Fritzingertown Senior Living Center is a place where residents can decorate with their own cherished possessions, and the staff works to create a friendly, family-like atmosphere that feels familiar and comfortable, which means folks can really feel at home. The community offers a range of care options, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, adult day care, home care, respite stays, and hospice care, and each option comes with its own level of support and supervision, so people can move between them as their needs change without having to leave the community. There are studio, one-bedroom, and semi-private rooms, and residents can choose furnished or unfurnished options, all set up with emergency call systems, private bathrooms, cable or satellite TV, and wheelchair-accessible showers or tubs, plus there's accessible parking and outdoor smoking areas for those who need them, and the center can even manage major behavior needs in its specialized dementia care unit.
The grounds have landscaped paths, scenic outdoor spaces, and several courtyards for relaxing or walking, while indoors there are spacious lounges, foyers, and dining rooms where residents gather for three chef-prepared meals each day, with an evening snack, and special menus for kosher or vegetarian diets, as well as diabetes management and meal assistance for those who need it. Staff-who include nurses, a doctor on call, and visiting therapists like a podiatrist, speech therapist, and physical therapist-offer help with medication, personal care, and activities of daily living, and are available 24 hours a day. Memory care has a secure area with a computerized alert system and uses technology like alarm bracelets for residents who might wander, plus there's cueing for daily routines and structured programs aimed at mental stimulation.
Residents have a full calendar of activities, social events, outings, exercise and fitness classes, and both onsite and offsite religious or devotional services, with transportation and parking available, and the van takes groups on trips to local attractions. The community has a beauty salon, barber, and laundry and housekeeping services, and physical and occupational therapy rooms equipped with tables, exercise gear, and medical supplies. The center welcomes visitors and provides diagnostic and laboratory services on site, making health care and wellness checks easy to manage, and offers annual assessments to adjust care plans as needed.
Personal care is set up in three levels, supporting independence as much as possible while offering assistance when it's time, and if needed, there's standby, one-person, or two-person transfers with lifts to help folks move safely, plus supervision for people with higher care needs like diabetes. Security is tight in the Alzheimer's and dementia section, but the approach in all areas is friendly and relaxed, with a focus on social connection and meaningful activity rather than just supervision. There are shared residential care homes for people who want a smaller, neighborhood feel with help for things like bathing and dressing, and the staff tries to keep their approach helpful and kind, supporting residents' dignity and comfort.
Special features include scheduled transportation, companion care for homebound seniors, choice of dining, on-site beauty services, and biweekly religious services, so people can keep up their routines and interests no matter what else is going on. Fritzingertown Senior Living Center serves the Luzerne, Carbon, and Schuylkill county areas and has earned awards for care quality and resident satisfaction, which comes from their mix of safety, flexibility, and a strong sense of community, making it a stable option for folks at different stages of aging, with a wide mix of services all in one location.
