UPMC Cole and Sweden Valley Manor Announce Partnership to Enhance Long-Term Care Services for Coudersport Residents

UPMC

August 27, 2025

COUDERSPORT, Pa. – UPMC Cole and Sweden Valley Manor are pleased to announce a strengthened partnership that will elevate long-term care services for the Coudersport community. By early November, Cole Place, a skilled nursing facility located within UPMC Cole, will transfer its operations to Sweden Valley Manor, a skilled nursing facility located right across the street.

Residents and families can choose for residents to safely transition to Sweden Valley Manor’s campus at any time they feel ready or by early November. They will be welcomed into a warm, home-like atmosphere designed to foster comfort and community. Residents and families are also welcome to explore other long-term care options that best support their needs.

“This transition will offer Cole Place residents a truly beautiful, special place to live — one that feels just like home,” said Dan Glunk, M.D., interim president, UPMC Cole and UPMC Wellsboro. “Sweden Valley Manor is known for its personalized, compassionate care. This collaboration between UPMC Cole and Sweden Valley Manor builds on our longstanding partnership in caring for Potter County and beyond.”

With its scenic setting and family-centered approach, residents will enjoy a more residential experience while continuing to receive the same trusted care they’ve come to expect from UPMC.

Cole Place staff will have the opportunity to join Sweden Valley Manor, preserving employment and ensuring familiar faces remain part of residents’ daily lives. This continuity supports a smooth transition and reinforces the strong bonds between caregivers and those they serve. This transfer of operations for Cole Place will not affect personal care home, Cole Manor.

“For many years, UPMC Cole has supported Sweden Valley Manor residents with essential hospital services, and that strong collaboration will continue,” said Kerri Romes, president, HCF Management, Inc. “We are honored to welcome Cole Place residents into our community, where they will be surrounded by trusted caregivers and receive exceptional care.”

Sweden Valley Manor, part of the HCF family of companies, operates several high-quality senior living communities across Potter, McKean, Erie, Westmoreland and Warren counties in Pennsylvania, as well as 15 skilled nursing facilities in Ohio. As a third generation, family-owned, operated and values-driven organization, it is committed to expanding access to long-term care services.

With aligned missions and values, UPMC Cole and Sweden Valley Manor are committed to serving the community through continued collaboration rooted in respect, responsibility and compassionate care.
