Long-term Care Services at Penn Highlands
For someone who has a chronic illness or disability and needs assistance in completing daily tasks, long-term care is a way to ensure their needs are met in a comfortable setting. Long term care residents receive compassionate care that extends beyond just what their medical condition may require. And while most facilities cater to an aging or senior population, it's not uncommon for someone who suffered an injury at a younger age to require the services of a long term nursing home.

Who Benefits From Long Term Care Services?
The best candidate for long term care is someone who needs extended assistance beyond just a few weeks or months. Our long term care residents are people who need help due to an illness or injury, but still want to retain some measure of independence. We also find that family members of our long term care residents benefit greatly since they no longer have to shoulder caring for someone on their own.
