Marywood Heights in Scranton, PA, operates as a nursing home that delivers around-the-clock skilled nursing care. Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on duty at all times to handle medication administration, wound care, chronic disease monitoring, and post-surgical recovery. Residents benefit from onsite physical therapy services designed to restore or maintain mobility, reduce pain, and support safe transfers. Therapy plans are developed in coordination with physicians and adjusted as progress is documented, ensuring that each resident receives attention aligned with current medical needs.

Beyond the core nursing services, the facility provides regular health assessments, fall-prevention programs, and care coordination with outside specialists or hospitals when advanced interventions are required. A multidisciplinary team reviews each resident’s care plan, updates goals, and communicates changes to families. Routine vital-sign checks, lab work coordination, and access to diagnostic imaging are arranged as needed, giving residents and their families a clear picture of ongoing health status without leaving the community.

Accommodations include a selection of private and semi-private rooms, some of which are pet friendly for residents who meet established guidelines. Outdoor areas give residents opportunities to spend time in fresh air and participate in supervised activities, but not every room has direct access to these spaces, so availability depends on assignment and room type.

Dining services provide three nutritionally balanced meals each day, with menu options adapted for physician-ordered diets such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanical-soft plans. Meals can be taken in common dining rooms designed for accessibility, and tray service is available when a resident’s medical condition calls for in-room dining.

Residents have access to an activity center that hosts scheduled programs, clubs and community gatherings, arts and crafts sessions, and social outings to local points of interest. A library and computer lounge offers quiet space for reading, internet use, and video calls with family. Program staff coordinate these amenities to match individual interests and functional abilities, encouraging participation without pressuring residents who prefer a quieter routine.
