Embassy of East Mountain, located at 101 E Mountain Blvd, Wilkes-Barre, PA, runs as a long-term care and skilled nursing facility with a recent ownership change within the past year, and it can care for up to 120 residents with certified beds in a community that's all about giving support to people who need some extra help-folks find services here like assisted living, memory care, short-term respite care, independent living, and adult day programs right alongside skilled nursing, where a team handles everything from daily tasks to more complex needs like subacute care, cardiac care, therapy, diabetes care, wound care, and even pulmonary, cardiac, and hospice care for those that need it. Embassy Healthcare Holdings, Inc. owns the facility directly, with involvement from others like 2020 Gsr Dynasty LLC, and while the nurse staffing is reported at 3.50 hours per resident per day, a bit under the state average, the facility focuses on safe, supervised areas to help keep folks safe from accidents, while also offering good oversight and respiratory support for those who need it.
The place keeps a close eye on medical support-there are certified pharmacy services, medication help, mental wellness programs, licensed pharmacists, and medical support from podiatry to occupational therapy, speech and physical therapy, IV care, nutrition care, orthopedic and renal care, and even wound care. There's a call system and 24-hour supervision for safety at all hours. Residents or guests using respite care or therapies get personal support for things like bathing, grooming, dressing, mobility, toileting, and medication, and each room comes with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, and all the basics like cable TV, telephone, wifi, and a computer center, plus housecleaning and linen services.
For daily living, the facility serves meals in restaurant-style dining rooms, where people can get special diets like diabetes-friendly meals or other nutrition needs, and there are also kitchenettes if folks want to do their own meal prep. There's a whole calendar of activities, from community-sponsored groups and resident-led get-togethers to trips out, arts and crafts, and education programs-plus a bunch of extras like a small library, beauty salon, fitness and gaming rooms, and outdoor gardens where people can relax or socialize any time they want. The property comes with guest parking, washers and dryers, lots of safety features like sprinkler systems, and full accessibility for those needing mobility support. Scheduled and on-demand transportation can help residents get to appointments or events, and those who want to join day programs or go on planned day trips have those options, too. The staff here are used to working with all kinds of needs, building a place that feels more like home and keeps comfort and privacy at the center, so whether someone lives here long term or is only there for short-term rehab or respite, they're able to get the care and support they need.
