Shop & Support

There is zero cost to you and you don't lose your fuel points or any other value from your memberships.
Sponsor a Resident
We accept Medicaid residents at the Healthcare Center when others don’t – today, 65% of the residents at the Healthcare Center are on Medicaid.
On average, Medicaid reimburses us $60 LESS per day or $1800 LESS per month than what we receive for other residents. For all the Medicaid residents, that results in a $126,000 per month shortfall!
We are the ONLY non-profit skilled nursing facility in Fayette County. Without us, some would have nowhere to go.
Will you adopt a resident?
1 day = $60
2 days = $120
1 week = $420
2 weeks = 840
1 month = 1800
6 months = $10,800
