Health Care Center

Compassion, dedication, and outstanding services – these are just three of the many qualities that make the Health Care Center at Cross Keys Village – The Brethren Home Community the trusted choice for specialized health services. Today, with experience and strong leadership, we deliver a holistic approach to health and wellness that encompasses the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of life.


Quality, life-enhancing care
As a not-for-profit organization, we can make resident care our top priority, from rehabilitation and transitional care to long-term medical services and support. Our multidisciplinary team integrates modern health-care practices with individualized attention, so residents receive the best care available. Individuals residing in the Health Care Center, whether short-term or long-term, have access to the complete array of services we offer, including restorative nursing and rehabilitation services. Two respected community hospitals are only minutes away, and larger, specialized
facilities are nearby, should the need occur for
additional care.

In a nurturing community
Residents and their families agree, we put the accent on respect, dignity, and kindness in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our professional team provides thoughtful support and attention that is synonymous with Christian care in the Brethren tradition. We value open communication between staff, residents, and families, and we encourage everyone’s involvement when the plan of care is developed for their loved one. Because families are a vital part of our team, we warmly welcome them into the extended Cross Keys family, inviting them to visit often and providing ongoing support to them through
encouragement and support groups.

Thoughtfully planned amenities and services
As part of the Cross Keys Village community, the Health Care Center’s accompaniments include a warm, intimate, and home-like ambiance with amenities and services that encourage healing and recovery, while emphasizing self-sufficiency and privacy.
