I'm very pleased with the attentive staff, clean facility, tasty meals, and varied activities - my family feels well informed and reassured. It's warm and well-run with a few minor quirks, so I'd recommend it.

About Advanced Personal Care Home
Advanced Personal Care Home sits at 245 Center St in Clarksville, and it's a medium-sized assisted living facility with 39 licensed beds, focusing on comfort and safety for older adults needing advanced care, and folks will see how the staff get trained to deliver hands-on help, whether it's bathing, dressing, medication management, or just general daily tasks, because those daily needs can get harder as time goes on and people want to be comfortable while keeping some independence. Residents can pick from a range of studio room layouts, some with kitchenettes, and the rooms all come furnished, so moving's not too hard, and you get things like emergency alert systems right in the rooms. There's always nurse supervision, a 24-hour call system, and extra safety features for people using wheelchairs or needing non-ambulatory care, and the facility's regulated by the state, so there are certain standards in place for long-term care.
The property feels welcoming with its gardens and walking paths, and there's even a little library and some quiet outdoor spots, which folks often like for just sitting or socializing, and you do get community-sponsored activities like movie nights, arts and crafts in their arts room, and resident-run events, so no one's left with nothing to do. Residents also have access to a barber and salon on-site, scheduled housekeeping, laundry, and dining with meals prepared for all kinds of dietary needs, including diabetes and allergies, plus there's all-day dining which helps if somebody needs to eat at odd hours. Advanced Personal Care Home offers both assisted living and home care, as well as options for different types of care, like memory care, hospice, adult day services, and even skilled nursing if somebody needs long-term medical attention, and it works with local clinics like Southwest Regional Medical Center.
Families find some peace of mind knowing that each resident gets care designed for their own needs, from full supervision all the way to support for independent living, and everything's pretty well organized to keep things safe. Prices vary depending on care needs and room type, but there's no pricing shared publicly. The doors are open for appointments from 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Saturday, so families can look around and talk with staff, but folks should know Advanced Personal Care Home's BBB file was opened in April of 2019 and it's not BBB accredited at this time, so that's worth checking on too. The overall environment focuses on keeping residents comfortable, supported, and engaged with daily life, especially when it comes to health, safety, and personal needs.
People often ask...
Advanced Personal Care Home offers assisted living.
The full address for this community is 245 Center Street PO Box 5, Clarksville, PA 15322.
No, Advanced Personal Care Home does not offer respite care.
Respite care in assisted living communities provides temporary, short-term relief for primary caregivers by offering professional care for their loved ones. It allows individuals to stay in an assisted living community for a limited time, giving caregivers a break while ensuring residents receive necessary support and assistance with daily activities.
