Long Term Care

Cane Island’s activities provide opportunities to travel in and out of town in on our passenger bus to shop, attend movies, plays, county fairs and other exciting community events. We also provide opportunities to play games for cognition growth as such as Bingo, Sorry, Clue, Checkers, Chinese checkers, card games, and much more. One’s spiritual side is very important, so our local churches and pastors volunteer to bring church, singing and other types of services to fit the residents needs. We have entertainment that makes you laugh, dance, and mostly remember the “good ole days.” We provide cooking experiences that make your mouth water such as making our own apple butter, fried pies, homemade ice cream and much more. In the Cane Island activities department we have great times living life to its fullest.

They coach and encourage each resident to perform to the best of their ability in an effort to become as independent as possible, but always provide as much assistance as needed with a caring and compassionate attitude.

Quality Assurance Program

Cane Island’s Quality Assurance Program is second to none and we are constantly monitoring our quality of care at Cane Island. We are always brainstorming new ideas and trouble-shooting anything that may not be running properly or any faults in our systems. We have several systems in place and are continuing to implement new systems that help us provide a high quality of care with a diverse roll on nursing.
