Mason Manor sits over on 244 North Pike Road in Sarver, Pennsylvania, and it's got a small number of residents, no more than 14, so folks get to know each other and the caregivers listen better because of that. The place offers assisted living, memory care, home care, rehabilitation, independent living, and hospice, and they've also got some homes in the neighborhood like Tender Loving Care Plus, Lakewood Manor Personal Care, and Memory Meadows Personal Care Home, where residents are treated like family and staff help with things like getting dressed, bathing, taking medicine, and staying safe if they have memory trouble. There's always someone around-live-in caregivers for ones who need regular help, and staff to help those who need supervised support due to dementia or Alzheimer's, which does give peace of mind for folks who get confused or might wander.
Mason Manor feels homelike, with private and shared rooms, emergency call buttons, and the building's easy for wheelchairs to get through. The staff helps with laundry, cleaning, and offers one or two meals a day, but people get three homemade meals at the homes. Pets are allowed, if they're small, and families can visit anytime, day or night. Residents can use WiFi, cable, and private phone lines in their rooms, and there's scheduled rides for errands or doctor's visits and even local outings.
Amenities cover a lot, including a barber and beauty shop, laundry, library, walking paths, fishing lakes, gardens, outdoor patios, indoor and outdoor pools, and even a lap pool and aquatic center. There's an art studio, auditorium, clubhouse, computer lab, bistro, billiard room, clubhouse, sewing room, woodworking shop, game rooms, and a theatre, and wellness programs with a wellness center, plus exercise and music therapy. Craft programs and regular social nights help people stay busy, and there's a book room and Tuck Shop too. The staff can help manage diets for those with special needs like high blood pressure or diabetes.
Some residential care homes-like Gray S Creekside Manor-offer even more personalized help for seniors who want to stay active while getting all the care they need, and the culture there's friendly, with staff who enjoy helping and spend time making sure all residents feel included, which is nice, because sometimes all someone wants is a little company, some music, and maybe a card game after lunch in the afternoon sun.
