St. Barnabas Health System is a top-quality, affordable healthcare community serving the Greater Pennsylvania area. Among our care services, we offer a comprehensive senior wellness and prevention program. Adults in need living in our communities, with family or independently, can benefit from our top-notch care, helping to maintain a high quality of life and overall health for years to come.
We serve our residents delicious and well-balanced meals with rotating seasonal menus, daily specials, and custom options. Our highly skilled chefs talk regularly with our residents to learn what dishes they would like featured in the community as well as cooking to their liking. We want to ensure that dining is a source of happiness and feel like home.
The Value of Wellness and Prevention
Preventative medicine is an essential cornerstone of effective healthcare. While emergency rooms and specialists become valuable when something goes wrong, our doctors help our residents to avoid serious health problems in the first place. These services are especially valuable for senior adults.
Aging bodies can be unpredictable, affected by a wide range of minor and major health issues. They also struggle to recover after a significant injury, illness, or procedure. This makes preventative care all the more important. With high-quality prevention, our residents can maintain happy and comfortable lives.
