As an innovative healthcare provider and community partner, we provide compassionate care and service to meet the needs of those who depend on us. We commit to excellence through adherence to high standards, disciplined leadership, and mutual respect for all.

We strive to be consistently recognized as the provider and employer of choice for skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and assisted living services in our community. As such, we will continue to dedicate resources toward system improvements and new program development in an effort to sustain our leadership role in the long-term care industry.

Dove Healthcare began business in early 1997 when the Center of Care was purchased from Eau Claire County. Built in 1982, the existing structure on Eau Claire's west side remained licensed as a 140 bed nursing home as Dove Healthcare began operations.

Within two years, Dove added the first of its affiliates, Orchard Hills Assisted Living. The 12 bed community based residential facility occupied an empty wing of the Dove Healthcare building. In 2000, the facility expanded into a second wing, adding 12 more beds. In 2005, Orchard Hills moved into an adjacent new 26 bed structure, leaving the previously occupied space open for growth at Dove Healthcare. Today, this vacated space houses The Suites as part of our Transitions short-term rehabilitation program. Dove Healthcare's license capacity increased to a 160 bed skilled nursing facility. Orchard Hills is now a 39 bed assisted living facility, having seen the last of its expansion in 2008.

In 2004, Dove Healthcare added another affiliate, Rutledge Home, a 92 bed nursing home in Chippewa Falls. Wissota Health and Regional Vent Center, a 135 bed skilled nursing facility, purchased as a third affliate in late 2005. In early 2007, Rutledge Home merged operations with Wissota Health. The merger allowed for more efficient operations at both Chippewa Falls facilities. Since then, Rutledge Home has been transitioned into a 31 bed assisted living facility with part of it's focus on Memory Care.

Through the years since Dove Healthcare's origination, it is clear our steady growth is a result of our consistent approach— defining what we do well, doing more of it as often as we can, and growing as our resources allow. Our intention is to be the choice provider and employer for what we do in our community.
