Chipipe Villa is a business operated by Dana Racinskas, a U.S. Geriatrics Nurse Practitioner. Our primary goal is to enhance living for seniors or those needing continued medical assistance in a region where none really exists.
As we live, changes in our life may push you to the possible decision of going back “home”, just because one finds themselves alone or physically unable to live alone currently. Death of a spouse or a medical illness or injury are good examples.
Our residential provision, Chipipe Villa, is in a beautiful private group home with a resort/retreat feel priced at a fraction of the price of Assisted Living in North America with many more amenities and services. This homey alternative has private suites with sitting area and bath for each resident. Here you will have an all inclusive care model. Here at our Villa there is a pool, spa, and ample space inside and outside to lounge or participate with a number of stimulating activities. Care levels range from minimum assistance, moderate assistance to complete care (nursing home type).
