Golden LivingCenter - Tunkhannock

Golden LivingCenter - Tunkhannock sits on 30 Virginia Drive in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, and handles up to 124 residents in apartment or condominium-like units, and it's a skilled nursing facility that offers a large care community for seniors needing long-term care, assisted living, or rehabilitation. Staff maintain a safe and caring setting, and they're trained in dementia and Alzheimer's care, senior home care, and even Medicaid procedures. The team helps with showering, grooming, dressing, medication, and daily meals, and there are services for laundry, housekeeping, and transportation, plus they let residents bring dogs and cats if they want the comfort of pets. Community areas include a dining room, outdoor garden, and salon/barbershop, and residents join activities and art events or use medical equipment supplied on-site. Nurses, aides, and other staff can handle wound and stroke care, pain management, hearing and vision care, speech, physical, and occupational therapy, heart and dialysis needs, podiatry, dental, and diabetic meal needs, and people get specialized help for memory care, hospice, and respite situations. The care plans are detailed, covering meals and medication supervision, with staff available around the clock, and the facility stays clean and feels much like a renovated home with professional staff described as warm and compassionate. There are also counseling services for residents and families as well as psychiatric and psychoanalyst support, and licensed doctors handle general and specialized health needs. Golden LivingCenter - Tunkhannock is certified by Medicare and Medicaid since 1979, and it accepts Medicare for payment, with six reported deficiencies-five health standard and one health complaint-so while the staff focus on improving the quality of daily life and dignity for every resident, families know there's open oversight. Meals are nutritious, one or two daily, and help's always there for two-person transfers or medication support, with a strong aim to keep things safe, respectful, and as lively as possible for all.
