LECOM Senior Living Center sits at the heart of the LECOM Health system, covering almost every kind of care older adults might need, from independent and assisted living to skilled nursing and hospice. The building has five stories and 151,000 square feet, with 138 private rooms grouped in neighborhoods of 18, each with its own bathroom and designed to feel like home, and there are spaces for daily activities, family lounge areas, and a restaurant on site. The center keeps things quiet and private, with specially made, hypoallergenic rooms, overhead lifts for safer bathing, convertible love seats, personal vanities, lift chairs, and flatscreen televisions in every room.
Residents can walk indoors to Millcreek Community Hospital through a corridor, and the facility stays connected to the rest of the healthcare campus, including the LECOM Institute for Successful Aging. There's staff on-site 24 hours a day, with a security team and concierge always around, and computer stations and Wi-Fi throughout the building keep everyone connected. The center offers amenities like a full-service pharmacy, beauty salon, spa, communal dining and activity areas on every floor, a therapy gym for rehabilitation, and a heated sidewalk entrance to reduce falls in winter.
LECOM Senior Living Center has a wide network of programs and clinics, including geriatric outpatient care, memory care through the LECOM Center for Memory Impairment and Neurocognitive Disorders, and advanced wound care. It works alongside providers in geriatrics, neurology, endocrinology, and podiatric surgery. There's a Visiting Nurses Association, adult day services at Village Square, memory care neighborhoods, independent senior living options, therapy programs like HERO and LECOM LIGHT, and a health library for residents who want to learn more about their health.
The center supports people who need long-term stay, post-surgery rehabilitation, or short-term transitional care while also offering Memory Care, Home Care, Home Health Care, Adult Day Services, and many more options. Physicians, nurses, and therapists handle emergencies and therapies around the clock, and the building can run full skilled nursing services with its emergency generator during power outages. LECOM Senior Living Center also helps people with outpatient care, behavioral health needs, cardiac ICU, burn care, hospice, family support services, and learning centers for recovery.
Residents can expect community resources, a patient portal for easy updates, onsite clinical pharmacists for medication management, and social activities to keep everyone involved. The center's whole design promotes independence, compassion, comfort, and safety, keeping residents close to medical services while helping lower healthcare costs whenever possible.
