I only have good praises for the staff at Hickory Ridge. My mother was a patient there for 9 weeks. She had a glioblastoma brain tumor. She was given 6 -12 weeks of remaining life.

My uncle is a resident at Hickory Ridge. He suffers from dementia, so he does not even know how to hit the call button if he needed anything. That being said, every time we go to see him, he is clean, shaved, and seems to be very happy!! I cannot say enough good things about the wonderful staff here... Read More

My grandma was really happy with her care here for rehab-to-home. She just went on and on about how Josh really focused in on the underlying issue, and I came up (from out of state) and noticed how much her walking has changed and improved! So, thank you, Josh! ***EDIT TO ADD: My grandmother told m... Read More

I spent 3 weeks there back in 2019 and have only good things to say. At age 49 I obviously wasn't your typical nursing home patient and didn't need the same level of care as many of the elderly residents but I was still pretty weak due to cancer and some bad reactions to my cancer treatments. I ther... Read More

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.
