Mount Trexler Manor

Mount Trexler Manor sits as a residential treatment facility for adults and young adults who need help with mental health issues, addiction, and brain injuries, and while not every detail about it is easy to find, there's quite a lot that folks seem to know about the place from what's been shared over the years, so there's round-the-clock staff to help out, and people can get assistance with things like walking, reading, writing, medication, bathing, and dressing, which is a comfort for those feeling unsteady or needing a good bit of support each day. Licensed by the Department of Human Services and having space for 74 residents, Mount Trexler Manor provides different living options, from independent living and supported apartments to single and shared rooms in licensed personal care homes-there's even a cottage they say is state-of-the-art, and staff take pride in helping everyone feel safe and at home, with a Director of Wellness and Resident Assessment-Support Plans to keep things straight. Folks will find lots of regular activities - there's a library to grab a book, meeting lounges for chats, a merchandise store for personal needs, and even an indoor swimming pool for those who like a bit of exercise or fun, and every week is sprinkled with social and recreational events like dance classes, arts and crafts, cooking, mall trips, outdoor visits, swimming, snow tubing, movies, day trips to places like Philadelphia and Cape May, and even offsite BBQs or picnics, plus cultural days, group games, and live music. Meal planning is handled by chefs and meal planners who work to make meals both nutritious and tasty, and snacks are offered throughout the day, and folks with particular care needs-such as support for non-ambulatory, incontinence, diabetic care, memory care for dementia, and medication management-have those covered by trained aides and staff always around. The Manor understands faith, so there are Biblical teachings, worship services, a visiting chaplain, and easy trips to local faith centers for those who want that, while the community is pretty welcoming to families and friends, offering family-friendly gatherings, seasonal events, and even peer-led groups through the Mount Trexler Manor Resident Council. Some programs focus on personal development and skills, like the Prevocational Work Program, which helps with things like resumes and work shadowing, as well as connections to services like the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, and for those needing more structured mental health care, services include deep transcranial magnetic stimulation, psychiatric rehabilitation, peer support from staff with lived experience, and recovery support for addiction and co-occurring disorders, not forgetting ongoing support for veterans and folks with brain injuries. Housekeeping, laundry, medication help, and transportation to appointments are all offered, so daily worries like cleaning or getting to the doctor are taken care of, and home maintenance is included, too. Beyond all that, the place puts value on person-centered, holistic support, working alongside individuals and families, and uses Resident Assessment-Support Plans for care coordination, making sure everyone's benefits and supports stay in place, so someone looking needs to know there's a lot baked in for both structure and community, and this place came to be known over the last 30 years for keeping folks engaged and comfortable, without being too fancy or over-promising about things, just steady service day by day.
