Donahoe Manor in Bedford, PA is licensed as a skilled nursing facility, so residents have access to 24-hour nursing oversight, help with activities of daily living, and ongoing monitoring of vital signs, wound care, and medication administration. Short-term respite stays are available for families who need a temporary care solution, and during those stays guests receive the same clinical attention as long-term residents.
The clinical team coordinates with each resident’s personal physician, hospital discharge planner, or family to keep care plans current and appropriate. Therapy services, lab work coordination, and regular health assessments are scheduled on site, reducing the need for outside appointments and helping residents stay as medically stable as possible.
Private and semi-private rooms are offered, and some have direct access to outdoor areas where residents can get fresh air without leaving the secured campus. Select units come with an in-room washer and dryer for added independence, while others rely on the facility’s laundry service. Wi-Fi is available throughout the building, but signal strength can vary, and not every accommodation includes all the listed features. Families can arrange for private gatherings in designated areas when advance notice is provided.
Daily meals are prepared in the community kitchen, and each menu is reviewed by a registered dietitian to meet clinical requirements and personal preferences. Residents receive three meals each day plus scheduled healthy snacks, and substitutions are available for therapeutic diets. Homemade options are standard, and staff members assist anyone who needs help with eating, portion control, or fluid intake.
Residents can spend free time in the activity center working on arts and crafts, reading in the library and computer lounge, or attending scheduled health and wellness programs. Organized clubs and small communities meet regularly for games, discussions, and social outings to local Bedford events, giving residents structured opportunities to stay engaged.
