Aviara Healthcare Center
Customized care for every patient
No matter your medical needs, we strive to provide individualized, compassionate care for everyone who enters our doors.
24-Hour Skilled Nursing
Our nurses are highly skilled professionals who genuinely care about each resident. Under the watchful guidance of our onsite Medical Director and Director of Nursing, our nurses follow an individual care plan created for each patient. And thanks to our ongoing education program, our nursing team is always improving their skills.
Physical, Occupational, & Speech Therapy
We offer short-term physical, occupational, and speech therapy to address every aspect of rehabilitation, from walking with confidence to speaking clearly. This team specializes in helping patients recover from things like joint replacement, cardiac events, and stroke. Together, they help patients build strength, skills, and confidence to return to their highest level of function.
