Bishop White Lodge, our on-site Skilled Nursing Facility, is considered to be one of the largest nursing facilities within the Continuing Care Retirement Community industry.  Its 148 beds are evenly divided among three floors with the majority in private rooms.  One floor is exclusively devoted to the care of patients with Alzheimers disease and other illnesses related to memory impairment. 

Our Residential Contract for apartment residents covers an unlimited number of days for temporary nursing care, as well as permanent nursing care if needed.

Patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory impairment illnesses have special needs that are cared for by our compassionate and expert staff.  We offer flexible care that provides our residents with a comfortable environment that strives to maintain their independence.  Recreational programs are created to focus on each resident’s personal life experiences and abilities.

We believe that the education and support of all who care for each resident are essential components of a successful program.  Our Supportive Services Department is comprised of skilled social workers that assist our residents and their families in becoming familiar with their new surroundings.  They are also responsible for keeping the line of communication open with our residents’ families or friends.

Supportive Services also offers support to family and friends in times of need and encourages them to take part in the resident’s care by attending regularly scheduled care plan meetings.  A “caregivers” support group has been established along with an Alzheimer’s support group.  Both give those dealing with similar issues a chance to share their experiences with each other.
