Serenity Care Old Forge sits at 246 S Main St, Old Forge, PA 18518, in a friendly neighborhood where folks find a safe and comfortable place to live as they age, and you'll notice the warm feeling right when you enter since the place has been remodeling with new furniture and paint, which makes it feel even more welcoming. The staff speaks English and is known for being professional and compassionate, treating everyone with the same respect and care they'd want for their own family, and a Director of Wellness oversees resident care. The community serves people who need help with daily life-maybe assisted living, independent living, memory care, or even skilled nursing or respite care for short stays. Residents can choose from semi-private or private suites, every one wheelchair accessible, with full bathrooms and emergency call systems, so safety's clearly a priority, and rooms come with telephones and other helpful amenities.
Activities fill each day, with choices like arts and crafts, cooking and book clubs, games, yoga, fitness classes, and morning stretches, plus there's always something happening whether it's a holiday party, movie night, a polka or magician visit, musical performances, or outings like shopping trips and casino nights, and people can join community activities, religious services, or resident-run events, or just enjoy indoor common rooms or the pretty outdoor garden. There's a dining room that offers three restaurant-style meals every day, including special diets like vegetarian, pureed, no-sugar, or low-salt, and healthy snacks are always on hand, so everyone finds something right for them, and guests are welcome for meals. The staff handles medication reminders and management, bathing and dressing help, and laundry and housekeeping every week, so life feels less rushed and chores don't get in the way of enjoying each day. Every resident has a care plan, and nurses help with health needs like diabetes support, incontinence care, or therapy services on-site, along with a pharmacy, and staff is trained to care for those living with dementia or complicated health diagnoses.
Serenity Care has a lively social calendar with games, community-sponsored activities, and events to keep people active and connected to their families and friends. There's guest parking and plenty of parking for residents, scheduled transportation for errands and medical appointments, and help for those who need to get to appointments off site, so mobility's not a worry. People can bring pets along, which makes for a nice home-like feeling, and there are communal areas like a TV room, dining spaces, and a garden for outdoor walks. The facility's got technology like an emergency alert system and internet for entertainment or connecting with relatives, and all the basics like laundry, linens, utilities, cable TV in common rooms, and phone service come with the place.
Folks who stay here say the environment's vibrant, social, and comfortable, and reviews show high marks for care and staff, with a 5-star rating from families and residents.
