With a focus on treating the whole person—meeting physical, emotional, and psychological needs—the facility provides personalized, evidence-based therapy plans with physical, occupational, and speech therapies up to seven days a week, supported by a dedicated team averaging many years of service, including owner Ken Thompson with 26 years of involvement.

What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
The clinical team at Saint Anthony Rehabilitation & Nursing Center provides a complete continuum of support tailored to aging and recovery. Their services range from short-term rehabilitative stays and temporary respite care to long-term skilled nursing and compassionate hospice assistance.
Therapies
Physical, occupational, and speech therapies are available up to seven days a week, customized to whatever intensity a resident's physician recommends. Notably, they feature a specialized four-week intensive program driven by an on-site LSVT-BIG certified therapist to specifically address the tremors, posture, and imbalance associated with Parkinson’s disease.
Addictions
The programs at this facility are dedicated exclusively to physical rehabilitation, senior health, and long-term nursing, rather than the treatment of substance use disorders. Prospective patients seeking dedicated drug or alcohol recovery programs should consult with a specialized behavioral health center.
Conditions
Medical recovery and chronic disease management form the core of the clinical work here. The nursing and therapy teams specialize in helping residents navigate orthopedic conditions, cardiac care, cancer recovery, and stroke rehabilitation. They also provide targeted functional interventions for complex neuromuscular challenges like Multiple Sclerosis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, and Parkinson’s Disease.
Issues
Navigating complex medical transitions frequently involves heavy emotional and practical burdens for the whole family. The center actively addresses caregiver stress through structured respite programs, offering families a reliable way to rest while knowing their loved one is safe, alongside comprehensive pain management and hospice care for end-of-life transitions.
Programs
Rooted in a profoundly Catholic-oriented tradition, the overarching philosophy focuses on a belief-inclusive environment that caters to the whole person mentally, physically, and spiritually. Daily Mass is offered in the chapel for those who wish to attend, though the staff actively supports and accommodates the spiritual growth of all faiths.
On-site
Amenities
Unwinding looks different for everyone, so the layout includes vibrant gathering spots like Klinks Cafe alongside a peaceful outdoor courtyard. Newly renovated rooms come standard with cable television and WiFi, ensuring residents can effortlessly stay connected to family while taking advantage of restaurant-style dining options.
Coverage
Payment
Financial accessibility for skilled nursing and rehabilitation often relies heavily on structured institutional benefits.
