Pittston Manor

Pittston Manor sits in Pittston, Pennsylvania, right on Route 11, making it easy for visitors and emergency help to get there, and the place is three stories tall with about 15,000 square feet, holding up to 55 beds for people aged 55 and older. Folks staying here can get many kinds of care, like assisted living, memory care, independent living, and they've got options for respite or short-term stays, with staff ready to help 24 hours a day, including nurses on site and a doctor on call. They have laundry and housekeeping services, plus homecare aides who come in to help with things like companionship or non-medical care, and in the rooms, residents find wheelchair-accessible showers, full bath tubs, accessible layouts, and features made to help folks with different needs. Meals are cooked on site-usually one or two daily-with choices for special diets and gluten-free needs, and chefs and meal planners try to keep meals nutritious, and friends and family can pull up a chair to dine with the residents. The Manor does a lot for those needing help, offering medication reminders, help moving around, diabetic care, incontinence care, and assistance for folks who can't get up on their own, and they'll remind and help residents use the restroom if needed, no matter how much or little help's required, from light care to heavy care. They bring in visiting podiatrists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists, so people who need therapy services don't have to travel far, and the on-site Heavenly Manor unit offers extra support for those needing more assistance, and hospice care is available too. The community has indoor spots for chatting and group activities and also outdoor areas where folks can sit, smoke if they want to, or just enjoy the fresh air, and it's close to bus lines and parking is easy, with transportation for outings or doctor appointments when needed. Pittston Manor stays busy with social, educational, and religious activities, like structured programs, monthly visits from a Catholic priest, weekly rosary, weekly communion, and plenty of trips out to places like Knobels Grove, nearby lakes, or amusement parks. For veterans, the Manor helps with VA benefits such as Aid and Attendance for long-term care, and they welcome both men and women. Subsidized housing is available, and the staff, small and dedicated-about 12 in all-work to keep things comfortable and safe, aiming for independence where possible. Relatives and friends can visit often, and there's a sense here that staff take the time to really get to know what each person needs, offering counseling, therapy tools, and a good mix of activities, from meals to recreational events. Pittston Manor has built up a strong reputation over time, being well-established, and they say their caring environment is all about health, independence, and helping seniors enjoy their days with some peace of mind.
