About Senior Care.

Our Senior Residential Care and Senior Smiles programs are designed especially for meeting the healthcare needs of individuals residing in assisted living, adult family homes and skilled nursing facilities. The program is staffed by physicians, nurse practitioners, and other staff who will provide patients with primary medical care and, when needed, consultative care for short-term or transitional patients. The program has an excellent foundation created by the founding team. That foundation allows us to move this program forward. It is now growing and expanding to greater heights in order to meet the needs of all partner facilities.
