Garvey Manor

During my visits to my grandfather here, I have had countless experiences with the staff. Every time I spoke with them, they were as friendly and welcoming as could be. After about two weeks, many of the staff knew me and my family by name. My grandfather was well taken care of by the staff at Garvey Manor. The residents had various different activities they could partake in and the staff would also have trips scheduled for those willing to go shopping. I do recall my grandfather saying the food was good, but I have never tried it myself. The facility itself is very well kept and maintained and seemed more of like a hotel than an assisted living complex. Given the location of the residence, it makes an excellent choice if you work anywhere in the Altoona / Hollidaysburg area. Lunch break or after work stops are very convenient since the drive is not far. If your seeking an assisted living facility, this really is a wonderful option!

My mother was admitted to a nursing home when her Alzheimer started to get progressively worse. With only her well being in mind we did research and choose Garvey Manor as a logical choice for her stay. The home is located very close to Altoona, a major shopping center in PA so when we took her out for breaks we did not have to go far. Every time we visited we are constantly told how great the food was over and over and over again. I found the home to be less jail like compared to over assisted living homes. My mother had very much freedom and everyone there was so nice. Her nurse, Nancy, was amazing. Very personable and knew all of us by name after the first week. It was truly a pleasure to be able to deal with such a great group of people who obviously loved helping others. I hope my kids have the decency to find me somewhere like Garvey Manor if I ever need to be put in a home.
