"Providing high quality care for both short- and long-term residents is a great asset to Canton, along with employment opportunities with a stable, Michigan-based company."
The 59,000 sq. ft. facility also will feature a kitchen/dining area, library, recreational area, lounge and a salon.
Founded in 1998, Ciena Healthcare also manages skilled nursing facilities throughout Wayne County, including eleven communities in Detroit. Additionally, the company plans to break ground on a new community in West Bloomfield in the near future.
