A Unique Approach

All residents receive individual care plans developed by a interdisciplinary team to meet their unique physical, social, medical, and dietary needs.

These plans are developed in conjunction with family members during the initial assessment meeting and each resident’s activities, changing interests and progress is tracked and reviewed during a quarterly meeting with family members. Additionally, three healthy meals, as well as therapeutic diet options, approved by a licensed dietitian, are prepared daily by Highview’s resident chefs.
