Melody Manor Personal Care Home sits at 413 N McKean St in Kittanning, PA, where folks find different living choices for seniors who might need a little help or enjoy doing things mostly on their own, and the place is licensed by the state so families know the rules are followed, and people say good things about it with a 4.7 rating out of 5 from a handful of reviews. The home's got single rooms, semi-private rooms, and studio apartments, plus a couple of two-bedroom options, and they let residents bring some pets if that's important, and people are welcome to bring their favorite things from home to decorate and make the space comfortable because having a place feel like home means something to most folks, and you'll find wheelchair accessible showers and even room service if you need it. Staff come around 24 hours a day for any emergencies or daily needs; they give help with bathing, dressing, medication, and even standby help for transfers from bed to chair, but residents still get to keep what independence they can. People who live here get all meals prepared for them with good nutrition in mind, and folks can eat together or have room service if that's what suits them, and guests are welcome to join residents at meal times.
The place has indoor and outdoor common areas so people can gather, walk, or relax, and amenities like a gym, recreation room, arts and crafts area, a whirlpool, and a piano for folks who enjoy music, and there's a library with books brought in monthly. Melody Manor has a full calendar with bingo, game nights, walks when the weather's good, movie nights, shopping trips, and a musical group for those who like to play or listen, and there's always help to keep linens clean, cut hair, and even laundry and dry-cleaning for clothes. Housekeeping and on-site maintenance are taken care of too, so people don't have to worry about chores piling up.
Healthcare services cover medication management, diabetic care including insulin injections, non-ambulatory care, incontinence care that expects residents to manage most needs themselves, and even hospice for end-of-life support, plus in-house skilled nursing and an onsite pharmacy, so a lot of daily and urgent needs get met without leaving the building. There's memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with special routines and activities to help reduce confusion and keep wandering at bay, and staff build personalized care plans for each resident. The community offers independent living for people who don't need much help but like being with others, and assisted living for those who need more hands-on care, with both types supporting hobbies and new interests.
There are daily activities and devotional services onsite and offsite, help with money matters like VA benefits and financial planning, and even transportation, with some rides provided free and some at a cost, plus spots for parking, even for guests who come to visit. People can do arts and crafts, join in with the resident musical group, enjoy the beauty salon twice a week, and use free high-speed WiFi and cable in their rooms for staying connected or entertained. Melody Manor has an all-inclusive price system but there are different fees for community, respite care, buy-in, and care needs, and families can pay with private pay, social security, veteran's benefits, and insurance. The staff look to help each person stay comfortable, supported, and safe, and residents can age in place as their needs shift over time, all while growing roots in a home-like place that aims to make life steadier and a bit brighter with company and care.
