Cherish House

Cherish House, over on Liberty Street in Blanchard, PA, has its own way of doing things and doesn't sound like most care places you might hear about, since they use special names for their programs and rooms and even call their care services "Cherish House Liberty St." if you hear them talk about it. It's a residential care setting where elderly folks get help with daily life, the kind of place where you'll see long-term and short-term care given by staff, including assisted living, memory care, independent living, and home care options, all under one roof, and the staff stays on duty all day and night so there's always someone there if anything comes up, even helping people get from bed to wheelchair when they need that. Cherish House helps with diabetes by monitoring insulin, and they also provide support for things like incontinence and for folks who can't get around by themselves, which some people find useful so they can stay comfortable and healthy as they age. The meals come from chefs and meal planners who focus on good ingredients, and they stick to plans with vitamins and minerals to keep everyone well-fed, and you can find meal options worked out for people with different needs. You'll see plenty of spaces where people can sit and visit because they've got common areas inside for folks to gather and socialize, as they put a lot of focus on activities, both inside and offsite, to keep people moving and connecting with others. They offer things like quilting and sewing projects, which is kind of a special thing around Cherish House, and they've got all the tools, sewing notions, and interlinings you could want if crafts or diamond painting is your thing. When you look at the bedding and supplies there, they use well-known products like STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® Oxford Chambray, plus comfort items from their own Minky Collections for Spring 2023, fleece and flannel items for the 2023-2025 years, and various cotton collections listed by the season and year for those who appreciate good linens. You'll often see pet-friendly spaces, and everything's made with handicap accessibility in mind, so no one feels left out, plus there's Wi-Fi and high-speed internet if you want to stay connected or post pictures to keep up with family. They keep a respectful and friendly tone with residents, always making sure there's time for conversation, and the staff helps families stay in the loop with updates and pictures. Devotional activities happen, too, and there's always something going on for those who want to join in, so people aren't just sitting around unless that's what they want to do. Cherish House covers a lot of needs without fuss and tries to give everyone comfort and support while staying attentive to care and keeping folks active if they're able.
