Ephrata Manor, located at 99 Bethany Rd in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, has served seniors since 1965 and sits in Ephrata Township, offering a non-profit, church-run setting that's welcoming to everyone, no matter their background or faith. The community includes independent living, personal care, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and memory care options for people needing different levels of support, and residents can choose apartments with one or two bedrooms, some with full kitchens, private patios, washers and dryers, and individually controlled heating and air conditioning. Some apartments are arranged as single-room units or private and semi-private rooms, and there are layouts called Type 'A' through 'F' that give a variety of space and features like spacious bedrooms, living and dining areas, and linen closets, and others may be part of apartment communities, condos, or townhomes, though exact details about outdoor spaces, internet, utilities, pets, and parking are limited.
There's a welcoming dining room where residents get fresh, dietitian-approved meals every day, and there are always snacks and drinks available, plus you can choose a table for two or eat together in a bigger group, and special diets are made if a doctor orders them, all watched over by dietary staff and a registered dietitian. There are housekeeping and laundry services, and people in Personal Care get help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and taking medicine, with caregiving staff always on-site. A full-time Registered Nurse is around for any medical needs, and the skilled nursing unit supports long-term and short-term care, including for those recovering from illness or surgery. There's also memory care for people with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, with extra help to reduce confusion and keep residents safe from wandering, and some people receive home care or hospice care as needed.
On top of that, Ephrata Manor has a chapel for spiritual support, a library, leisure center, private dining room for families, enclosed patio, gardens, and a quiet lounge, plus scheduled transportation takes residents to shopping, luncheons, or trips for staying connected to Ephrata and the local community. Activities help people stay active and social, from group exercise, weekly Wii sports, and daily social or educational gatherings to outings and faith-based programs. There's a hair salon, on-site banking, and interpreter services for those with limited English, and people can attend religious services if they want.
The management team includes an executive director, personal care administrator, director of nursing, and more department heads to help keep things organized, and residents get care from Registered Nurses and LPNs, as well as therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy, right on-site when prescribed by a doctor. With a focus on safety, there's a remote call system and access to other care levels if needs change, making it a pretty secure place to age-in-place with personal preferences. Ephrata Manor's payment plans include Private Pay, Medicare, and Medicaid, and monthly rent covers many amenities with no entrance fee or long lease, with the lowest daily rate listed at $360.00. The whole property holds up to 120 beds and offers a supportive community where seniors of all backgrounds can take part in a full range of care, meals, faith activities, and social programs, all in a simple, welcoming environment.
