Personal preference and individual ability determine what a resident's typical day is like at Brittany. Residents choose their own meals, participate in their own resident care conferences, serve on the Resident Council, and participate in any number of varied activities.

Staff at Brittany work as a team to help new residents make the transition into our nursing home and we take pride in the close relationships that follow. Dedicated caregivers, social workers, rehabilitation and recreation specialists are just a few of the support resources available to residents.

This very special, self-contained unit, has dedicated staff trained in understanding that dementia is not a disease, but an illness characterized by a decline in cognitive abilities. Our goal is to create a supportive, safe environment that manages behavioral symptoms without use of physical and chemical restraints. It is a warm, predictable, homey space that is enjoyable and stimulating for residents.

We specialize in services for those who have had a joint replacement, fracture, stroke, accident or illness. Our physical therapy, occupational and speech therapy services are available in our well-equipped and attractive gym. We offer convenient scheduling options, and therapy is administered by licensed professionals as ordered by personal physicians.
