About Sharon Lane
Sharon Lane At A Glance
At the heart of every strong organization is a shared mission and capable leadership dedicated to bringing that vision to life.
At Sharon Lane Health and Rehabilitation, we believe the most effective way to create a caring and supportive environment is through a team based approach combined with a meaningful Life Enrichment Program. Together, these elements foster a warm, home like community where residents are encouraged to remain engaged, connected, and empowered to be the best they can be.
Sharon Lane Health and Rehabilitation offers Independent Living with services, short term skilled rehabilitation, and long term care. As a rental CCRC, there is no large entrance fee—just monthly rent with additional fees based on individual care needs, providing flexibility as needs change.
Our team approach is centered on truly knowing our residents—understanding their personal stories, family backgrounds, interests, and life experiences. This knowledge allows our staff to work collaboratively and consistently within the community, creating individualized opportunities for engagement that support physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well being.
Through our Life Enrichment Program, we are dedicated to creating an engaging, purposeful environment that addresses the needs of the whole person. Our activities and experiences are designed to reduce loneliness, helplessness, and boredom while promoting choice, dignity, independence, and a sense of purpose.
By incorporating animals, nature, creative expression, and regular intergenerational connections—such as visits from local youth organizations—residents of Sharon Lane Health and Rehabilitation continue to thrive, remain active participants in daily life, and enjoy meaningful connections that reflect how they have lived throughout their lives.
