The Villages of Maple Heights in Ebensburg delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, including support for residents with advanced dementia. The community is equipped to manage wandering behaviors in the morning or evening, elopement risks, challenging behaviors, nighttime wakefulness, wound care, oxygen therapy, specialized diets, residents younger than 60, and all levels of diabetic management—oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin.
Residents receive care from an RN or LPN on staff, with a nurse available by phone around the clock. All team members undergo background checks, and an awake night shift monitors residents continuously. Safety measures include 24-hour staffed security, fenced outdoor areas, door alarms, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. On-site podiatry and dialysis services minimize the need for outside appointments. The community offers some physical assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and can handle transfers ranging from walker or wheelchair support to one-person assists and bed-bound care.
Apartment layouts vary. Some suites include a private bathroom, kitchenette, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate; not every unit contains every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided for all residents.
Meals follow a set menu prepared to meet clinical guidelines, with snacks always available. Residents may dine in a private dining room, take meals in their apartments, or eat in the main dining area. Dietary accommodations include gluten-free options, vegetarian dishes, mechanical-chopped or puréed textures, and thickened liquids.
Shared amenities feature wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, internet access, and communal gardens. Transportation is arranged for medical appointments and local outings on a scheduled basis.
