Ecumenical Retirement Community in Harrisburg, PA, offers assisted-living care designed for residents who need help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication reminders while maintaining as much independence as possible. Trained caregivers are on site around the clock to provide prompt assistance and to coordinate with outside health providers when additional services are required.
The community’s medical support includes diabetes care, with staff trained to monitor blood glucose levels, assist with insulin administration, and coordinate dietary plans in line with each resident’s physician orders. Care staff maintain detailed health records and communicate changes to family members and healthcare professionals, helping to reduce hospital visits and manage chronic conditions effectively.
Residents can choose from several accommodation layouts that may include private or companion suites. Some units have direct access to outdoor areas, giving residents the option to spend time outside without leaving the secured grounds. Not all accommodations have every feature, so prospective residents and families are encouraged to confirm specific layouts and amenities during a visit.
Dining at Ecumenical Retirement Community centers on balanced meals prepared on site and served three times daily in a communal dining room. Menus are reviewed for nutritional content and adjusted to meet physician-ordered diets, including carbohydrate-controlled options for residents managing diabetes. Snacks and beverages are available between meals for added convenience.
An activity center provides space for social events, exercise classes, and hobby groups, supporting physical and cognitive engagement throughout the week.
