Long Term Care The decision to place a loved one in a nursing home can be very difficult. At Kirkhaven we understand this, and we go the extra mile to help make the experience as positive as possible for all concerned.

At Kirkhaven, your loved one receives 24-hour nursing care as part of an individualized care plan. One of our staff physicians is on-site each weekday, and on call during the night and weekends. In addition, we make living at Kirkhaven as medically convenient as possible: prescription drugs, routine dental care, podiatry services, psychiatric consultations, vision care maintenance, ear-nose-throat care, and speech therapy are all available as necessary and prescribed by your primary physician.

We encourage our long-term care residents to be as active and independent as possible. Residents can take part in a wide variety of recreational activities on-site: music, creative arts, discussion groups, gardening, exercise, cooking, films, holiday parties and other social events. Residents may reserve one of our visiting rooms to entertain a number of guests. Outings and overnight visits to family and friends can also be scheduled, along with trips to cultural events.

Whenever possible, each long-term resident is cared for by the same nurse and nursing assistants on a regular basis. This helps create close relationships. Residents appreciate the stability and familiarity, and staff gets to know each individual's preferences and needs.

Call our Admissions Coordinator at (585) 461-1991, extension 3010 with any questions or to arrange a tour of our beautiful facility.
