Rowan Community

Rowan is a 70-bed community, small enough to support personal relationships between residents and caregivers. Our residents vary in age, reflecting the diversity of a much larger community. Rowan’s focus is on a psycho-social model of care with a dynamic activities and social service program. Our staff is specially trained in behavior management and many are certified Eden Alternative™ associates and certifid Elder Care Specialists. Please come by for a visit and experience the Rowan Community difference! Private and semi-private accommodations are available.
