Scranton Health Care Center is a nursing-home provider that delivers 24-hour skilled nursing care for residents who need consistent medical oversight. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants manage medication schedules, monitor vital signs, and coordinate with physicians to keep treatment plans current. The center accepts both short-term and long-term stays, giving families flexibility when a loved one requires a higher level of clinical attention than can be provided at home.
Beyond standard nursing care, the community supports respite stays for caregivers who need temporary relief, and it maintains an on-site physical therapy program to help residents regain strength and mobility after illness, injury, or surgery. Therapy sessions are scheduled by referral and carried out in a dedicated rehab space equipped for gait training, balance work, and other restorative exercises. Care plans are reviewed regularly, allowing staff to adjust goals and interventions as residents progress.
Residents live in private or shared suites that may feature pet-friendly policies, wireless internet, cable TV, housekeeping service, and access to outdoor areas or a library and computer lounge. Because room layouts vary, not every accommodation includes every feature, so families should confirm specific amenities during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily in the communal dining room. The culinary team works with dietitians to support physician-ordered diets and common modifications such as low-sodium, diabetic, or mechanically altered textures. Alternate entrée choices are available at each meal, and staff are present to assist anyone who needs help with seating or eating.
Residents can take part in health and wellness programs, organized clubs and community groups, and scheduled events in the activity center. These offerings aim to keep residents engaged, promote mobility, and foster social connections. Pets are welcomed under the community’s guidelines; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
