Mount Carmel Personal Care Community offers several living options for seniors, including independent living units, personal care homes, memory care, assisted living, and skilled nursing care, which means as people's needs change, they can move to different levels of care without leaving the community, and with their 119 beds and average census of 106 residents, it feels neither too crowded nor too quiet most of the time. Residents get support with daily activities like bathing, dressing, transfer assistance, medication management, and round-the-clock nursing care, and there's a team to help with both short-term rehab after surgery or illness and long-term support for those who need it, all with certified nursing beds that accept Medicare and Medicaid. The rooms are well-furnished and include telephones and either private or shared spaces, depending on what the resident chooses, and there are independent living units that have their own bath and kitchenette. Social life gets a boost from many planned activities, including arts and crafts, scheduled movie afternoons, festive holiday celebrations, theme parties, and even resident-run activities, while the activity department tries to keep everyone engaged. Group game opportunities, devotional events, and visits from local musicians add both rhythm and structure to each week.
Mount Carmel has a fitness center, walking paths, a garden, and an arts room, plus an on-site beauty salon and barber shop, so residents can spend their days relaxing or keeping busy, depending on how they feel. Meals are prepared under the guidance of nutritionists, and they serve options for groups or individuals, taking into account personal or medical dietary needs like allergies or diabetes, and residents can pay extra for meal service or cook on their own if they wish. The community also organizes transport, including through Giringan Life Flight 5 for special medical trips or emergencies, and offers outpatient rehabilitative services such as aquatic therapy, physical, speech, and occupational therapy to help people regain or maintain function at various levels.
The staff help with everything from medication to basic grooming, with a continual presence of nurses and aides, and although the nurse turnover rate is lower than state average at 37.1%, nurse hours per resident per day stand at 3.02, which falls a bit below typical state figures. Mount Carmel's annual inspection and regulatory reports show some trouble spots, like documented deficiencies in areas including infection control, honoring residents' rights, and providing care based on orders and preferences, and there's a total of 39 cited deficiencies with several tied specifically to infection prevention and resident quality of life, but the place tends to respond with corrective actions and ongoing infection control measures.
Ownership falls under Apostrophe Opco LLC, and individuals named David Gamzeh and Gabriel Sebbag play a management or ownership role. The community aims to respect each resident, encourage independence, and help maintain health, but challenges like staffing shortages and federal deficiencies always need careful attention. Mount Carmel Personal Care Community keeps daily routines simple, social, and structured, with residents treated with respect in an atmosphere that feels both homelike and practical, and while it's not perfect, it provides a broad array of support and services that fit a range of senior living needs.
