What to Consider About Assisted Living in Uniontown
Originally known as Beesontown, Uniontown earned its modern name due to its founding date of July 4th, 1776. The city is now home to more than 9,800 people, 19.5% of whom are age 65 and over. Due to this relatively high population of seniors, there are seven assisted living facilities located within city limits. There are also an additional six in the nearby areas.
Pennsylvania's Department of Aging, Office of Long Term Living, which provides licensing and regulation, officially recognizes these facilities as Assisted Living Residences (ALR). Seniors with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia can get more attentive care at ALRs with special care units (SCUs).
