Forest Hills Personal Care Home sits on six peaceful acres in Sidman, Pennsylvania, surrounded by trees and wildlife, and has a quiet, homelike feeling that's bright and welcoming, with spacious patios, walking paths, and a wooded area where you'll often see deer wandering around, and the rooms are tidy, furnished, and big enough for family and friends to visit comfortably. The facility has 48 beds and provides care overseen by staff that keep to the state's caregiver-to-senior ratio, so you'll see people around to help when needed, and they offer a range of personal care services, memory care, assisted living, independent living, and even options for those needing nursing and hospice care, with special attention for veterans who qualify for Aid and Attendance benefits.
Daily life there means help is always around the clock for things like bathing, dressing, grooming, transfers, medication reminders, toileting, and hygiene, and the staff is there if you need someone to call for help or in an emergency, so there's always someone watching over with a security system in place. Meals are homemade and served three times a day in a dining room where you can eat with others, and there's all-day, restaurant-style dining if you feel like eating outside regular hours, plus there's support for any special dietary needs, too. Amenities include a well-stocked library, a cheerful arts room, on-site barber and salon services, and plenty of places to walk, sit, or join friends for daily activities, resident-run clubs, and community events, so there's always something to do if you want.
Physical therapy, occupational therapy, and physician care are available, and Forest Hills helps with transportation to appointments, which can be a relief if you don't want to worry about getting out in all weather. They manage laundry and daily housekeeping, which means most chores are taken care of, letting residents focus on things they enjoy, and rooms come with telephones and emergency alert systems for safety. Furnished communal spaces and gardens let people gather, and the environment is made to feel warm and inviting, with an aim to support each person's independence while providing supervision and care. Forest Hills Personal Care Home isn't BBB accredited, but it is licensed, and that can be verified through Care.com, though it's a good idea to confirm details directly. The business is managed by Ms. Christine Weaver and serves people from Cambria, Blair, Somerset, and Indiana counties, and if you need help moving in and settling, there's coordination service to make that easier. Forest Hills is a straightforward, supportive place that tries to meet a wide range of needs in a quiet country setting.
