Teresa’s House Is Just Like Home.
Only Better.

What if my loved one needs more?

Our Advanced Care (AC) home provides the highest level of high-acuity assisted living care and transcends the paradigm of a traditional assisted living community. With 24/7 nurses and state certified healthcare professionals providing the care, our families have the peace of mind of knowing their loved ones are receiving the best of care and services.
The residents in our AC Home are in the later stages of their diagnosed disease process(es) and our highly trained staff provides tailored care plans to meet the needs of each individual, up to and including hospice care. We believe that our residents should experience the best care, in a dignified manner through the full continuum of care, as they age in place.
We made Teresa’s House the kind of place that we’d want our loved ones to be, and we truly believe in giving all of our resident’s and families the same peace of mind. It’s Like Home – Only Better.
