What to Consider About Assisted Living in Ellwood City

Roughly 30 miles from Pittsburgh, Ellwood City boasts the small-town charm that many seniors enjoy, but also access to nearby urban services and amenities such as world-class health care. Ellwood City is home to one assisted living facility, but there are another 19 within close proximity. These facilities are regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. Also referred to throughout the state as personal care homes, these facilities feature help for seniors with tasks and activities associated with daily living such as dressing and bathing. Some facilities also provide more specialized services to seniors who have dementia or a type of disability. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Ellwood City

  • Ellwood City has an array of resources for seniors, including the Ellwood City Challenges Center, which features educational programs, games such as cards and bingo, a computer lab, and book exchange program.
