Amber Springs At Laurel Wood

Amber Springs at Laurel Wood Care Center sits in the 15905 zip code area and is part of Cambria County where older adults can find different care options whether they need assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, or independent living. The facility provides help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, grooming, using the bathroom, walking, medication management, and getting to appointments, and the staff can also help with meal preparation and mealtime assistance, so if someone needs more support it's available all day and night with caregivers on hand 24/7 and nurses available 12 to 16 hours a day, and a CRNP on-site. There are 100 assisted living units and the building holds licenses to serve up to 106 beds, with rooms that come as single bedrooms, small studios, shared spaces, all with private bathrooms, simple furniture, and accessible features for wheelchairs and walkers, and folks can even bring pets if they follow the rules. For memory support, the care team offers dementia-friendly menus and hands-on therapy for people with conditions like Parkinson's or those recovering from surgery, and there's a special 20-bed unit for cardiac and orthopedic rehab. The staff can set up physical, occupational, and speech therapy through different organizations, and residents can get help from outside specialists like podiatrists, dentists, audiologists, optometrists, psychiatrists, and psychologists if they need it. The community keeps residents busy with games, arts and crafts, gardening, religious services, fitness groups, educational speakers, lifelong learning classes, movie nights, and a choice of outings using the facility's transportation service, which also brings folks to medical visits, shopping, and social events. For meals, a chef prepares foods to meet many diets including for diabetes or allergies, served in a restaurant-style dining room, and staff help those who need support during meals. Housekeeping, laundry, apartment maintenance, and move-in coordination take care of chores, while amenities include a beauty salon, spa, cable TV, movie theater, computer center, fitness room, library, snack shop, wellness center, and outdoor spots like patios, walking paths, gardens, and shaded lawns. Amber Springs tries to help people stay independent as much as possible by making plans for each person, offering a Senior Life Contract, support for daily life routines, restorative programs to teach ambulation and social dining, and options for short-term or respite stays if family caregivers need a break. The place is fully licensed by the state of Pennsylvania, follows safety rules, and is affiliated with Grane Healthcare, and families can get support if their loved ones need skilled care, acute or subacute services, home health, outpatient rehab, or hospice. The environment is straightforward and focused on making sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, with personalized attention from a steady, attentive staff and plenty of ways to keep busy, whether someone enjoys activities with others or time outside in the gardens.
