About Highlands

Our skilled nursing team, rehabilitation and activity professionals, registered dietitian, and trained social workers function as a team to ensure each resident’s quality of life is maintained or enhanced. Skilled services are provided by the Highlands Care Center team, specializing in wound care, IV therapy, rehabilitation, and post-operative care with a registered nurse on duty 24-hours a day. Many members of our dedicated staff have over 20 years of service. Our physical therapists provide skilled services to improve the mobility, balance, transfers, and range of motion for those who require assistance to recover from a decline related to surgery, illness, or injury.

Additionally, residents with orthopedic conditions such as low back pain or osteoporosis; joint and soft tissue injuries such as fractures and dislocations; neurological conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, or Parkinson’s Disease can benefit from the skill of our physical therapists. Skilled care is provided to help restore the ability to complete the tasks necessary for activities of daily living. Grooming, dressing, bathing, and routine household tasks are part of occupational therapy. Sometimes adaptive equipment or environmental changes may be necessary to help our residents return home. Our speech therapist provides care to help the at-risk resident improve the ability to swallow, eat, or communicate.
