Scranton Health Care Center sits on McCarthy Street in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and has room for 45 residents in a licensed nursing home owned by a for-profit corporation. The center offers skilled nursing care, long-term care, short-term rehabilitation, memory care, and assisted living, with help for people who rely on regular nursing services, including those with limited mobility. Staff provide personal care such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and help with moving around, and there's support for non-ambulatory residents too. Nurses and caregivers work around the clock with a 24-hour call system and supervision to make sure safety and health remain the main focus for those living here. Residents get a home-like atmosphere, and the team cares for them using a resident-centered approach, delivering services based on individual health and wellness needs. Scranton Health Care Center also has a Pre-registration Program for people planning rehab before surgery, and the rehab programs serve those needing to recover between a hospital stay and home.
Amenities include a furnished activities area for resident-run events, an arts and crafts room, a barber and salon, a laundry and housekeeping service, walking paths and garden spaces, and movie nights, plus outings in the community and group games like Wii bowling. Meals happen in a dining room, with special diets available for people with allergies or diabetes, and residents have phones in their rooms for added convenience. An emergency alert system is built in. The center operates all day and night, every day, and accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, though the exact costs aren't in the provided information. The facility forms part of Saber Healthcare Group and shares their approach of focusing first on the care of each resident to meet wellness goals. Although the center connects to a Continuing Care Retirement Community, it doesn't offer several housing options within the community itself, but does manage a range of specialized care functions across Pennsylvania. The setting stays small and intimate, giving the place a feeling of closeness and familiarity for folks who live there.
