order to ensure that our residents’ expectations are exceeded.
We encourage you to look around our website and take a moment to familiarize yourself with all of the services that we have to offer. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to make an appointment for a tour of our beautiful facility please feel free to contact us.
