Thorvaldson Care Center is a unique all-inclusive Intermediate Care facility. An 'Enhanced' level of care is provided by an on-site Nurse and 24hr Health Care staff.  We cater to those elderly who do not need placement in a Personal Care Home - yet require more support than what is currently offered in the community.  Our priority is to provide a safe and comfortable environment - with attentive, consistent and reliable staff to meet the needs of our residents.
