What to Consider About Assisted Living in Markleysburg

Markleysburg is a very small community of just 280 people in the mountains of the southwestern region of Pennsylvania. This small community is home to Frank Lloyd Wright's Kentuck Knob, a small, one-story Usonian house that is constructed of native materials. Seniors aged 55 and over may enjoy a guided tour of the house at a discounted rate. 

In spite of its small size, Markleysburg has two assisted living facilities, and there are two more nearby. These facilities are classified as assisted living residences, which are licensed by the Department of Aging, or personal care homes, which are licensed by the Department of Public Welfare.
