A pioneer in long-term care, Bent Philipson has a keen eye for evolving healthcare trends, new regulations, and patient needs.

Bent Philipson has long focused on providing residents with innovative health programs, maintaining cutting-edge healthcare technology, and employing compassionate professionals that bring years of experience to their roles.
