HCR ManorCare has taken the caring attitude they have with in their centers and extended it out to the community. ManorCare Health Servicesis a leading provider of short-term, post-acute services and long-term care. The company's nearly 60,000 employees provide high quality care for patients and residents through a network of more than 500 skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers, assisted living facilities, outpatient rehabilitation clinics, hospice and home care agencies.

Recently, Manor Care made a large monetary contribution to the Golden Age Centers of Greater Cleveland (GAC). The mission of the GAC is to provide outstanding programs and supportive services that enhance the quality of life and independence of older persons. As stated by James Armour, President and CEO of the GAC, "The Golden Age Centers are like a family to those to those who don't have one."

At HCR ManorCare, the goal for a large percentage of our patients is to regain their strength and mobility. In fact, 89.9% of our skilled patients regain their independence and return home after their therapy is complete. ManorCare recognizes that even after a successful discharge, some patients may still need some assistance with their activities of daily living. That is why they chose GAC as an organization to sponsor. The Golden Age Centers support older adults with home-delivered meals, socialization and health education. MCHS offers an additional supportive service to GAC members with monthly education presentations. Topics of the presentations range from healthy eating habits, home safety, dealing with depression and diabetes to education.

HCRManor Care is proud of its caring heritage and tradition of excellence in delivering quality health services to the Cleveland
community. At HCR ManorCare, we truly believe that, "the best way home is through our doors." To schedule a tour at the eastside Manor Care Euclid Beach location, please call me, Laura Washington at 216-486-2300 ext.2502
