Keystone Villa at Douglassville sits over on Ben Franklin Highway in Douglassville, PA, and you'll find it offers a mix of independent living, personal care, assisted living, and memory care, all in one spot, which makes it a continuing care retirement community where people don't have to move as their needs change, and it's part of an apartment community built in 2009 that's adjacent to another independent senior living facility, so folks can choose from studios or one-, two-, three-, and even four-bedroom apartments, and the apartments often have basics like their own cabinets, a microwave, a fridge, air conditioning, and an emergency call system, though not every detail, like what kind of parking or internet, is always listed out clearly. The grounds have well-kept courtyards and walking paths, plus a beauty salon, backyard patio, library, lounges, computer room, fireplace, and game and meeting rooms, not to mention a movie room and TV lounge, and there's a secured courtyard for memory care, all made for people who want to walk around, sit outside, or just find a peaceful spot, and there are both indoor and outdoor walking paths for getting some steps in even when the weather's bad.
Keystone Villa at Douglassville has staff that are trained to help, friendly to residents, and always around if you need them, and it offers services for housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, room service, guest meals, and both complimentary and paid transportation, and there's home care available onsite for those who need more than basic help, including therapy and special care, plus help with things like bathing, dressing, or taking medications, so seniors who want privacy or need more day-to-day help can find what fits. The kitchen crew serves up meals in a restaurant-style dining room, often focusing on healthy dishes with choices for people needing low-sodium or low-sugar diets, and they can handle special meal requests; sometimes there's guest meals or room service, too. There are clubs and activity programs, with games, arts and crafts, social dining, and regular events; folks can join reminiscence therapy, Montessori activities, or sensory-based programming if they want, and there's respite care for seniors who just need short-term help when family or caregivers need a break.
The community allows residents to bring pets, and it accepts people over 55, with religious services for Protestant, Catholic, or other beliefs, and there are chaplains who come and go for devotional services, both at the community and sometimes elsewhere, so folks who want a spiritual side have that option. The memory care here is laid out for seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia and offers secure spaces, individualized wellness strategies, routes for safe walking, and specialized caregivers, while the personal care and assisted living side is for those who need support to stay independent, right up to aging in place and hospice services. People will find laundry and transportation are made easy, and there's lots of group rooms and spots to spread out or meet up with others, all in a community that offers legal protections for the LGBTQ community and protects people from unfair eviction or discrimination over income source, orientation, or gender identity, in line with federal and local laws. Managed by Heritage Senior Living, the Keystone Villa at Douglassville Personal Care program keeps things pleasant and tries to make everyone feel welcome, with easy access to special care or just simple, homey living, focused on comfort, keeping up with hobbies, and having friends nearby, which a lot of folks appreciate as they get older.
