Phoebe Berks offers three distinct levels of care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and secure Memory Care—allowing residents to transition smoothly as their needs change. Medical oversight is wide-ranging: on-site physicians, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, a podiatrist, and a dentist provide routine and specialized services. Residents have access to diabetes management, continence management, ambulatory care, outpatient rehabilitation, and coordinated medication management. Physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available on campus, and respite care is offered for short-term stays.
Supportive features extend beyond clinical services. An emergency call system, with individual call units in each residence, connects residents to staff around the clock. The community maintains a continuing-care model that lets residents stay within one location even if health needs increase. Memory Care units incorporate brain fitness technology, structured programming, and secured spaces. Medication coordination is handled by licensed nurses and an on-site pharmacy, while resident and family counseling is available. Incontinence and ambulatory assistance, pet-focused wellness programs, and coordination of rehabilitative schedules round out the day-to-day support.
Apartments and cottages vary in layout and amenities, so prospective residents should confirm exact features during a tour. Options can include private baths, kitchenettes, washers and dryers, cable or satellite TV, wireless Internet, individual climate control, balconies or patios, and handicap-accessible design. Some units overlook outdoor gardens, walking paths, and a courtyard deck, and reserved parking is available for those who drive.
Dining follows a restaurant-style approach with meals prepared by a professional chef. Residents can choose all-day dining or scheduled seatings and may invite guests for meals. Specialized menus accommodate organic preferences, gluten-free needs, low-sodium plans, no-sugar diets, and other physician-ordered restrictions, and healthy snacks are stocked between meals. Seasonal barbecues and picnic events are scheduled when weather permits.
Recreation and social engagement are supported by an activity center, library and computer lounge, art studio, fitness center, and indoor pool. Organized programs include health and wellness classes, yoga and chair yoga, tai chi, Wii bowling, arts and crafts workshops, clubs, intergenerational events, community service projects, day trips, and holiday parties. Regular movie nights, dances, birthday celebrations, and swimming sessions provide additional opportunities for socialization and exercise.
