Haskins House

Haskins House sits in a quiet neighborhood in Clifton Heights and has room for twenty-two people, so it feels more relaxed and homelike than most big places, and you'll see it's easy to get to know folks here, maybe even over one of the three home-cooked meals served in a spacious dining room with restaurant-style service, or out in the fenced yard where the garden is kept tidy and safe if anyone wants to stroll or sit for a bit. Folks who live here get help with whatever daily tasks are needed-bathing, dressing, moving around, taking medicine-since there's always trained staff around and a 24-hour call system in case you need someone right away, and some people might just like a bit of help now and then while others benefit from full support, including wheelchair access and memory care or behavioral health services when it's needed, so everyone gets the kind of care that fits them. The facility handles medication management and nutrition, with special attention for residents who need diabetes diets or who have food allergies, and since meals are made daily, there's always something fresh, with both all-day and restaurant-style dining options that suit different preferences, while rooms-studio or shared-come already furnished, each with cable, phone, and Wi-Fi, and there's always a spot in the common rooms or in the little libraries for reading, relaxing, or joining in a resident-run activity or organized game. Haskins House encourages folks to stay active, whether by joining devotional activities, movie nights, arts programs, or just spending time outdoors with friends, and sometimes, the community itself sets up special events or lets residents take the lead with their own groups. This place also offers transportation for appointments and errands, and move-in coordination so settling in goes a little smoother, and if someone only needs a short stay-maybe for respite care or recovery-they can arrange that, too. Residents can get haircuts at the on-site beauty salon, and there's Wi-Fi throughout, making it easier to connect with family or just browse the internet. It's a personal care home with skilled nursing available and options to support those who prefer independent living but want help nearby, and with daily supervision and help for all kinds of needs-big and small-it aims to create a safe, supportive environment where each person's independence is respected. Haskins House holds a community review score of 7 out of 10 and ranks first among assisted living communities in Secane, though overall it stands in the middle range for Pennsylvania.
