Paulauskas Country Care Personal Care Home sits at 708 Milliron Road in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and serves as a small, comfortable place for up to 8 seniors who need either assisted living or memory care, with a Pennsylvania license number 423710. The home has dementia-trained staff and licensed nurses with experience in Alzheimer's care, which means they understand the special needs of people with memory loss and Parkinson's disease, and they also work with residents who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, eating, or moving around the house. You'll find single bedrooms, studios, and shared living spaces, along with features like private and semi-private rooms that can be furnished, and the rooms often use color-coding to help residents remember where they're going from one day to the next. Everyone gets individual meal planning, and the kitchen can do special diets for things like diabetes or allergies, and there are snacks available between meals, plus help during mealtimes for those who need it.
The staff is friendly and offers care day and night, helping with medication, incontinence, laundry, and even dry cleaning, and there's a nurse on staff plus scheduled doctor checkups so families don't have to worry about basic health matters. The care plans are made to help residents hold onto their independence as much as possible, and there are activities to keep minds and bodies busy-things like brain games, arts and crafts, movie nights, scheduled walks, and even therapy programs. The home watches over residents with monitored exits, alarm systems, emergency pendants, and call buttons, while transportation is ready for doctor visits, errands, or special outings, and there's also help with moving in or out if people need that.
The place is pet friendly and has amenities like a private dining room, a bistro, a barbershop, a little library, a computer area, a reading nook, a garden, walking paths, chapel services, and a theatre, plus there's a community dining hall where everyone can eat together. Residents often celebrate birthdays, and there are classes and events to help folks meet each other, which can make things feel less lonely. The staff helps with all types of personal care: dressing, getting in and out of bed, spoon feeding, and more, and they do all this while making sure to coordinate with healthcare providers, schedule checkups, and keep up with rehabilitation needs for anyone who could use them, like people recovering from illness, or those who want to keep their strength up. Family members can also take part in support programs so everyone feels included, and respite or hospice care might be available under certain circumstances. With only 8 units in a cozy, home-like setting, Paulauskas Country Care Personal Care Home offers a simple, close-knit option for seniors who need reliable, steady help with everyday life in the 15767 zip code area of Jefferson County.
