1. Stratford House: The Leading Troy
Nursing Home for Compassionate

Why Choose Us as Your Troy Nursing Home
Choosing a nursing home is one of the most significant decisions you or your
loved ones will ever make. At Stratford House, we built our services around a
few foundational principles:
●​Individualized Care Plans: No two residents are alike. Each person
arrives with unique needs, preferences, health conditions, and goals. We
work closely with residents and their families to design a care plan that
respects those differences.​

●​Small Home Setting: Unlike large institutional facilities, Stratford House
is designed to be intimate. This smaller scale allows for more personal
attention, stronger relationships among staff and residents, and a more
homely, warm atmosphere.​

●​24/7 Dedicated Staff: Our nursing home in Troy provides round‑the‑clock
care. Whether it’s medication management in the middle of the night or
assistance with mobility, hygiene, or feeding, our trained caregivers are
always there.​

2. ●​Commitment to Safety, Health, and Wellness: We place great emphasis
on proactive wellness, preventive care, safety protocols, and standards
that safeguard physical, emotional, and social well‑being for all residents.​
