Larkin Avenue. Through the years Deerbrook has continued growing and evolving to meet community needs and today offers a full continuum of care from temporary respite to long-term skilled nursing to hospice services. Deerbrook provides exceptional short-term rehabilitation and a large range of specialty programs and services including an Alzheimer/Dementia care unit, a Wound care unit and a recently opened Hemodialysis Center. Our recently opened on-site hemodialysis center allows our residents to receive dialysis treatments in a comfortable personalized setting within our skilled facility. Our dialysis center is directed by a Board Certified Nephrologist dedicated to providing patients with individualized care. The director is supported by a team of registered nurses and hemodialysis technicians who strive to provide personal attention that you don’t always get in a larger clinic setting. Each of our dialysis stations includes a state of the art hemodialysis machine, individually mounted flat screen TV with internet access and a comfortable recliner. Dialysis services at Deerbrook eliminates the need for patients to travel to an outpatient clinic thus allowing more time for restorative and recreational activities. Deerbrook takes pride in our resident-centered philosophy and approach to care. Whether in short-term rehabilitation, long term skilled care or our specialty programs our commitment is to promoting optimum independence and quality of life for all who pass through our doors. Schedules are flexible and residents are engaged physically, socially and mentally. Residents are treated with dignity, respect and smiles.

From here you may search for members by company name and/or business categories. A full category drop down menu is available as well as an improved key word search function. Once a business or category has been displayed, new options appear as well in terms of business information. A scrolling list of new members appears on the right sidebar and you now have a feature that allows you to start your own list and/or roster to save for future reference. Second, we have added a brand new and easy to use Calendar of Events page that now allows all members to register and pay for their luncheon, dinner, etc online with a credit card or opt for an invoice to be sent out. No more faxing or mailing or calling in a reservation (we'll still gladly accept) as you can now complete your registration and receive confirmation right away.

Finally, you now have the option to import the events directly into Microsoft Outlook which is especially useful in this time of smart phone use. Take some time and check out both of these new features and we suggest that you utilize them to their fullest capabilities. You can feel free to contact us if you need help in one of the areas.
