Shenandoah Senior Living Community sits in Northern Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, and offers a wide range of care for older adults, so people can find what they need as they age, since it's the only Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) in the region, and folks can start in independent living while they're active and healthy and later move into personal care, long-term care, or skilled nursing, all without having to leave the community. The place has a 23-bed Personal Care facility for those needing assisted living help, and there's a larger 124-bed skilled nursing and rehabilitation center for short-term or long-term medical needs, including stroke rehabilitation, post-surgery care, wound care, orthopedic support, and help with intravenous medications, with around-the-clock nursing available and a focus on smooth transitions from one level of care to another.
Residents get daily meals, snacks, and help with bathing, dressing, and medication management, with laundry and housekeeping service and a choice between private or semi-private rooms, with TV and Wi-Fi, and in independent living suites there's a bath, shower, and kitchenette with a microwave, plus ongoing staff support for those who need it. Shenandoah also offers memory care for those living with Alzheimer's, as well as respite care to give family caregivers a break with short-term stays. Health care professionals run on-site lab and X-ray services and set up many kinds of therapy, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy, as well as cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, so people can recover from illness or surgery in a familiar setting. Folks can join in all kinds of group activities, like movie afternoons, music from local entertainers, arts and crafts, birthday and holiday parties, church services, and rides into town, and there's a beauty/barbershop and a library for quiet time or hobbies, and the facility stays clean and organized to support a home-like feeling. Discharge planning, pain management, and regular church services are also provided, so families know support systems are in place. Shenandoah connects with people online, offering Facebook, messaging, and photo sharing, along with a website for families who want more details.
