SERVICES
INDEPENDENT LIVING
At Maranatha Village, our retirement community has everything active seniors are looking for. Residents enjoy a comfortable and safe atmosphere where they can remain active, pursue their interests and share the companionship of friends, families and neighbors. Whether you are looking for a house or an apartment our senior-friendly designs reflect a maintenance-free option that provides one and two-bedroom apartments or houses you can have custom built to suit your needs.
ASSISTED LIVING
Assisted Living is designed for people who no longer feel comfortable living independently in their own home. For those who qualify, Assisted Living proves to be a desirable alternative to nursing home placement. It provides assistance with daily living as well as health supervision while encouraging each resident to maintain their independence.
REHABILITATION SERVICES
The Village offers the latest Rehabilitation Therapy with our trained professional staff. At the Village your family member will benefit greatly from our therapy team who are compassionate to the needs of the elderly and their families. One of the main factors that distinguishes the Village from others like it in the area is the combined levels of care and years of experience that our Rehabilitation team provides.
LONG TERM CARE
The Village has two Long Term Care facilities, the Manor and the Lodge, which are licensed to provide 24-hour skilled nursing care through private pay, Medicare and Medicaid. They are both designed to assist residents from living independently to receiving round-the-clock care in a friendly and safe environment. As a resident of the Village in Long Term Care, you can expect to find a nurturing staff who are dedicated to providing comfort and quality of life.LEADERSHIP TEAM
