Alliance Health & Human Services. Care, support and peace of mind.
If you’re reading this, we know that you are going through a challenging process. While pictures of clean facilities, friendly nurses or happy outcomes can be reassuring, how can you be confident you’re making the right decision for you or a loved one? We believe it comes down to three things: Our experience, our expertise and our compassion.
Experience.
Experience Since opening our first nursing facility in 1999.we have become one of the region’s most experienced provider of skilled nursing, rehab, foster care services and, more recently, hospice care. This means that we know (and have influenced) best-practices which allows us to provide more effective and efficient care. In addition, our reputation for excellence attracts the best and brightest care providers in the area who value our holistic approach, state-of-the-art equipment and innovative techniques.
Expertise.
At Alliance, we pride ourselves on providing our patients and clients with the highest level of skill and knowledge to ensure that they are getting the best possible care, guidance and support. Whether its innovative treatments and facilities, or just knowing how to navigate the complex logistical of health care, hospice, foster care and adoption, we know what it takes to achieve the best possible results.
Compassion.
At the heart of what we do lies a genuine compassion for the individuals and families we serve. We believe in fostering empathy and understanding among our staff, and ensuring that our facilities and processes reflect this commitment. We recognize the challenges and uncertainties that often go hand-in-hand with the services we provide, and it’s our mission to provide unwavering support and care.
Through the operations of our skilled nursing & rehabilitation facilities for elders, quality end of life care and specialized therapeutic foster care programs for at-risk children, Alliance Health & Human Services is dedicated to improving and enriching the lives of elders and children.
