It's All About What Our Guests & Employees Think About Us

My mother did three weeks of rehab following a stroke. I could not be more pleased with her treatment at The Laurels. Everyone was so pleasant and professional!

Wife was there to rehab after bad time respiratory illness. Everyone there is involved. When there was a question you can ask anyone and they point you in the right direction. Beth was very Ill but felt comfortable there which aided recuperation.

My recent visit was wonderful. The staff were attentive and welcoming. The young man I spoke with, Connor I believe, answered my questions with a smile and calmed my nerves. The employees go above and beyond to care for patients. Would definitely recommend!

Advocacy

Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) like Ciena Healthcare provide crucial services for our most vulnerable population: the frail and elderly. Today’s SNFs have significantly evolved over time to provide both long-term comprehensive care and short-term rehabilitation services. However, in comparison to other medical settings, especially hospitals, SNFs are often overlooked for important resources and funding.

As health care evolves, skilled nursing facilities are increasingly providing care previously delivered in hospitals. Nationwide, the 65 and older population will double over the next 20 years. By 2040, it could triple. As our population ages, SNFs are becoming increasingly vital to the care and wellbeing of our seniors.

SNFs need advocates and allies to actively engage with their representatives and speak up about important issues facing our industry. This page is designed to share ways you can help support SNFs and the vital services they provide for our elders.


Contact Your Elected Officials and Voice Your Support for SNFs!

It is crucial the voices of SNF supporters be heard by Congress. Members of Congress value their constituents’ opinions and it is critical they hear from our advocates and allies.
