Willows Personal Care Home sits at 337 Frederick Street in Hanover, PA, right next to a park and not far from Hanover Square, which makes it feel peaceful and tucked away but still close to things folks may want. This care home offers both assisted living and memory care for seniors, and some residents use it for respite care when their families need a short break. The staff stays awake and on-site around the clock, with help available for anything from bathing and dressing to medication management, blood sugar checks, or just getting from place to place, even if someone has trouble walking or needs extra help moving. There's a doctor on call, visiting therapists including physical, occupational, and speech, and a dentist and podiatrist that stop by, making it helpful for residents who want to stay in one familiar place.
The place has private rooms and semi-private spaces, with monthly fees that start around $1500 for a shared space and about $1800 for a studio, with extra fees based on the level of care needed, which they explain up front. They accommodate both independent seniors and those who need daily help or memory care support, and they can even handle hospice services when needed. Folks as young as 50 can live here, and amenities include a hot tub, steam room or wellness space, reading rooms, game rooms, garden spots, and a beauty shop or barber for upkeep. Willows offers all sorts of scheduled programs like music therapy, pet visits, exercise, board games, and creative arts. There's meal service one or two times daily, and special diets for people with issues like diabetes or high blood pressure. The staff handles laundry, cleaning, and most chores, which takes a weight off residents.
Inside, residents can join movie nights, social events, or devotional services, and there's both indoor and outdoor space for groups to gather, plus a spot for outdoor smoking since that's allowed. For transport, there's some parking, rides to appointments, errands, and even faith services, with close bus lines nearby for those who use them. Folks who choose Willows can age in place, because the care changes as their needs change, and the facility keeps state licenses and meets Pennsylvania's health and safety rules. They allow for room choices, keeping things home-like and supportive, and have special programs for memory care, including activities meant to help with memory and specialized supervision all day and night. Housekeeping and laundry come standard, and each level of care has clearly listed fees. Residents get support with everyday tasks while having a chance to socialize, stay active, and live with needed care right on hand.
