Oakwood Terrace in Moosic, Pennsylvania, has been serving seniors since 1996 and offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and adult day care all under one roof, which is one single-story building so no one needs to worry about stairs or elevators. The staff help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and they're trained to help folks dealing with Alzheimer's, dementia, or mild memory loss, and they see the person for more than just their symptoms, trying to support independence and a sense of purpose. There are both private and companion rooms, each with cable TV, Wi-Fi, a kitchenette, air conditioning, telephone, and a private bathroom if you choose, and some rooms come furnished if that's needed. The place is gated with security cameras, has a fenced outdoor area large enough for walking and gardens, and offers safety features like emergency call systems, fire and smoke detection, and wander guard bracelets for those who might be at risk of wandering.
Residents get support twenty-four hours a day, either from a nurse or helpful staff, and regular visits from specialists like a podiatrist, dentist, therapist, or even a psychiatrist, with both RN and LPN care offered. They run daily housekeeping, provide linens, laundry, trash, and snow removal, and test for things like diabetes, do lab work, and provide EKGs and X-rays right on site. Meals get served three times a day in a restaurant-style dining room, and there's a chef who tries to make meals that fit everyone's health needs, including for allergies or diabetes. Folks enjoy a library, a movie theater, an activity and arts room, and spaces for music, fitness, and even a spa or wellness room, plus outdoor programs in gardens or along walking paths, so there's always something to do or somewhere to be.
Oakwood Terrace has a packed calendar with fitness classes, educational programs, casual gatherings, movie nights, and trips out, plus lots of community and resident-run events to help everyone make friends and avoid feeling lonely. There's a full-time activities director, move-in help, transportation to appointments, devotional services, beautician and barber shop, and free parking. They encourage social life and privacy in equal measure, trying for a home-like, family feeling while keeping folks safe and giving them space. Oakwood Terrace uses Eldermark Assisted Living Software™ and ALMSA eMAR to keep up with medications properly, and the staff go for awareness and acceptance when someone's living with memory loss, believing that getting older means getting better in its own way.
