Holliswood Center Since taking over from the previous ownership, the Holliswood Center has become a model for skilled nursing care in the region, earning the Medicaid.gov coveted 5-star rating in 2014, after just 3 full years in the Center family. A large facility with a full compliment of residents, Centers nonetheless set out to plan a series of renovations that would make the facility more efficient and most important more comfortable and friendly for our residents. Painstakingly planning how to work around the daily needs of residents and staff, common areas were redesigned, made brighter and more flexible, and the dining room was ungraded to a restaurant-like atmosphere. Initial renovations to a number of patient rooms have begun and eventually every patient room will be fully refurbished. The Physical therapy suite has been expanded and outfitted with the latest in necessary equipment and the grounds have been secured so our residents can enjoy the fresh air in warmer months. The Holliswood Center is a warm, comfortable place filled with good friends, and that’s what our new look reflects, and it makes us all look forward to what new and exciting improvements the future will bring.
