About Us
Our residents live independently while enjoying the comfort of having assistance when needed.
At the Village at Skyline Pines, we have quite probably the best trained and most skilled team of professionals in the business.
The Village is locally managed by Kelli and Cory Back, who are employees and owners of the facility. There is no management company or corporate office outside of the facility making decisions about the care of our residents. The decisions are made by people at the facility who see our residents on a daily basis. Our residents, their families, and our staff enjoy the ability to visit directly with those calling the shots and any issues that might arise can be dealt with immediately.
The Village also does not have a Sales and Marketing team. 100% of our tours are done by either our Administrator, or our Assistant Administrator. We do that so the person making you the promises on how we will care for you or your loved one is the same person tasked with making sure those cares are done, and with enough horsepower to see those cares though.
Our Mission
The mission of The Village at Skyline Pines is to support and advocate for the highest quality of life for all residents. Our resident focused philosophy of care continues to grow as we deliver individualized service based on the needs of today's seniors. At the Village, we call it "living their best life" — meaning that no matter what challenges face a given resident, we are committed to them having the very best outcome possible.
Our Culture
Building Upon Freedom of Choice
Options are a way of life at The Village at Skyline Pines. From heart healthy meals and activity choices to decorating their room and taking special outings, we want each of our residents to feel like they always have a choice.
Encouraging Individuality
As every person is unique in their own right, the staff at The Village uses the Best Friends Approach to build a relationship with each individual resident; learning who they are and understanding their unique characteristics.
Building Strong Independence
We promote self-reliance in whatever ways are possible and comfortable for our residents. Designated care managers are trained to support our residents' choices whenever appropriate.
