Tamaqua Hi Rise Apartments provides a straightforward assisted-living program designed for residents who want oversight without giving up independence. Licensed care staff are on duty around the clock to monitor health status, coordinate physician or hospital visits, and respond to emergencies through in-room call systems. Professional caregivers handle routine medical tasks such as medication reminders, blood pressure checks, and basic wound care under the direction of each resident’s primary physician. Regular wellness assessments help the team adjust care plans promptly when conditions change.
Beyond core medical oversight, the community supplies daily living assistance that covers bathing, dressing, grooming, mobility support, and meal reminders. Scheduled transportation takes residents to local specialists, dialysis centers, and therapy clinics. A visiting network of physical, occupational, and speech therapists is available on site, and the staff arranges lab work or imaging through local providers. Residents and families receive monthly status reports so everyone stays informed about progress and any needed changes in care.
Apartments range from efficiency layouts to full-size units. Select residences feature bath tubs, roll-in showers, and ground-floor access for easier mobility, while others add private patios, decks, or balconies. Some units accept cats within a stated weight limit, and every floor plan is air-conditioned and equipped with cable or satellite TV and Wi-Fi. Private baths, full kitchens, and options such as handicap-accessible modifications, central fireplaces, or proximity to indoor common areas like the library, computer center, billiards lounge, and TV lounge vary by unit. Resident, covered, and uncovered parking are offered, yet not all accommodations include every listed feature.
Meals are served three times a day in the main dining room, with alternate entrées and standard accommodations for low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-modified diets. Between meals, snacks and beverages are available in the lounge. During warmer months the staff organizes BBQs or picnics on the outdoor patio so residents can dine outside if they choose. Guests may purchase meal vouchers, and residents who prefer to cook can use the full kitchens in their apartments.
Residents have access to an arts and crafts center, fitness center, choir and singing club, and a game room that hosts cards, bridge, and pinochle groups. Daily programming includes yoga or chair yoga, water aerobics, gardening club sessions, quilting or sewing circles, karaoke, wine tastings, and happy hours. The community schedules holiday parties, birthday celebrations, dances, and live dance or theater performances in the movie and theater room. Off-site day trips, shopping outings, and swimming pool visits round out the calendar, while an on-site Bible study group meets weekly to accommodate spiritual interests.
