“So far, everything's good. I've seen improvement in management, particularly really good communication. When I eat in the dining room, there's a huge variety, and I personally would not complain. There are wonderful opportunities for activities, plenty for anyone who wants them. I have no complaints about housekeeping or laundry. People are often sitting out front enjoying the outside, which I think is pretty cool. The caregivers are very responsive, keep me in the loop and are respectful. She has the biggest room, and I feel she's absolutely safe.”

The nurses are good with my mom and keep me informed, and all the staff is very professional. I'm happy she's in a safe place where people check on her regularly. I always recommend it to anyone looking.”
“I've got no complaints. Management keeps me informed of anything going on. They take her to different things, like music events and exercise in the main hall, and they have memory games at her table. Her laundry is taken care of, her room is always clean and her bed is always made. The building appears well maintained, the servers are polite, and the caregivers let me know about anything that comes up and are absolutely respectful.”
“Management pays attention to the details and follows up on everything they're supposed to do. There's something to do every day. Her room is always clean.

Everything is documented and reported to me, and I give the head nurse high praise. I'd recommend it.”

It was wonderful.”

“We picked this place for my brother in law because we liked all of the different therapies that they had, cleanliness, and friendliness of the staff. Management staff have a great personality and told us everything about the place. They're number one in terms of activities and other communities' activities aren't quite as complete and varied as they are here. I'd recommend them to anyone that needed that kind of housing. Everyone has been cooperative, kind, and have fulfilled our wishes.”
“They are very kind, very attentive. They are always helping everybody in a respectful manner. I think they are very communicative and willing to listen any concern I have. They are responsive and accessible and they also convey a lot of information through their automated system. They let us know what is going on at the community. Plus, the building looks very nice. It's always clean and decorated nicely for the holidays.”

The management runs a good organization there and I've gotten good reviews from mom's physician, who has spent 15 years caring for residents at this community. The dining menu variety is nice, varied and appropriate for the residents there. Their activities keep people active and interested, which is important. The maintenance staff is excellent and she got assistance setting up her TV. In general, she feels safe, comfortable and her physician couldn't have enough nice things to say about the care there.”

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 100 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.
