St. Mary's Villa sits at 516 Saint Marys Villa Rd in Moscow, PA, and has served older adults since 1924 as a non-profit community tied to Covenant Health, so you see all kinds here, people who need help with daily life, folks who want a bit of independence, and those who need skilled nursing care, and you walk around and notice outdoor walking paths, gardens, and patios with connecting sidewalks, even a gazebo, which makes it feel a little more home-like and quiet. Residents use both Assisted Living and Independent Living areas, and those needing more help can join the Personal Care Residence or the Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, which has 112 beds and provides care for those recovering from surgery or illness, or people settling in for longer-term care. The Memory Care program looks after people living with dementia in secure and supervised spaces, and staff help with transfers, bathing, dressing, and other daily living activities, while the around-the-clock supervision can give some peace of mind, and there's medication management, lab work, pharmacy help, even IV therapy if someone needs it later on.
The variety of activities stands out, so you've got resident-run programs, community groups coming in, scheduled daily events like movie nights or music programs, arts, and fitness, and spiritual care is right on-site in their chapel or through outreach, including telehealth, counseling, and family support, never mind the small community events like food collections, Toys for Tots, and breakfast setups that bring everyone together. The main floor, called "Main Street," holds up to 64 residents, and there are rooms and apartments of different sizes, from single rooms to condos or luxury apartments and even rentals with washers, dryers, and some with patio or balcony spaces, though exact unit details and parking aren't always set out ahead of time.
Amenities are solid-private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, telephones, air conditioning, high-speed internet, Wi-Fi, furnished rooms, a hair salon, game rooms, movie theater, a fitness room, and a library, and the dining includes restaurant-style options right there, with snacks and nutritional care as needed. Residents can bring pets, and the region protects people from housing or job discrimination based on gender identity and orientation, which matters to a lot of families these days. The staff cover specialized health needs-dentistry, podiatry, optical care, O2/inhalation therapy, ultrasound, EKG, enteral nutrition, palliative and hospice care, rehab services including physical, speech, and occupational therapy, respite care, and palliative care. Transportation and parking come with some services, and housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning are available, which keep things easier. The leadership, like president Noelle Lyon-Kovaleski, LHNA, run outreach and keep programs active for residents, families, and staff, so whether someone needs expert nursing, memory care, or just a meal in good company, they can find a spot here, and the whole place tries to support independence, social time, and real relationships, even with everyday help close at hand.
