Woodcrest Retirement Residence sits at 1502 Woodcrest Ave in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, and is a 59-unit affordable-subsidized community for people aged 55 or older, and this place is on the Felician Sisters campus and was fully renovated in 2008, getting a LEED Gold certification for energy efficiency, so it uses lots of insulation and smart daylighting. The residence gives seniors a choice-folks can pick independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or even home care, depending on their needs, and as those needs change, Woodcrest has options to provide the right support.
People living here get their own apartment with a fully-equipped kitchen, carpeted living and dining rooms, window treatments, and bathrooms with emergency pull cords connected straight to 911 dispatch, plus convenience bars in the toilets and showers to help with safety, and all rooms are made to be wheelchair friendly and have wheelchair-accessible showers, with wide corridors and handrails for easy movement. The building has elevators, a keyless entry system, and off-street parking, and there's 24-hour maintenance in case something goes wrong.
Inside, Woodcrest has lots of common areas like a lounge, media room, library, and a community room, and a hair salon on-site for easy beautician services. There's an exercise area, a craft room, a greenhouse, and landscaped patios that let residents relax or take walks outdoors, and the enclosed courtyards are good for getting some fresh air or letting a pet stretch its legs, since dogs and cats are allowed if they meet the weight limit. Staff provide chef-prepared meals with a focus on nutrition, and a full-time activity director lines up group exercise classes, arts and crafts, and special trips out for shopping or other fun. Van transportation is available for errands and outings, though there may be an extra cost, and transportation and resident parking are both offered.
Social life is a big part of things here, with on-site activities, off-site outings, and devotional activities happening both on and off the property-a little something for people who want to stay social or spiritual or just enjoy a sense of community. Residents can get support through on-site social services, management, and care staff for whatever level of care is needed. There's 24-hour maintenance for repairs, and safety is boosted with emergency cords in bathrooms and bedrooms. Folks can make use of the website, which has articles, videos, and definitions about senior care, and who knows, if they like, they can contact the staff through phone or online messages for more help or arrange a visit.
