Lackawanna Health and Rehabilitation Center sits in Olyphant, Pennsylvania, and has been around for about 50 years, offering a range of health and rehabilitation services for seniors and others who need care, and the place used to be called Lackawanna County Rehabilitation Center, so you might still hear that name sometimes, but now they go by Lackawanna Health and Rehabilitation Center with Mr. James Miller as the administrator, and the center holds a BBB rating of A+. The facility has 272 beds and is set up to handle skilled nursing, long-term care, assisted living, independent living, and memory care, so people can move between levels of care as their needs change, which lets them age right in place if they want. They've got programs for subacute rehab, stroke, neurological recovery, dementia memory care including a locked unit for safety, and hospice care, and their staff provides around-the-clock nursing support along with help for daily tasks, medication, meals, wound care, and other medical needs.
Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available every day, and outpatient therapy is offered for those who need it, plus there's specialized care for tracheostomy management, O2, nebulizer, CPAP, BiPAP therapies, along with diabetic, orthopedic, and oncology care, so they cover a lot of different conditions. Residents get nutritious meals cooked from quality ingredients, and the dining area aims to feel comfortable and home-like, while they also take part in activities to keep bodies and minds busy, including memory-focused programs, social gatherings, wellness events, and more, with both indoor and outdoor common areas, a fitness room, garden, library, beauty salon, computer center, gaming and wellness rooms, and group activities, making it easier to keep up with friends or find some quiet if needed. The community offers a maintenance-free lifestyle, housekeeping, and transportation for non-medical needs, and they help arrange outings and community-sponsored activities for residents who like to stay active.
Memory care residents have dedicated support and round-the-clock supervision, involving structured programs and memory-enhancing activities. Lackawanna Health and Rehabilitation Center also handles respite care, allowing folks to stay short-term so caregivers can get a break, and there's a temporary quarantine unit for non-vaccinated patients as an added measure of safety, with on-site Covid-19 vaccination available. Their clinical and wellness services focus on comfort, safety, and health, and they're set up to support people with a wide mix of needs.
