Celebration Villa of Altoona sits in a quiet spot with green courtyards, garden beds, and a gazebo where residents like to spend time outdoors and visit with friends, and the building is easy to get around with spacious rooms, large windows, and options for studio, one-bedroom, and semi-private apartments, all with kitchenettes and private baths, so residents can feel comfortable and safe, and families like that you see fresh carpet and vinyl in bathrooms because it keeps things clean and easy to maintain. Nurses staff the community for 12-16 hours a day, and healthcare staff are around 24 hours, with a Health Care Director on call and supervision at all times, which brings peace of mind, and residents use emergency call systems in their rooms if they need quick help. People get help with everyday things like dressing, bathing, transfers, and medication, and the staff look after housekeeping, laundry, and linen changes, which lightens the load for everyone. Most meals and basic utilities come included, and there are special menus for people with diabetes or other dietary needs, and residents can eat in the community dining area, use room service if they want privacy, and families sometimes join in for a meal in the private dining room.
Many people here stay active with planned daily activities, outings to get ice cream, shopping trips, or even small day trips, and there's a gym, fitness equipment, and scheduled programs if you want gentler exercise or to join in group events, and those who enjoy games can play in the billiard room or socialize in the bistro and community library. The life enrichment team works to bring music therapy, gardening, arts and crafts, and pet therapy to the schedule, so there's variety, and the Along the Journey program offers personalized support for residents who need memory care, all within a secured Memory Care Neighborhood designed for those who live with Alzheimer's or dementia. There's a strong focus on mental wellness and companionship, which helps people feel connected, and the staff have a good reputation for kindness and being quick to answer questions, and people just seem to feel looked after. Transportation is available for doctor visits, errands, or community outings, and a community van and medical transport help residents get where they need to go, so most folks keep up with appointments without trouble.
The facility is pet friendly-though cats aren't allowed-and residents can take part in resident-run clubs, religious services on site, and community meals, all of which add up to a pretty social environment without being overwhelming. Celebration Villa of Altoona offers Assisted Living, Enhanced Personal Care, Respite Care for short stays, and Memory Care with special programs, so residents have a personalized plan that fits different needs, and all care follows state licensing requirements under license number 333730. The property has a full sprinkler system for safety, guest parking, and salon services available for a small fee if residents want a haircut or style, and move-in help is there to make things easier when someone first joins the community. Priority Life Care runs this place and membership in Hilarity for Charity (HFC) means they do pay attention to memory care. Most people say the place is clean, things run smoothly, and the staff work to keep a peaceful atmosphere where people feel respected and supported.
