American House Personal Care sits at 25 South 9th Street in downtown Lebanon, PA, right near hospitals, shops, and restaurants, and it's close to bus routes and all those things you need for daily life like grocery stores and pharmacies, and you'll find that it's a big place with room for about 74 residents, even though some listings note it cares for up to 48. Staff's there around the clock, ready to help with things like moving from bed to wheelchair, handing out medication, managing blood sugar for diabetes, helping folks with bathing, grooming, and getting dressed, and they've got nurses on staff for health checks and support, which matters especially for those needing extra personal or memory care, as they have dedicated Alzheimer's care and respite services. The place has its problems-there've been several state inspections by the Department of Human Services, details about violations, revoked and provisional licenses, and some ongoing issues, yet it keeps operating under Hotel Lebanon Corp doing business as American House Personal Care, so families should keep an eye on updates from the state.
Inside, residents have a choice of rooms with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, phones, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and regular housekeeping. There are lots of gathering spots like a community room, library, chapel, and even a woodworking shop. Meals come three times a day, with homemade dishes and options for different diets like allergies or diabetes; there's restaurant-style dining, and snacks or meals whenever, plus staff help with meal prep if needed. Activities fill up the week, with scheduled fitness programs, games, book rooms, music therapy, crafts, movie nights in a small theater, and pet therapy. Folks can also use spa areas, gardens, a hot tub, and outdoor walking paths, so you're not just stuck in your room, and there's a barber, salon, bank, and convenience store on the grounds. They organize transportation to the doctor, errands, or church, and handle laundry, dry cleaning, and move-ins. With indoor and outdoor spaces for socializing, garden visits, and plenty of daily and resident-run events, there's always something going on to keep minds busy and hands active.
For those who want to live more independently or need more care, the place covers a lot, offering assisted living, memory care, independent living, nursing home care, continuing care retirement options, long-term, respite, and home care services-plus help with moves between levels of support as needs change, and they say they can help make care plans personal. There's even cemetery and monument services connected to the site, which is less common, and they work with outside groups for things like VA Benefits, cost assistance, and financial advice, as budgets can be a concern. Emergency alert systems and a 24-hour call service aim to keep everyone safe throughout the day and night. Even with a history of state violations and shifting licenses, American House has remained a busy site for seniors needing various types of care, with all sorts of amenities and activities to make daily life a little easier and a little less lonely.
