Bringing Joy and Safety to our Homes

In the modern world of medicine nurses are a necessity! With a compassionate hand, this special cadre of caregivers goes above and beyond to meet with those we support, learning everyone by name, their diagnoses, and how best to manage their care. Individuals at our Beacon homes love when nurses visit because they brighten morale and spirits along with keeping everyone healthy and jolly. Beacon nurses do what they love because it’s their passion.

The medical team alone is a great reason to provide safety, health, education, training for a loved one, and a prolonged quality life. The best thing anyone can ask for in life is a quality, blessed, and happy life.

What is a nurse? “The fundamentals of nursing involve direct patient care and act as an advocate and health educator for patients, families, and communities.” With quality education and years of field experience, our staff ensures knowledge for all patient’s medical history, current conditions, and provides best recommendations and treatment at all times while under their direct care.
