North Strabane Retirement Village sits in a quiet borough of Washington County, right near the natural beauty of Peters Lake Park, and offers different living options for seniors, including independent living apartments with either one or two bedrooms, assisted living services, and dedicated memory care with its own secure section for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, which really helps people who might wander or need special care-there's even a bracelet system to ring alarms if someone tries to exit. Residents can have private or semi-private rooms, and they're allowed to keep cats and dogs with them if they choose, which a lot of folks really appreciate, and the rooms can be decorated with items from home to help make things familiar and comfortable. Meals get served restaurant-style in a main dining room, with private rooms for family celebrations or guests, and the kitchen offers special diets like low-sodium, low-sugar, and allergy-friendly meals, which is important for many seniors, and dining has won awards for taste and quality.
There are licensed nursing staff on-site all day and night, including registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) working with a Medical Director, plus other health professionals like dentists including Dr. Jason Strucola, therapists for physical, occupational, and speech needs, as well as visiting doctors and hospice providers; they help with wellness and medication programs, manage diabetes and insulin needs, give incontinence support, and are trained to assist with behaviors related to memory loss like wandering or confusion, even for residents who need standby lifts or mechanical help moving around. Care levels can change as needed, so residents who start out independent or just needing a bit of help can keep living there even if they need more care later.
The community has a lot of daily programs like art, gardening, music, movie nights, Wii bowling, trivia, trips into the community, devotional services both onsite and offsite, and resident-run activities, plus spaces like a game room, arts room, community garden, movie theater, business center, and even a library-family support services and respite care are part of the offerings too, if people need a short stay or families need help. There's move-in help, laundry and housekeeping, concierge services, and high-speed internet and cable TV in each room, so people can stay connected or watch their favorite shows. Seniors can take walks on outdoor paths, use the fitness or spa room, enjoy patios and gardens, or join structured group activities meant to help them stay social, active, and engaged-the activity director schedules ways for people to keep moving, learning, or just have company.
For those relying on transportation, the community provides scheduled rides and parking, and it sits in a calm spot which helps residents feel safe, especially with security systems for those who wander, and a 24-hour call and alert system so help's always close by. Staff are known for being friendly and helpful, and care is made to fit each resident's needs, from light supervision up to hands-on help with bathing, dressing, transfers, or medication. North Strabane Retirement Village is associated with Consulate Health Care and Consulate Retirement Village of North Strabane, both well-established in senior health services, and follows Pennsylvania's regulations for personal care homes and memory care, with 90 units ranging from independent apartments to more supportive rooms, and prices starting around $3,330 per month. The emphasis is really on safety, support, comfort, and a chance for residents to hang on to as much independence and enjoyment as they can, even as care needs change.
