Arbor View Nursing & Rehabilitation

08/21/2026

Our mission at Arbor View is to be the facility where consistently exceptional nursing and rehab care meets a warm, dementia-friendly community. We are a team committed to being a trusted resource for the people we serve: our residents, their families, and the community. We proudly offer Dementia CARES training and certifications to every member of our staff, including all direct care, support, and management roles. We know that every person working in our facility has the opportunity to enrich the lives of our residents living with dementia.

We walk to honor our current and former residents and their loved ones. We walk to fight for resources and advocacy dedicated to the care of those living with Alzheimer's and Dementia. Walk is the largest event to raise funds and awareness for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association®, and our team is excited to participate this year. Please support our team by donating if you are able!

The Walk to End Alzheimer's is the world's largest event to fight Alzheimer's. Join now and help raise awareness and funds for care, support and research.

Dementia Care Minute:

People living with dementia still need purpose, connection, and the chance to feel useful.

The task may need to be simplified, but the feeling of contribution still matters.

Try offering simple, familiar activities:

Folding towels.
Sorting socks.
Watering plants.
Stirring batter.
Matching napkins.
Looking through family photos.
Helping set the table.

The goal is not perfection. The goal is engagement, dignity, and a moment that feels meaningful.

Happy Father’s Day from Arbor View.

Today, we celebrate fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, uncles, mentors, and father figures whose love, lessons, stories, and steady presence have shaped generations.

We’re especially grateful for the men in our Arbor View family and for the families who trust us to care for the people they love.

Share a Father’s Day memory, lesson, or message in the comments to help us celebrate.

Questions Families Ask Us: “What is respite care?”

Respite care is a short-term stay that can give family caregivers time to rest, travel, recover, attend to personal needs, or simply catch their breath while their loved one receives care and support.

Families often consider respite when caregiving has become exhausting, when extra support is needed after an illness or change in condition, or when a caregiver needs temporary help.

Asking for respite support does not mean you are giving up. It means you are making sure both you and your loved one are cared for.

Save this if your family may need short-term support in the future.

Dementia Care Minute:

When someone living with dementia is confused, upset, or overwhelmed, long explanations can sometimes make the moment harder.

Try using fewer words, a calm voice, and one simple direction at a time.

Instead of saying, “We need to get ready because your appointment is soon and then we have to leave,” try: “Let’s put on your shoes.”

Then pause. Smile. Give them time.

Simple communication can help reduce frustration and make the next step feel easier.

Small changes in how we communicate can make a big difference.

With Father’s Day coming up next weekend, we’re thinking about the sayings, lessons, jokes, and little traditions passed down by dads, grandfathers, uncles, and father figures.

Some advice sticks with us for a lifetime.

What is something your dad, grandfather, or father figure always used to say? Share it with us in the comments!

Rehab Recovery Tip:

Strength is not just about lifting weights. For seniors, strength can mean getting out of a chair safely, walking with more confidence, improving balance, returning to daily routines, or reducing fall risk.

During Men’s Health Week, we’re especially mindful of the importance of helping men stay active, supported, and engaged in their recovery goals.

Our therapy team works with residents on practical skills that matter in everyday life.

Have questions about short-term rehab after a hospital stay or participating in therapy during a long stay? We’re happy to help families understand what comes next.

Dementia Care Minute:

When a loved one living with dementia says something that is not accurate, it can be natural to want to correct them.

But correction is not always the most helpful response. Sometimes it can increase confusion, embarrassment, or frustration.

Instead, try offering reassurance first.

“You’re safe.”
“I’m right here with you.”
“We’ll take care of it together.”
“That sounds important to you.”

The goal is not to win the facts. The goal is to protect dignity, reduce distress, and create a calmer moment.
