Foxdale Village

500 E. MARYLYN AVENUE, STATE COLLEGE, PA 16801

Foxdale Village has a 5-star overall rating and strong staffing, but regulators found significant concerns like falls and unexplained weight loss, alongside a federal fine. You can press the call button at 2 am and someone is actually coming, with Registered Nurse hours per resident well above the national average, which means residents get hands-on care to prevent bedsores and the staff here tend to stay.
