Stone Brook Manor

Stone Brook Manor sits in North Huntingdon, PA, and offers a range of care including assisted living, independent living, nursing home care, home care, and memory care, with the dedicated Elizabeth Seton Memory Care Center on site, and the building feels like a home where residents can move freely, enjoy outdoor walking areas, and spend time in the Audubon Room watching wildlife through big windows; there's a dining room that looks out over landscaped grounds and residents get three home-cooked meals each day, with options for kosher or vegetarian diets, plus guest meals available if family comes to visit. Staff have a friendly way about them, and many have been there for years, providing personal care and helping with tasks like bathing, taking medicine, diabetes management, or incontinence care, offering reminders and standby help for those who need it, always working around the clock to respond to emergencies, with licensed nurses and physicians on call 24/7, and partnerships with dentists, dietitians, pharmacists, and podiatrists to keep everyone's health in check. People using wheelchairs find the whole community accessible and there are wheelchair-accessible showers; there are special programs for Alzheimer's and dementia care, including memory care dining, brain fitness activities (using Dakim), and safe enclosed courtyards, and residents at the memory center get structured schedules, devotional services on site, and even respite care when families need help. Folks can bring their cats or dogs, and there's a beautician on site for haircuts and barber services, with a beauty salon for both men and women, and resident parking or complimentary transportation makes going out for trips and errands easy, since organized outings and field trips happen often under the guidance of a full-time activities director. Meals are prepared by staff with a focus on nutrition and taste, and when residents don't want to worry about housework, there's laundry and dry cleaning for clothes and linens, rooms wired with cable, and lots of spaces for socializing like common rooms, an arts and crafts area, game night spaces, an exercise room, and places for devotional services, plus there's a resident musical group for those who like to play or listen to music. The staff helps with transfers, like moving from bed to wheelchair, and can deliver very personal care for most daily needs, but Stone Brook Manor prefers residents who need light care though they can support heavier needs with individualized plans, and for anyone needing hospice or respite care, those services are available too. While the facility doesn't allow indoor smoking, there are designated outdoor spots for smokers, and every unit and amenity-from full bathtubs to cozy sitting areas-keeps comfort and safety top of mind with a calm, fresh feel throughout.
