ABOUT OUR CARE

St. Thomas More is privileged to work with leading doctors and highly skilled staff members, who enable us to pursue the highest standards in the healthcare industry. Our management team has over 100 years of combined experience in the delivery of health care. A high ratio of nurse practitioners to residents, registered dietitians and general staff exceed all industry standards. Our large physical plant and grounds offer more space for activities and for residents to be able to have their time of solitude. St. Thomas More offers a large number of private rooms (174) as well as on-site dialysis.

These include consulting medical specialists in nephrology, infectious diseases, internal medicine, psychiatry, general surgery, orthopedics and geriatrics. Additional health care professionals on staff further enhance the level of care available within the facility. Our staff includes registered dietitians, a psychologist, and geriatric nurse practitioners .

Whether an individual comes to receive rehabilitative services, long-term skilled nursing care or both, it is our goal to provide the very best health care in the most compassionate and caring manner possible. Because people trust us to take care of them or a loved one when they are unable to care for themselves, we never forget our responsibility to serve them and attend to their needs. In addition, the in-house dialysis center is a major attraction because of the continuity of care and the benefit of not having to travel to another location to receive treatment. We also have more private rooms than other facilities in our area and residents can enjoy ample green, open space in their surroundings.
