Bendview Personal Care Home sits on Herman Road in Butler, PA, and offers care for seniors who want to live in a home-like setting, and you'll find they have both apartment-style and residential options, with room choices that include both private and shared bedrooms for up to 12 or 36 residents depending on needs. Residents get 24-hour supervision and help with day-to-day tasks like bathing, dressing, eating, getting around, and using the bathroom, plus medication management, which the staff provides in a caring manner. Housekeeping and laundry services come standard, and everyone gets one or two prepared meals a day, with special meals for people with dietary needs, like diabetes or food allergies, all eaten together in a spacious dining room designed for both meals and visiting. Meals are home-cooked, and help with mealtime and meal prep is part of the deal, and all-day dining and scheduled meals are both offered, which can be nice for people who need a little flexibility.
There's also personal help available, with bathing, transfers, and hygiene, and the staff steps in for more specialized needs, including memory care for people living with dementia or Alzheimer's, which includes a strong focus on safety to help prevent wandering and confusion. The facility's got both independent living services for people still active and in good health, and assisted living for those needing more help, and it's open to seniors starting at age 55 or 62, but most residents are over 65. For seniors who need temporary or short-term help, there's respite care, and for end-of-life support, hospice services are available, giving families peace of mind during tough times. Health and medical services are on site, and the home will coordinate care with outside providers, making sure appointments and therapy needs get met, plus they handle transportation to doctor visits, medical sessions, shopping trips, and local faith-based outings if someone needs to get out.
Daily life offers a lot of engagement, and people can join group activities, movie nights, exercise and music classes, creative programs, tabletop games, book room visits, outdoor walks, community events, and even animal therapy or music therapy, since the staff wants residents to stay active and connected. Facilities here include cable or satellite TV in rooms, Wi-Fi/high-speed internet, well-kept outdoor spaces, a Jacuzzi, sauna, garden, walking paths, communal living areas, a hair salon or mobile stylist, and emergency alert systems, plus parking and help with moving in.
Bendview Personal Care Home works with both federal and state programs, including Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act, to help pay for care, especially for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and they're licensed by Pennsylvania's Department of Social Services, so care meets state standards. Staff can give general pricing information, but no exact costs are listed, and usually, costs for this type of care run higher than standard health care, sometimes up to three times more, especially with extra services or memory care. There are business hours every day, with someone available to answer questions early mornings to early evenings, and they can connect families with local advisors to help find the right care, which can be useful when comparing different senior living options in the area.
You'll see they also have resources for diabetes care, mental health support under the Mental Health Parity Act, symptom checkers, a health library, legislative updates, and advocacy programs, so those who live here get both physical care and added help navigating health and life's challenges. The focus stays on safety, comfort, and making sure each resident gets what they need in a stable and welcoming place.
