About the Bruce McCandless Veterans Community Living Center at Florence

The Bruce McCandless Veterans Community Living Center at Florence is a proud member of the registry of the Eden Alternative, a nonprofit organization promoting quality of life in long-term care environments. Our "Eden" mission is to honor and respect those living and working in our home through companionship, empowerment and individualized care while providing a comfortable and safe place to live.

The Bruce McCandless Veterans Community Living Center at Florence offers the following services:

  • Long-term care: We provide long-term medical and non-medical care, including skilled nursing services, physical, occupational and speech therapy, social activities, and assistance with bathing, dressing and other activities of daily living.
  • Short-term rehabilitation: Physical, occupational and speech therapies are available for individuals seeking to return home following a qualifying hospital stay. Therapy specialists work with each individual to regain skills and improve physical strength, endurance and aerobic capacity.
  • Special programs: We have specially developed programs for memory care, end-of-life/hospice and short-term "respite" care. We are also proud of our resident-selected programs offering intergenerational activities, pet welfare, spa bathing and more.
  • Amenities: Recently renovated semi-private rooms feature new flooring, large energy-efficient windows, temperature controls in each room and cable television. Mountain views and well-manicured courtyards make our outdoor living spaces marvelous.
