Nexion Neighbor
The Nexion Neighbor Program was created with a goal of meeting our residents’ needs in the best way possible. This includes, but is not limited to, being cared for in a clean, caring, comfortable environment and having a positive experience while residing in one of our homes.
To carry this out, we work to connect a staff member with each resident. The staff member is then given the honor of providing extra attention and support to his or her Nexion Neighbor. Sometimes our residents just want someone to listen or a hand to hold. No matter how basic or comprehensive, the Nexion Neighbor Program is a valuable component of our individualized care plans.
WATCH VIDEOWhite Dove
Our residents are our family and it’s important to our affiliates to show them the same respect in death as in life. The White Dove Program is part of Nexion’s Death and Dying with Dignity Initiative. The program was designed to honor residents and provide compassionate care and counseling for families as death approaches. Our affiliates provide residents and families with a warm, comfortable environment to say goodbye to their loved one as they go on hospice care. Additionally, our affiliates’ staff pay tribute and say goodbye to our deceased residents as they are escorted out of our home for the last time.

Respite Care
We know that caring for a family member or friend is a labor of love, but sometimes you may just need a break. We offer peace of mind during your vacation knowing your loved one is well cared for. Our 24-hour, skilled nursing staff provides compassionate, quality care while managing medication, bathing and activities of daily living. Additionally, we have fun and stimulating activities with transportation to any local appointments.
Our rehabilitation team provides a free rehabilitation screening to identify any needs for physical, occupational or speech therapy.
Tuck-in Program
The Tuck-In Program represents the commitment and relationship that Nexion affiliates have with our residents. Our care for our residents does not end when they discharge from us. With this program our affiliates maintain the line of communication after our short-term residents discharge home from our facility.
The Tuck-in Program is a follow-up program for managing the patients’ safe transition to home, and for ongoing communication with other care providers during the 60-day period following discharge from the facility. This does not replace the caregiver but provides a link to others who can support a patient’s progress after discharge, like the primary care physician, home care agency care manager and pharmacy.
