Amber Springs is a 100-suite Assisted Living Center offering well-appointed private and semiprivate rooms or suites. It is beautifully furnished and decorated, offering free cable television and individually controlled heat and air conditioning. Residents also have access to our Senior Wellness Program and 24-hour staffing.

Assisted living in the United States is most often paid for privately. A number of commercial insurances, however, are beginning to become available to cover assisted living. We will be pleased to research your insurance to determine if there is any applicable coverage.

Funds for assisted living and personal care are available to veterans, surviving spouses and their dependent children. If you qualify for participation in this program, we will review the details of these benefits with you and assist with the application process.

The Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare inspects our facility annually. Reports documenting our state inspections are available through our Assisted Living Sales Office upon request.

Each of our residents is assessed at pre-admission and at the time of admission. This assessment determines the level of care required by the individual. Residents are re-evaluated annually or if there is a change in their condition. While the level of services will vary based on the individual’s needs, assistance may be provided with bathing, dressing, medication management and support of daily living. We encourage residents to maintain their independence as much as possible. However, if a resident needs assistance, we are here to help.

Our facilities are staffed and supervised 24 hours a day. Our staff consists of Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Nurse Assistants (NAs). In addition, a Registered Nurse (RN), associated with our skilled nursing facility, is available 24 hours a day to address any emergencies at our assisted living facility. Our staff is kind, caring and compassionate, and gets to know each resident individually.

We offer a full range of daily activities, including religious programs. We also offer a “Wellness Program”, instructed by a Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant. This popular program is conducted five days a week, and there are three to four classes each day. Activities consist of seated exercises, walking exercises, mind reminisce programs, cooking, socials and current events discussions. We encourage our residents to join the classes once their physician approves them for participation. There are up to 12 individuals in each class. Monthly facility activity calendars listing all events are given to all residents, and are also posted throughout the facility.

We provide three nutritionally balanced meals each day, and also offer alternate menu choices. Snacks are available 24 hours a day. We are able to accommodate all special dietary requirements. Menus are available, and residents are encouraged to eat in our dining room. Meals are served at tables to help create a more home-like experience. If you or members of your family would like to sample our meals, please ask to do so on your admissions tour.

Rooms are cleaned on a daily basis, and more often if needed. We provide bedding, and linens for bathing. A laundry area is provided if you prefer to do your own laundry. Personal laundry service is also available for a separate fee. Our maintenance staff is on call daily for your convenience.

We review our emergency and fire evacuation plan annually. In addition, we annually test life safety equipment and hold simulated evacuations in cooperation with local fire and emergency services agencies.

Transportation is available through a number of facility resources and community providers. The staff at the assisted living facility can arrange transportation to physician and medical service appointments.

We encourage you to bring your own furniture to the assisted living facility, and to decorate your room. To maintain the safety of our environment, it is necessary to inspect all furniture and appliances brought into the assisted living facility. If you should need furniture, we can provide all the furnishings necessary to appoint your room.

A number of physicians routinely visit the assisted living facility to see patients. A list of physicians can be provided.

We typically have a waiting list. We encourage you to complete an application, which we will keep on file. When an opening becomes available, we will call you.
