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.
