When it comes to caring for your aging loved one, often decisions have to be made that are difficult and can be upsetting for all concerned. How do you choose between the myriad of options available for elder care? It all depends on your loved one’s needs and the range of services that are offered in your community.
Because our senior-living facilities are an integral part of the Paynesville Area Health Care System, these facilities have the advantage of a number of strengths including a well-trained, compassionate staff, complete and easy access to medical care and the latest in technological advances. Two of our senior-housing complexes are attached to our main clinic and hospital, giving our seniors a care-free way to their medical appointments.
HOUSING WITH SERVICES facilities

If your loved one is fairly active you may want to look into an housing with services facility. Paynesville Area Health Care System is proud to offer two housing with services facilities to provide care for your loved one.

SKILLED CARE Centers
Is a skilled care center the best option for my loved one?
Skilled Care Centers, as the name implies, provide skilled care for patients with various medical needs. In choosing whether or not to place your loved one in a skilled care center will largely depend on their health and general well-being. Our facilities provide around the clock care for your loved one and have doctors on staff that will do checkups on patients and provide medical care such as medications, prosthetics, and physical therapy if needed. Skilled care centers or "nursing homes," as you may know them by, are sometimes viewed with a certain amount of disdain but you can rest assured that regulations are in place and the facilities are checked for compliance regularly.
