Graystone Manor Huntingdon operates as a residential care home, providing round-the-clock supervision and basic medical oversight for older adults who do not require the intensity of a nursing facility but still need consistent support. On-site staff members monitor vital signs, administer and reorder prescription medications, coordinate with each resident’s outside physicians, and arrange on-site visits from therapists, podiatrists, and other allied health professionals when needed. The community can also facilitate hospice and home-health services for residents whose conditions progress, helping them remain in familiar surroundings while receiving appropriate clinical attention.
Beyond direct medical management, caregivers help residents with activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, and transferring. Personal laundry and housekeeping are included, and scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments. An emergency call system links residents to staff at any hour, and regular safety checks add an extra layer of reassurance for families. Care plans are reviewed periodically to adjust service levels as health needs change, and the team documents any changes in condition so that physicians and families remain informed.
Accommodations range from private suites to shared rooms, each furnished and equipped with basic utilities, cable, and phone connections. Bathrooms feature grab bars and non-skid surfaces, and an emergency pull cord or pendant is supplied in every living space. Some units offer added conveniences such as private bathrooms, individual climate controls, or additional closet space, but not all accommodations have all of these features, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and routine maintenance are provided by the community.
Residents receive three daily meals prepared on site along with scheduled snacks. Menus are developed to meet general nutritional guidelines, and the kitchen can accommodate physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, heart-healthy, or puréed selections. Meals are served in a communal dining room to encourage social interaction, though tray service to a resident’s room is available when warranted by health status. Staff monitor food intake and hydration, and a registered dietitian reviews menus periodically to ensure they align with current nutritional standards.
