Golden Heights Personal Care is a doctor-owned assisted living and personal care home in a convenient neighborhood, close to Forbes Regional Hospital and East Suburban OB/GYN Associates, and the people here are at least 55 years old, with the place running for 26 years under Mr. Walter Beam, Owner, and Ms. Geneann Konecny, Administrator. The staff is awake 24 hours a day, with options for constant supervision and a 12-16 hour nursing care shift, plus there's an emergency call system in place. Residents get help with things like bathing, dressing, moving from the bed to a wheelchair, and taking daily medications, though if someone needs insulin shots, the staff can't provide those injections, and residents with incontinence need to handle their own care. There is standby assistance for transfers, diabetic care, blood sugar checks, and medication management, including certified medication passers, and families are welcome to be involved in activities and care whenever they want.
Meals get made with special attention-there's a scenic dining area, restaurant-style options, chef-prepared food, all-day dining, and menus that work for allergies and diabetes, and the staff always keeps things clean. All rooms have private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, telephones, Wi-Fi, and are furnished for comfort, and some spaces are set up to help those with mobility limitations, so non-ambulatory care is an option. The common areas like the movie theater, activity and game rooms, library, and community theater give folks a place to gather, talk, and watch something together, while outdoor spots like walking paths and gardens offer fresh air when the mood strikes, plus there's a beauty salon and barbershop for those who want it.
Staff can help with large and small daily needs, providing personalized care around the clock, and they are trained to offer memory care for residents with Alzheimer's or dementia, and there's an option for the more independent folks, too, who just want a hassle-free place to live and socialize. Onsite therapy is available, and hospice and respite care give people support if they need it, even for short-term stays, while helpers keep up with housekeeping, laundry, transportation, parking, move-in planning, and support for families. Activities are a priority, so there's always something to do-movie nights, arts and music, outdoor fun, and community-sponsored programs-whether you want to exercise in the fitness room, join a devotional service off-site, or garden out back.
The staff is known for being cheerful, compassionate, and easy to talk to, and there's a sense of open communication between everyone, which helps keep the peace for residents and their families. The focus is on doing everyday things comfortably and safely, while giving each resident the right amount of help without making a fuss about it. Golden Heights Personal Care doesn't have BBB accreditation, but has a reputation for providing for seniors who want assistance with daily life, medication, meals, and activities, all in a modern, well-kept space with good company.
