Saint Therese - IHM Senior Living
We provide a home for seniors who want to live in a place that has the full continuum of care – meaning residents can move into independent living and then as their care needs evolve, they can move to assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or stay in our short- term rehab center. We are a five-star facility licensed by Medicare and Medicaid and staffed by people who have the experience and passion to provide exceptional care. It is open to people of any faith tradition.
Just as we are a home for seniors, we want our employees to find a home at IHM Senior Living. We are extremely proud of our community and welcome employees who know how to work hard as well as care hard and have fun. We live our mission to “do ordinary things with extraordinary love”.
