OLIVEHURST
About Us
Our Olivehurst facility is located off Mcalister Ct. We offer a “home away from home” like environment where you can bring your child to receive skilled nursing care, occupational therapy, sensory integration, and socialization services. Our dedicated staff relies on our core values to provide a loving space for your child to develop and grow.
Our Pediatric unit serves children from ages 0-22 years old, and our Transitional Care Unit allows your child to continue services with Ridgeline after the age of 22 years old as long as the program is the best fit for their needs. If you are in need of skilled nursing care for your child at any age, we’d love to hear from you!
