Our personal care services are an attractive alternative to the nursing home environment for many elderly individuals who wish to maintain their independence while having access to needed assistance with the activities of daily life. At Fritzingertown, you will find a variety of services to meet your individual taste and need—whether you prefer to reside in your own personal apartment, take advantage of our personal care services, or need the special services of our separate secure memory care unit.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative, irreversible brain disease that affects the physical makeup of the brain and leads to memory loss and other problems. Research is well underway to find a treatment for this disease. For over three decades, Fritzingertown has been a trusted provider of specialized care for Alzheimer's and other dementia as well as senior personal care throughout Luzerne, Carbon, and Schuylkill counties.
We know that when someone you love may be experiencing some memory challenges, it can be lonely and upsetting for the individual as well as for their caregiver and/or family member. The Evergreen Unit at Fritzingertown is an Alzheimer/Memory Care unit, developed to accommodate the areas growing need for such specialized care. We are happy to provide quality, caring support for residents suffering from these debilitating diseases.
Evergreen is a separate, secured unit located on the same campus as our personal care residence. Evergreen's design has been created to provide residents and their families with a feeling of warmth and comfort, all in a homelike setting they have come to expect at Fritzingertown. We also have designated walking paths available outdoors. This space offers residents a larger, yet controlled environment. Also, in the Evergreen facility, residents are encouraged to be creative and still take part in their hobbies, personal interests, and history. Also included in the Evergreen facility is Respite care, available for a short stay of a weekend, week, or month to give caretakers a much deserved break.
Keeping residents feeling young is very important. Activities at Fritzingertown are designed to stimulate the mind and body, as well as the soul. A full activity schedule helps residents make new memories with new friends. Changing seasons are marked with Halloween events, cookouts for the Fourth of July, and cookie-baking at Christmas. Area service organizations and youth groups routinely visit for evenings of sing-a-longs and entertainment. Our residents return the hospitality by hosting Easter egg hunts, trick-or-treat nights, and special holiday events for local children.
If life on the go is what you want, our field trips to local attractions such as dinner theaters, shopping centers, miniature golf courses, and casinos. Residents are transported in our specialized van which is fully equipped with wheel chair accessibility and air conditioning.
"One big, happy family," is more than just a phrase to us - we live it every day in our community.
