Orion Personal Care Residence sits on a peaceful seven-acre wooded property in a quiet suburban neighborhood at 2191 Ferguson Rd, Allison Park, PA, and has served senior adults in a small resident-centered home since 1995. The residence is a licensed and secured 25-bed facility that offers assisted living as well as memory care for older adults needing personal care or living with conditions like dementia or diabetes. Residents have a choice of semi-private, studio, or one-bedroom furnished rooms, all designed for comfort and safety, with handicap accessible bathrooms, safety rails, and a 24-hour call system for supervision. The inside has cozy sitting areas, a family-style dining room, memorabilia throughout the home to help with reminiscence, and engaging common spaces for social interaction. The outside features a large front lawn, a rear screen-in deck for visits and picnics, a secured courtyard, walking paths, and wooded acreage where residents can walk or enjoy fresh air.
Residents receive three nutritious home-cooked meals every day prepared by a food services coordinator and cooks trained in home-style cooking, and the menus are seasonal and made for senior adults, with alternative food and beverage choices at every meal and 24-hour snacks and drinks, plus special diets for diabetes or allergies. The staff assists with bathing, dressing, transfers, and non-ambulatory care, while also providing physical therapy and other healthcare services as needed. There's a focus on individualized attention-staff creates a family-like environment and encourages residents' independence through help that fits each person's needs and choices.
Orion's activity program covers socialization, reminiscence, relaxation, and both group and solo activities, addressing emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual needs, and offers community-sponsored events, movie nights, a well-stocked library, vibrant gardens, and opportunities for both structured and spontaneous experience. The home has a welcoming, warm setting made to feel safe, secure, and comfortable with modern amenities like air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and phone service, along with continuous staff support day and night.
