Milestone Inc at 626 Easton Road in Glenside provides assisted-living services designed around daily medical oversight. Licensed nurses are available around the clock to monitor vital signs, coordinate physician orders, manage medications and arrange on-site lab work when needed. Caregivers help residents with bathing, dressing, mobility support and continence management, and they document each encounter so care plans stay current. Physical, occupational and speech therapy can be scheduled on property, and the staff arranges referrals for podiatry, dental and other specialty services to keep residents’ medical needs coordinated without unnecessary hospital trips.
Additional care safeguards include an emergency call system linked directly to trained personnel, routine fall-risk assessments, and scheduled wellness reviews that involve family and primary physicians. Staff members escort residents to local medical appointments, facilitate telehealth visits, and organize flu shot and vaccination clinics each year. For residents with mild cognitive changes, the community offers additional cueing and redirection within its assisted-living setting rather than requiring a move to another program. Short-term respite stays are also accepted, giving families a reliable option when a primary caregiver is unavailable.
The community offers a range of private and companion suites, along with studio and one-bedroom layouts. Rooms may feature step-in showers with grab bars, individual climate controls, basic cable, and a kitchenette set-up that includes a small refrigerator and microwave, although not every unit includes every item. Weekly housekeeping, linen service and maintenance come standard, and residents can furnish their spaces with personal belongings to suit individual preferences.
Meals are prepared daily by a culinary team that works with a registered dietitian to support physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic or mechanical-soft plans. Three set meal times are complemented by an always-available menu for residents who prefer different hours, and snacks are stocked in common areas throughout the day. The main dining room encourages social interaction, while a smaller private room can be reserved for family gatherings. Staff monitors intake for residents with appetite or swallowing concerns and will coordinate adaptive utensils or fortified foods when clinically appropriate.
