Often times, a patient requires care over an extended period of time. Such long-term care needs may include memory disabilities, terminal conditions, physical disabilities and illness consistent with the aging process. Long term care may last for weeks, months or years in a traditional nursing home setting. Our caring staff provides long-term care at Christian City Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, which is operated by PruittHealth.
