Colonial Gardens Guest House sits in Butler, Pennsylvania, and it's a senior living facility for men aged 55 and older, with room for up to 114 residents. The place has a Colonial-style look and big gardens and patios for sitting or walking when the weather's nice, and there's a friendly feeling to the place with plenty of common areas indoors and outdoors where fellows can connect or spend time alone. Staff are available 24 hours a day, which comes in handy since the community offers a range of help, from assisted living to memory care for men with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, all the way to non-ambulatory and bowel incontinence care. Residents get support with everyday needs like bathing, dressing, bathroom help, medication management, and other personal care tasks, along with housekeeping, laundry, and even dry cleaning.
There's dining all day in a restaurant-style set up in the community dining room, serving three homemade meals every day, and if fellows need special diets, those are available too, so nobody's left out. Phone access and furnished rooms come with each suite, with options for studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and semi-private rooms. The activity schedule includes movie nights, resident-run events, music therapy, animal therapy, fitness programs, and daily activities to help everyone stay social and active, plus there's a library, walking paths, and a salon for those who like a trim.
The place helps arrange transport to doctor visits, errands, or spiritual services, and you'll find that pharmacies and medical offices are close by, which makes healthcare a bit simpler. There's an emergency alert system, awake staff all night, and move-in help to make settling in less stressful. Family members can ask questions and get help from the staff whenever needed. The setting is home-like, and there's help for men who use walkers or wheelchairs, or who need two people to assist them. Smoking is allowed in public areas outside and inside. Colonial Gardens Guest House takes private pay, long-term care insurance, veteran's benefits, social security, and offers different pricing based on needs, room style, or care level, with monthly prices starting around $3,000. The community is regulated by Pennsylvania's Department of Social Services.
