The Villages of Maple Heights sits right next to the Maple Heights Health & Rehab Center in Pennsylvania and follows all the rules the state sets for safety and care, and while the place can seem big with 301 beds, it breaks things down into 30 assisted living apartments and 29 secure personal care studios for people dealing with memory problems, and you'll find they have areas for both private and shared suites, with rooms coming furnished and including telephones, cable, Wi-Fi, and even kitchenettes. Residents have scheduled daily activities, including things they run themselves and community-sponsored events, which gives people a chance to stay active, take walks or garden, watch movies, get involved with arts and crafts in the arts room, or even just enjoy social times in the dining room, media room, or library, and those who want a haircut or a shave don't have far to go with a barber and salon on site. For meals, there's all-day dining with restaurant-style service, and they pay attention to special diets, covering allergies or diabetes, and staff prepare and serve meals so everyone gets what fits their health and taste.
The facility provides housekeeping, laundry, and move-in help, and people who need help getting in and out of bed, bathing, dressing, or managing medicine have staff available around the clock, with a 24-hour call system for emergencies. For people who have more serious health issues, there's a skilled nursing center offering cardiac care, ventilator and bariatric support, a special unit for memory care, a secure dementia unit, and even dialysis, plus on-site rehab therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, with both short-term and long-term stays possible, and even adult day care or hospice and respite care for those who need a break or end-of-life support. Residents who need help with their memory can take part in the Memory Care Neighborhood, where staff aim to make the days less stressful with familiar routines, and every effort's made to match care with each person's needs using the Progressive Approach to Home (PATH) to help people transition back home safely or stay out of the hospital.
The campus focuses on community living, and encourages connections through group activities, keeping safety as a top priority with emergency alert systems built into the place, and trained staff who know how to spot what's needed for both daily routines and more involved medical care so that families can count on personal support whether someone's just staying for a while or calling the place home for longer. People moving in can even use a pre-registration program to plan for recovery after surgery, which makes things easier if there's a stay needed after a hospital visit.
