The Villages of Harmon House sits in Mount Pleasant, PA, right next to Harmon House Health & Rehab Center, on grounds centered around a historic mansion from 1900, so there's always a bit of history around. This assisted living community has 49 apartments, including 6 suites, and it provides several types of care, such as assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care, and even short-term respite stays for seniors needing extra support for a while. They've put together personalized services for people who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or managing medicines, along with room features like wheelchair accessible showers, air conditioning, cable TV and Wi-Fi.
Folks living here get housekeeping, laundry, linen services, and maintenance, so most chores get taken care of. For meals, residents find a dining room with restaurant-style dining, daily meal preparation and service, and choices that can be vegetarian, organic, kosher, gluten-free, or low/no sodium, and sometimes they allow guest meals if a friend or family member shows up. There's a library if someone likes to read, a chapel for religious services, a beauty salon, and both a media room and activity room for movies or group events. People can spend time outside, since there's green space around, and the campus makes space for resident parking and offers transportation, though transportation costs extra.
They run several healthcare programs with a focus on both physical and emotional health, offering care for those who need it, including incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, diabetic care, and medication management, all backed by healthcare staff. The home also provides skilled nursing care for those who need things like cardiac monitoring, pain management, pulmonary care, and post-surgical care, which gets handled through the Harmon House Health & Rehab Center. There's a memory care service for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with therapies and an environment meant to reduce confusion and wandering. Their Progressive Approach to Home (PATH) uses an evidence-based medical model to help folks recover safely and quickly and reduce trips back to the hospital. They've even got something called a Preregistration Program for planning ahead before a surgery, which seems good for peace of mind. The building is wheelchair accessible, so getting around should be easier for anyone with mobility needs.
The Villages of Harmon House doesn't try to feel fancy but works to make life easier and safer for seniors, with staff aiming to give everyone a good mix of independence, care, and comfort, depending on what each person needs.
