A Life Care Community or Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) is defined as one that offers various amenities, services, and levels of care. At St. Mark Village, we offer Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, and Rehabilitation. The Village attracts active seniors who desire to live in a vibrant environment where they can savor every moment, with the knowledge that they will receive compassionate quality care, when and if needed.

Choosing Life Care at St. Mark Village means financial security, value, and peace of mind. Truly the greatest gift you can give yourself and your loved ones.
