I visited this facility

Sherwood Oaks was a lovely community. They had little homes/houses, and I thought they were small and quite outdated. Of course, you had to go outside to eat your meal in the dining room and then you had to go outside to your garage. The only person I saw was a woman who took me on a tour, and she was very pleasant. They seemed to have a lot of very nice activities. The woman took me to an art studio where some of the residents were painting pictures on their own. They have a bell choir where people are ringing bells for music/playing a melody. I thought that was nice. I know that they have a lot of Bridge groups as well. I had a meal there, and it was lovely. I was very impressed. The building was lovely. It had lovely grounds and a nice little pond there.

If my parents decide to move up to Sherwood Oaks, it would be the closest for them, location-wise. They had 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms, and some had porches. They had different rooms that seemed really good. A lot of people were playing various cards like Bridge, and everyone was very friendly in that community. They had a dining area and café. The dining area and the food were really good.

Sherwood Oaks was above average and not a cheap place. The dining room was very nice. I know they do bus and shopping trips. The exterior was impressive, clean, had flowers, and smelled good.

Sherwood Oaks was comprehensive. They provided skilled nursing and a retirement village as well. It was a full-spectrum facility. It was excellent and the kind of place I would consider going to myself. It was a larger facility than the other place I visited. It had a number of activities and different things available that a smaller facility could not supply.

My father has lived here for nearly 20 years and is now 100. He started in "independent living" in a lovely single level cottage home within walking distance of the community center. He recently had a stroke and is currently in skilled nursing and will soon move to the beautiful new Oak Grove building. This is a fabulous place.

I am/was a resident of this facility

My doctor said she has heard some nice things about Sherwood Oaks. We dropped by, they gave us a tour, and I never looked at anything else. It was convenient for my children. They live in this area. It had everything I needed, and it has different levels if I would want to move on to the next level. The staff is very helpful. There are lots to do if I want to, and I am getting involved. They have a beautiful library, and I help in there. I go to a knitting class, and I joined an exercise class. The food is wonderful, and we have a menu to choose from everyday. I am in a patio home, so I have a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen. I have another room and I am using it for dining. The security is wonderful. They walk the property, and they drive around. It's a huge facility with beautiful gardens. At night after dinner, they have programs and movies, and kids come in and sing, I'm a little bit nervous being out at night here, and I don't like to be out at night alone anyway, so I don't participate in a lot of them.

Sherwood Oaks was very beautiful place. The facility is very, very nice, but too expensive for me. Everybody was very nice there and the staff are very helpful. They took time and made sure that I got every information that I could get. They were very responsive to questions.

We just moved my mother to the Sherwood Oaks and she's very happy. Even though it's the farthest away, it had the best reputation and things for her to do, so it's worth the extra travel. The staff was more than helpful. John, who was in the sales department, helped us through the whole process, so they were very, very good. My mom has an absolutely beautiful one-bedroom apartment. She didn't feel like she was alone there; she felt that she had people to be with. They have plenty of activities and a lot of welcoming committees that help people adjust to being by themselves.

I think the facility seems very nice. They have a "bar" area where they have lockers to store personal items. They can play cards in that room when they like. Everyday they have a dinner buffet, which I have eaten. It is quite good. All the staff have seemed very friendly. My grandma's apartment is very nice (does not seem like a nursing home except that she has emergency pull cords everywhere). The grounds are really pretty and everyone in the apartments have their own yards.

I visited this facility

We were looking for continuing care and we toured the place because it's near where my son lives. It was very nice. We were not unhappy with it all! It was some kind of a high-end continuing care facility and rather expensive or, it's just that their paying plan is not acceptable to us. Well, the only problem is that the area is just so cold in the winter. We were looking for some place maybe a little warmer. But we liked the little individual condos that they have. Their dining area was fine and the food was nice. They have many activities there. I particularly like reading and their library. The people there were very nice and friendly. The staff that we met was very nice. We were happy with it and we seriously considered going there. The physical layout of the place is alright but it's just not for us. It's too cold there.

My husband and I helped my grandmother move into this facility over a year ago. She lived alone and we were worried about her, so she chose to move here. I was pleasantly surprised by the facility. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and they seemed to want to be involved in the residents lives and activities. My grandmother loves her living quarters, and likes that she has the freedom to do a lot of activies, but also has medical care and help with daily living if needed.The grounds have lots to do, so my grandmother is never complaining about being bored. There's swimming, jacuzzi, walking trails, fitness facilities, yoga classes, and more. She is more active here than she was at home! Overall we are very pleased with the facility. When I get older, I would probably look into this myself if I needed it.

My husband and I helped my ailing father move into this facility after taking a tour of several other facilities in the area. What prompted us to choose this facility was all the unique amenities it offered as well as how warm and friendly the staff were. At first, I was worried that he would be lonely or not have anything to do but, every time I visit him, he is always involved in some activity. He loves their Yoga and exercise classes and he spends a lot of time in their pool. The facility is always very clean and well maintained when I visit and the staff actually seems interested in interacting with their guests and residents. This is the type of facility I want to be in when I need assisted living.

About Sherwood Oaks in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania

With its indoor heated swimming pool, fitness center and expansive, green campus, Sherwood Oaks is planning for the next generation of retirees. The retirement community opened in 1982 after careful planning by a grassroots effort of retirees who wanted to give themselves and their friends the option to stay in the Pittsburgh area during their retirement. After years of studying other communities, they patterned Sherwood Oaks after the best of what they had observed during their travels.

Today, the retirement community has a renovated Community Center, an expanded wellness program, more dining options and is currently providing services to the next generation of retirees, including:

  • Excellent ratings by the Center for Medicare Services
  • Lake-view walking trails
  • Healthy dining choices
  • Indoor heated lap swimming pool and Jacuzzi
  • Therapeutic massage
  • Exercise, Tai Chi and Yoga classes
  • Fully-equipped Fitness Center
  • Newly constructed apartments and patio home residences

Throughout these changes, however, Sherwood Oaks continues as a community where active retirees enjoy the benefits of a secure, independent lifestyle with the backup of on-site health care and unlimited nursing care.
