Laurel Terrace sits at 6329 Chambersburg Road in Fayetteville, PA, and only has space for eight residents, so people get to know each other and the staff pretty well in a small, home-like setting, with a focus on memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's and assisted living options too, and the caregivers there have special training with memory care and dementia, with a secured wing and safety features like non-slip floors and emergency pendants to prevent wandering and confusion, which can help families feel at ease. The rooms are all private suites or shared spaces, and come set up with air-conditioning, telephone, internet, cable, kitchenettes, and private bathrooms, and most folks like that housekeeping, laundry, cooking, and home maintenance are all taken care of, with all the utilities paid so nobody worries about bills piling up. They've got scheduled activities every day, like memory games, arts and crafts, computer classes, and even a library and walking paths, not to mention an outdoor garden and balconies for fresh air, and people use the dining room for meals that can be made for diabetes and special diets using organic ingredients.
The staff there handle all kinds of daily needs, including help with bathing, dressing, medication reminders or administration and storage, and managing personal care for things like transfers or health checks, plus care for those with Parkinson's or special health concerns, and they'll even coordinate with healthcare providers and handle routine health status assessments. For moving in, they help every step of the way and have shared neighborhood residences for folks needing a live-in caregiver to assist with daily living and support for things like cooking and cleaning, a set-up that many seniors and families find easier than a big facility, because with only eight units-eight for memory care and eight for assisted living-it doesn't feel crowded or overwhelming. There's scheduled transportation for doctor's appointments and outings, and family members get parking right on site when they visit, and folks living there can enjoy things like cable or satellite TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, a spacious library, and massage therapy for relaxation.
Laurel Terrace, with license number 332310, is affordable and accredited and tries to build a comfortable life for seniors needing long-term support, whether someone wants to stay active or needs extra memory care. The whole environment is made to reduce confusion and wandering, and there's always supervision day and night, plus a call system for any emergencies, which gives residents and families some peace of mind as folks settle in for maintenance-free living and let go of worries about day-to-day chores.
