Susan Dowhower Personal Care Home sits in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, offering assisted living for seniors in a medium-sized community with space for 36 residents, and folks can choose their studio room layouts, or at times consider one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments depending on availability and needs. The home provides a community-style environment with around-the-clock staff who help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and even moving from bed to wheelchair, so families don't need to worry about safety or comfort throughout the day and night, and housekeeping and laundry services keep things tidy and easy. Nutritious meals are prepared by trained staff, with one or two meals served each day and support for special diets, like for diabetes or food allergies, plus the dining room has a restaurant-style setup where everyone eats together, though options for all-day dining are available.
Residents find a homelike setting with indoor social spaces, a library, a furnished common area, and walking paths outside where they can get some fresh air, while amenities such as a barber, hair salon, and garden add comfort and variety to daily life without being over the top. The staff, known for being kind and helpful, make sure everyone gets the care that fits their personal needs, including incontinence and diabetic care, and they're always on hand to help in case of emergencies, thanks to an emergency alert system throughout the home. The community designs activities to keep people active and connected, with regular entertainment like movie nights, music and arts programs, animal therapy, and even trips outside when possible, all helping to support social interaction and healthy routines among residents.
Susan Dowhower Personal Care Home also supports those with memory loss, offering memory care programs and safety features built right in, and for those needing independent living or extra support, services can be arranged including transportation to appointments or religious gatherings, plus routines for medication and health management. The pricing structure reflects the amount of care needed, with separate fees and payment options including private pay, social security, veteran's benefits, and commercial insurance, so families can make informed decisions based on their situation. While the home focuses on keeping a simple, comfortable, and supportive atmosphere, it also ensures everyone has access to group activities, wellness programs, and individualized daily plans managed by trained staff who focus on resident dignity, safety, and everyday comfort.
