Overview of The Villages of Midtown Oaks

Forty beds keeps The Villages of Midtown Oaks in Altoona, PA, small enough that the staff list is short. Nursing home and skilled nursing care are situated at the same place, with licensed nursing on-site at any and every hour of every day. A visiting nurse comes to a house, does the work, and leaves again. That’s not the arrangement here; help is always available.

Hospice care is offered here too, so care can change without the address changing. Memory care is secured living, with supervision attached. Respite care covers short and unexpected stays. Sometimes the hospital is ready before the house is, and the ramp has not been built yet.

Short-term rehabilitation and general rehabilitation services handle recovery work. Wound dressing changes on a strict schedule are hard for any family to keep at home, and that is the kind of care they cover.

A courtyard gives residents somewhere to spend time outside. A Walk Score of 77 means the area is mostly walkable, and most, though not all, errands are achievable without a car. The community is a good fit for someone needing skilled support now, or someone recovering, or a family that needs to cover for a caregiver’s absence.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Pennsylvania

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Pennsylvania?

Assisted living in Pennsylvania supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover memory care?

Pennsylvania Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Pennsylvania) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 408 memory care communities in Pennsylvania. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in Pennsylvania?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Pennsylvania, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in Pennsylvania?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
