Washington Commons Personal Care Facility sits on a peaceful suburban street at 528 Dewey Ave in Bridgeville, PA, and offers several types of senior care, including assisted living, memory care for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, respite care for short stays, and hospice care. The community has 24-hour staff awake and available, a nurse on staff, visiting nurses and therapists like podiatrists, physical, occupational, or speech therapists who come by, and a doctor on call if needed, so help is always nearby, whether it's an emergency or someone just needs help getting from bed to a wheelchair or using the bathroom. The place has pleasant outdoor and indoor spaces, like fenced-in gardens and walking paths, large dining rooms, a library, activity and game rooms, and a wellness spa, along with rooms that range from private, semi-private, to triple with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, all air-conditioned and set up with cable TV, Wi-Fi, and telephone service, and there are common areas and reading rooms where residents can spend time together or quietly on their own.
Meals get taken care of every day, with three home-cooked options, including vegetarian and organic dishes, along with special diets for diabetes and other health conditions, so folks don't have to worry about planning, shopping, or cooking anymore. The staff also handles housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and linens, making life simpler and letting residents focus on things like group crafts, games, movie nights, music, and social programs designed to keep minds and bodies active, plus there's always a wellness schedule with fitness and activity sessions, animal therapy visits, and outings arranged for both recreation and spiritual needs with devotional services on and offsite. A beautician comes regularly, and there's a beauty shop, steam room, jacuzzi, and even a health area, so people can keep up with grooming and relax comfortably. Residents who need help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, using the toilet, or managing medication and diabetes care can get support from the staff, including help with mobility, two-person assisted transfers, incontinence care, and help for people who can't move around easily.
Transportation's available for errands and doctors' visits, though there's a fee for the rides, but the place is also near bus lines for those who get around on their own, and for folks who smoke, there's an outdoor smoking area. The building itself looks attractive and is easy to get around, with wheelchair-accessible showers and full tubs, and the grounds are well-kept and secure to reduce confusion and prevent wandering, especially in the memory care sections. The caregivers and staff aim to support independence for residents aged 55 and older in a warm, cheerful environment, adjusting the level of support as needs change so folks can stay in their familiar space even as they get older or need more help, and there are options for move-in support and arrangements for residents' families. Washington Commons Personal Care Facility accepts residents who mostly want light to medium care, but there are services for higher needs too, and all care gets provided per state license requirements, with licensing verified by Care.com, though it's always smart for families to double check details on their own when making decisions.
