Location

The senior living community is located in Erie, not Pittsburgh, providing a serene environment for its residents.

Availability

There is currently a waitlist for long-term care, indicating a high demand for the facility's services.

Accommodations

The facility offers both private and semi-private rooms, ensuring a range of living options to suit different preferences and needs.

Short-Term Stays

Short-term rehab services are available, with no waitlist for this particular service, allowing for a rotating door of admissions from hospital referrals and other sources.

Dining Experience

The dining situation is more restaurant-style, with four neighborhoods each having their own kitchenette. A main kitchen prepares two meal options, which are then served in the dining room or delivered to residents' rooms. An 'always available' menu offers additional choices for residents with different tastes or dietary requirements.

Staffing

Each unit is staffed with a half RN (with one RN covering two units), one LPN, and typically three aides, ensuring a comprehensive care team for residents. Additionally, two physicians and a nurse practitioner are available, with an extra nurse practitioner provided through the UnitedHealthcare Optum program for residents enrolled in that plan.

Safety Measures

While there are no pendants or wristbands for general use, call bells are installed in each room and bathroom for emergencies. For residents at risk of elopement, WanderGuard bands are used to alert staff if they approach elevators or stairwells.

Addressing Complaints

Residents can voice complaints through various channels, starting with the nursing supervisor for medical issues or the social worker for other matters. A grievance officer, who is the administrator, is also available for escalated concerns.

Family Communication

The facility communicates with families through multiple platforms, including a Facebook page and a quarterly newsletter called the 'Sarah Reeder.' For urgent announcements, a one-call system is used, and nursing and social work staff maintain individual communication for personal matters.
