Starting The Journey
Whether for yourself or a family member, planning a short-term recovery, a longer-term future stay, considering relocating into an assisted living environment or keeping you safe in your own home, we can help ensure you choose the right place. At Van Dyk Health Care, we want to make sure that you get the physical, emotional and spiritual care you need.

The journey is a process that we will gladly go through with you — answering any questions that you may have.
