SUMMARY OF SERVICES:
Offering varying levels of senior care, from IL, AL, Skilled, MC, and Rehab, many individuals and their families have been served well over the years, as The Davis organization continues to grow and evolve, meeting the demands of the market climate and ever-fluctuating changes in the industry. Davis has undergone two significant transformations in their history, first with moving from a traditional medical-model nursing facility structure to a more home-like structure, renovating the existing healthcare facility into 10 "households" where our residents and staff operate as a family unit, allowing emphasis for a resident's individual choice, privacy parameters, and home-like comforts. Secondly, in June 2023, Davis completed a $90M bond-financed expansion, broadening our business model to add Independent Living and compelling amenities to attract active adults to join a vibrant, engaging community.
Our community works diligently to ensure that the founder's original vision and mission prevail while continuing to build and scale the business to remain relevant and competitive in our dynamic marketplace. To this end, excellence is sought in reaching targeted metrics and KPIs for all associates, working and collaborating as unit teams to meet/exceed collective goals.
