About Serene Care Nursing Home

Welcome to Serene Care Nursing Home. For more than two decades, we have provided compassionate, professional care to older adults and those in need of skilled nursing services. Our commitment is to create a warm, safe, and dignified environment where residents are supported to live with comfort and purpose.

Our History

Serene Care was founded in 1999 by Margaret Ellis, a registered nurse with a vision to build a community-centered nursing home focused on respect and individualized care. Beginning as a small facility with 24 beds, Serene Care has grown steadily while preserving its founding values. Over the years we expanded our services to include short-term rehabilitation, long-term skilled nursing, memory care programming, and outpatient therapy. Our growth has always been guided by families, residents, and local health partners.

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote quality of life through compassionate, personalized care, clinical excellence, and strong partnerships with families and the community. We believe every resident deserves to be treated with empathy, dignity, and respect — and that care should support physical health as well as emotional and social well-being.

Serene Care is led by a multidisciplinary leadership team that blends clinical expertise with compassionate management:

• Margaret Ellis, RN — Founder & Executive Director
• Daniel Moreno, RN, MSN — Director of Nursing
• Sandra Lee, MBA — Administrator
• Dr. Aisha Khan, MD — Medical Director

• Listening to each resident’s life story and preferences.
• Creating individualized care plans co-developed with residents and families.

We also emphasize a homelike environment: nutritious meals, social programs, spiritual support, and access to nature and the outdoors when able.
