“They're great people, and it's a great place. Management answers all my questions and returns my calls and emails pretty quickly. My mother-in-law was never one to get involved in activities, but they are getting her involved. Everything always looks good, and she never runs out of clothes. When we moved her in, the maintenance guys helped us carry things and hang her pictures where she wanted them. The nursing staff's attitudes are really great. I would definitely recommend it.”

“I think the facility is extremely good and very well run. Management does what they're supposed to do from morning until night and responds very quickly. The food is delicious; tonight I had sloppy joes and mashed potatoes. I've been to other senior places, and the activities here are superb, with games and puzzles, and I get fresh flowers every day. Everything is fixed and top-notch, and the building is in very good condition. There are alarms in all the buildings and personnel everywhere to take care of people.”

“I'm very, very happy, and I wouldn't have my brother anyplace else. Management is very professional and calls me right back with updates. They always have something going on, and he loves the music. His room is spotless, and the maintenance guys are friendly and always greet you. The caregivers are terrific; they call him by name and are never in a rush. He's very comfortable there and treats it as his home. I would recommend it to anybody who needs a place.”

“We chose this community because friends spoke highly of the care, and the online ratings were high. Management is well trained and knows how to care for people with memory issues; they answered all our questions and paid attention to the family's care, a wonderful support system. Families in my support group say the food is like a four-star restaurant. Staff organized a snack-packing project just for my husband, and he had a great time. It's a wonderful place, and I highly recommend it.”

“My husband is at the community and I think that the staff has been excellent! They have shown great patience and great care. I go in and if I need them for anything, I know that they are there.

“The management staff have been very cooperative when I have any questions or if I have papers for them to fill out they fill them out in a timely manner and they give them to me. I am very pleased with that. They are respectful and very professional in the way that they treat me. Plus, the nurses are fantastic. In regards to the activities, they have activities almost every half hour and they keep them doing things so they don't just sit around and be bored. They play balloon volleyball and have community things together. They keep them active all the time. With the housekeeping and laundry, everything is neat in my brother's room. His bed is made and his laundry is done. Every time I go over there, there is usually somebody outside working on the flower beds or the lawn and keeping the property nice. Inside always looks clean and sharp.My brother is in a very safe environment there and he is treated well and taken care of. As a family, we are very relieved that he is in such a nice place. I would definitnely recommend this community to others.”

“I heard very good things about this community and Kori gave us a tour and I was very impressed with the quality. It didn't smell bad and it was a very cozy place. She settled in just fine and is doing very well. We are very happy so far. The management staff are very thorough and they are very professional. After she was there for about three weeks, they brought my sister and I in and they were very thorough about asking what activities she likes to do and what she doesn't like to do and feedback in general. The healthcare staff are very personable and very warm. They make her feel like she is at home which it is her new home. It is like family there and you get that sense when you walk in.There are so many activities that they offer like flower arranging and balloon volleyball and when I went recently they were all dressed up in witches hats for Halloween. They do engage her but they don't force my mom. The housekeeping and laundry are very good at this community and the maintenance staff go above and beyond. They planted probably 1000 mums in the front to make it so appealing and nice and he did all of it. Anything that needs to be done the maintenance guy is on top of it for sure. I would easily recommend this community to others.”

What these terms mean

DHS inspects each personal care home and assisted living residence every year and investigates complaints and unusual incidents. Each inspection report lists the type of inspection, why it happened (for example renewal, complaint or incident), and each violation of the state rules (55 Pa. Code Chapter 2600 for personal care homes, 55 Pa. Code Chapter 2800 for assisted living residences) with the home’s plan of correction. A complaint inspection with no violations means DHS cited nothing at that visit. Violation titles are DHS’s own short names for each rule. A provisional license is issued when a home is in substantial but not complete compliance with the rules; a home can hold up to four in a row, six months each. When DHS gives notice of a fine, the fine is charged per resident per day only if the violation is not corrected by the deadline. Violation classes: Class I means a substantial probability of death or serious harm, Class II a substantial adverse effect on health, safety or well-being, Class III a minimal effect.

DHS posts a Licensing Inspection Summary for each inspection. Its directory notes that some results may not appear while its systems are being upgraded; if one is missing, contact the department. This community is licensed for 38 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.
