While there is no place like home, there comes a time when health declines and personal needs change.
When illness or injury occurs, recovery may require a short stay at the hospital or a skilled nursing facility.

Our residents chose Candace Read as our Employee of the Month, and we couldn’t agree more! 🌟
As our Community Liaison, Candace goes out into the community to connect families with our home — and when she’s back in the building, she’s right there helping with big events, parties, and activities. She even makes sure our rooms look beautiful and welcoming for new residents so they feel comfortable from day one.
She is truly such an asset to our team. Thank you, Candace, for the heart and dedication you bring to Highland Pines every single day! 💙
