Traditions of Hershey sits on the edge of Hershey, PA, and works as a senior living community that cares for older adults in many stages of aging, so you'll see independent living apartments for folks who still like to do things on their own, and you'll also see personal care apartments for those who need a bit more assistance with daily tasks, and there are also services for people with memory issues, like Alzheimer's or other kinds of dementia, where they arrange things to help calm confusion and prevent wandering, and there's even skilled nursing and therapy offered through programs like Fox Therapy if someone needs more medical care right on the campus. Residents live in comfortable, furnished rooms, and the common areas feel homelike, with fireplaces, indoor and outdoor seating, a TV lounge, piano, game room for billiards or cards, and even a library and computer room, so it's easy to find a quiet place or meet up with neighbors for a chat. The meals are available all day, served restaurant-style, and they cater to special diets, such as for those with diabetes or food allergies, and residents can ask for in-home meal service if they want more privacy.
Housekeeping and laundry, including dry cleaning, get handled for you, so residents don't need to fuss about chores, and those who need help with bathing, dressing, transfers, or managing medications get assistance from a caring staff, with someone available at any hour through an emergency alert and call system. For those who like being out and about, there's transportation and parking, including a shuttle for appointments or outings, and the walking paths and raised garden beds let folks enjoy fresh air, while the fitness center and aquatic facility give people space to exercise at their own pace. The place is pet-friendly, and the staff plans activities every day, like arts and crafts in the art room, movie nights in the theater room, social events in the cafe, music, religious services, and educational programs, so it's rare to have a dull day unless you want one, and the beauty salon and barber shop onsite means you can get a haircut without leaving the building.
Accessible features-like wheelchair showers and private dining rooms for family visits-make it easier for all residents to feel comfortable, and the move-in coordinators help new residents get settled when they arrive. Traditions of Hershey supports different languages, including English, Spanish, French, Chinese, and others, making things smoother for families of many backgrounds, and there's a choice of social media login options for staying in touch. The community's layout keeps things simple for folks who need more support, and the staff focuses on helping residents keep as much independence as is safe for them, with respite care and hospice services available as needed, and the overall atmosphere centers on comfort, safety, and plenty of ways to stay connected with the people around you. Managed by Heritage Senior Living, this place tries to make daily life easier, safer, and more enjoyable for seniors and their families, offering a variety of care options without making things feel too complicated.
