Harmony House Manor Inc sits on 601 Lamberd Avenue in Johnstown, providing adult family home services through its licensed 84-bed personal care community, and while you'll find both personal care and a specialty Alzheimer's unit, meaning there's support for people with memory needs, the place has been locally owned by Neal and Sheila Harrison since 1990, and if you visit you'll see the facility offers assisted living for seniors who might need help with daily things like bathing, dressing, moving about, or taking medicine, while the nursing team gives 12 to 16-hour support daily and a 24-hour call button is around so help's never far off, and you'll notice the home gears itself toward active seniors who can look after themselves as well as those who need a bit more, providing home-cooked, balanced meals-up to three a day-plus snacks, with hot and cold drinks at every meal, and they don't just cook for the basics because you'll find options that consider food allergies and diabetes, and folks can eat with family and friends, hold birthday or holiday parties, or pick worship services.
Laundry, housekeeping, pharmacy delivery, and visiting doctors save trips out, so most things you need are close at hand, and cable TV, Wi-Fi, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnishings, and air conditioning add comfort to rooms, while common sitting areas and patios give space to gather or rest quietly, and there's a beauty salon in-house, along with places for walking, gardens to view, and organized outdoor activities plus arts, games, movies, music, and crafts, so people can join in if they wish. Families mention spacious living areas, a friendly style, but some say there's minimal staff to see and not always clear communication, and others point out the food, cleaning, or activities might not meet everyone's expectations, though the management says they're focused on giving care with dignity and comfort, and staff can help with things like diabetes, incontinence, and even non-ambulatory care for those who need help moving.
You'll see both independent and assisted living services, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, medical equipment on site, devotional activities, and transportation for trips or appointments, while the place accepts SSI for those on the second floor and sets its rates depending on how much care's required. There's a community feel with birthday celebrations, resident-run activities, library, cable TV, emergency alert systems, and move-in support, plus outdoor common spaces and walking paths. The business, set up as a corporation, got its license from the Pennsylvania Department of Health, opened its business file in 2017, but has actually cared for seniors since 1988, and folks find detailed guidance about living options, medical and legal help, and resources for other senior needs, all from a place that's always tried to work in harmony with families to care for loved ones.
