Lock Haven Rehabilitation & Senior Living sits in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, right next to UPMC-Lock Haven Hospital, with a tunnel linking the two buildings to make hospital transfers simple for residents who need more care or just came out of the hospital, and folks have come through these doors for almost forty years now since it was Susque-View Home Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and now is part of Allaire Health Services. The facility has 146 certified beds, most days serving around 137 residents, and it's got nurses and clinical staff day and night, though the nurse turnover rate is higher than many places, sitting at about 63% last report, and each resident gets an average of 3.51 hours of nurse care each day. There are private suites, semi-private rooms, fully furnished spaces, private bathrooms, and a safe environment, especially for those with memory issues, because the place has areas set up to keep folks from wandering.
Folks here can find many options, whether they need skilled nursing, assisted living, independent living, subacute rehabilitation after a hospital stay, or even short-term respite and hospice care, and the facility offers specialized care like Cardiac Care, Dementia Care, Palliative Care, Renal and Respiratory Care, Wound Care, and orthopedic rehab, plus it's designed to help people recover well with programs aiming to keep them from going back to the hospital. The team here coordinates care with each person's healthcare providers, manages medication, and helps with things like bathing, mobility, and other daily activities at all times. People with diabetes get specific support, and there's a focus on making sure treatments match the doctor's order and the resident's wishes, though survey inspections have found some problems in the past, like failing to fully respect resident treatment choices or advance directive requests, plus there have been a number of citations, including infection control and pharmacy service issues, and overall federal standards are tracked.
Meal service is steady, with meals prepared for everyone and served in common dining areas or, if needed, in private rooms, and the dining space gets lots of daylight from a big atrium. The gardens and outdoor areas are landscaped and kept up for relaxation, while inside you get Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, laundry, computer labs, and regular housekeeping and linen services. There's a salon and barber available, and the calendar fills up with group exercise, entertainment, spiritual activities, and weekly religious services, plus frequent field trips and planned events to keep minds and bodies active and social.
Residents have access to organized transportation, whether for medical appointments or local trips, and a patient concierge is on hand around the clock. Safety is handled with an emergency response and 24-hour call system, plenty of supervision, and active help with mobility. The company running the facility, Allaire Health Services, is for-profit and privately held, and Lock Haven Rehabilitation & Senior Living accepts both Medicare and Medicaid along with other major insurance plans, aiming to offer a calm and supportive environment for seniors needing varying levels of care right in the same community where they may have spent much of their lives.
