Manchester Commons in Erie, Pennsylvania offers Independent Living, Assisted Living, and dedicated Memory Care, allowing residents to move between levels of support without leaving the community. The health team is equipped for respite stays, physical therapy, and short-term rehabilitation, with programming that addresses mild dementia conditions so residents with early cognitive changes receive targeted assistance.
On site, licensed nurses oversee daily medical needs, including stroke care follow-up, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and diabetic monitoring. Residents and their families can access continuing care planning and counseling, while in-house laundry and dry-cleaning ease day-to-day routines. Staff provide help with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting when these tasks become difficult, ensuring consistent support across Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care neighborhoods.
Accommodations range from apartments with wall-to-wall carpeting to suites near a shared fireplace, and every residence includes housekeeping services. Some units open to landscaped outdoor areas or are located close to the library and computer lounge, but not every accommodation features all of these options, so prospective residents should review specific layouts during a visit.
The dining program prepares three daily meals plus healthy snacks, with menus that include low-sodium, vegetarian, gluten-free, and other allergen-sensitive selections. Kosher choices are available on request, and nutrition staff coordinate with medical professionals to align meals with physician-ordered diets.
Residents may spend free time in the activity center or join peer-led clubs and community groups that meet on campus, offering structured ways to stay socially and mentally engaged without leaving the property.
