However, our long-term-care services provide an alternative to those whose complex and chronic healthcare needs make independent living no longer an option. Our residents are of all ages, many coping with debilitating and progressive conditions like multiple sclerosis or ALS. Whatever brings them to Silvercrest, they have one thing in common: A desire to build a new life, full of quality, function and happiness. Program Features The support of an expert and nurturing staff and a spirit of intergenerational friendship among all residents. A family approach that emphasizes and encourages these essential bonds through open-invitation parties and club meetings, as well as ongoing communication with social workers and other staff members. Necessary medical and nursing therapies to support the most complex conditions, including intravenous therapy, portable ventilators, wound care, and palliative and comfort care, as well as an extensive roster of routine specialty doctor consultations when appropriate.

Our pulmonary care staff is expert at weaning patients from ventilators, as well as providing ventilator patients the ability to speak and eat pleasurably.

Many classes, trips and events are offered and there is ample opportunity to exercise, socialize, worship and learn, including access to computers, the internet and email.
