Lytle's Personal Care Home sits in Markleysburg, Pennsylvania, close to the Maryland and Virginia borders, and it's a small place that takes up to 30 residents, which helps everyone get the attention they need. The facility offers private and semi-private rooms, including studio suites and one-bedroom apartments, with each room coming with a washer and dryer, flat screen TV, Wi-Fi, generous closet space, and emergency pull cords for safety, so folks don't have to worry about the basics. Every resident gets an individual care plan, and there's support for those needing help with dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes, or trouble getting around; trained aides help with bathing, moving, dressing, toileting, eating, and incontinence if needed, and there's always an on-site registered nurse along with routine physician visits, medication management, and health monitoring.
Pets are always welcome at Lytle's and the community keeps things lively with daily activities in shared areas - things like games, chess, arts and crafts, gardening in the greenhouse, yoga, religious services in the chapel, and group outings, plus there's a beauty shop, lounge, computer room, fitness center, and internet access, and a garden patio for quiet time. The kitchen staff and dietitian work on menus, including options for vegetarians, people with diabetes, or those who need dementia-friendly meals, and residents eat together in a shared dining room; staff can hand-feed if someone needs help. Laundry, housekeeping, and all maintenance are included, so no one has to worry about chores or repairs, and all basic utilities come with the room at no extra charge. There's transportation to medical appointments, on-site pharmacy, and moving help available, and staff will even go along on doctor visits if someone wants.
Families can trust that Lytle's follows Pennsylvania license #443910, so health and safety checks happen the way the state says, and the caregiver-to-resident ratios follow the rules as well. Residents can choose between independent living, personal care, assisted living, skilled nursing, home health care, memory care, or even adult day services, depending on what's needed. There's support for mental health and rehabilitation therapies too. Financial help is available for veterans and others who qualify, and payment can be made by check or credit card, but the exact costs aren't listed up front, and there's an entry fee with all-inclusive pricing. Lytle's Personal Care Home tries to offer a family-like place where folks can enjoy privacy or company as they choose, with plenty of help close by whenever it's needed.
