Assisted Living Communities in Altoona, PA

"I looked at the Presbyterian Home, and it was nice. You couldn't find a parking place there. You had to park off on the side street. It's not real convenient. I checked out the rooms, and they were probably a little smaller than what his private room was, but they were nice and clean. The staff was friendly. I saw their dining room, and it was nice. It was very sufficient, and not quite as classy, but it was very nice and clean. They have preachers that come in on Sundays. It was very pleasant. It's right in town. You could probably walk to some of the stores from there. "

"This facility like all others that seem to be popping up all over central pa. Is very large and looks like huge hotel or gold club house. Very clean and very new looking.this facility offers separate apartments for individuals to live with nurses that travel around the property depending on the individuals needs. This place was very properly looked after so was the lady we were there to see.This facility has large community rooms and dinning areas that are comparable to even the most of 5 star restaurants.The level of personal care covered by the employees here encompasses everything one could need.from ER care to dental care.bathing and transportation.The woman we visited seemed as though she live in a very wealthy private community. she had no complaint and her friends there did not either.She was very comfortable.I was very comfortable.

"My father is in memory care at Colonial Courtyard at Tyrone. It's awesome and we haven't had any problems so far. They're very clean and they're very attentive to my father. We talked to several other people and they recommended it very highly. The people there were friendly and the meals were very good. Everything was very adequate."

"Moving here was the smartest thing I have ever done. I live in independent living in a fully functioning facility. There is everything any could possibly need or want . In addition to cottages,, apartments, a bank, a country store, a hair salon, a pool and workout equipment there is a complete 're hab center, nursing unit, assisted living and Alzheimer's unit. The staff and residents are equally kind . The restaurant and cafe are exceptional. "

"My mother has been a resident at Epworth for a year now she has had excellent care. The staff is very accommodating, very professional, polite and courteous to all of their residents. We have been there at various times during the day and the evening there is care available. they are above reproach. The staff wears many "hats" to help with duties so everyone is cared for. They keep family updated with any concerns and answer any questions you may have. "

"My sister is at The Village at Morrisons Cove. She's in independent living, but she gets some assistance. It's been wonderful. They were very informative and contacted me right back. They go from assisted to more assisted and then to nursing, so it's like a three-level step. They have the very independent living there. Then they go to another kind of apartment where they can have some assistance, such as with medication, other reminders, or assistance with meals. Then they go to a higher level of need, such as more nursing or more elderly care. It is why I chose that one. In other words, she doesn't have to move. She's in that same facility. She remembers everybody, and she has the same people taking care of her. The care is really good, and the facility is clean. They're very professional, and they have real nurses on-staff, not just med techs."

"My family seen them have a cook out at delgrosso park my hat is off to them "

"Olivia Village Assisted Living Residence is a very small and family-owned community. They made you feel like you're a person, not a number. My dad is in a private room, but they also have shared rooms to offer. They can go outside for walks, have bingo nights, a therapist and a doctor that comes in, a cafeteria area, and several different TV rooms. Plus, you can have a TV in your own room. It's laid out the same as everybody else. There's a long hallway with rooms off each side and the dining area. Then there are a couple of different community rooms. The staff is very good. My dad's been satisfied with the food as well."

"We visited Arotin's Hummingbird Estate. It's kind of new. I loved it. The owner worked at a different place that was quite large, and she wanted to have a smaller place where she could hire the people and make sure that the residents were well taken care of. So there were only 13 people there when we were at Arotin's Hummingbird Estate. It was quiet. In the vicinity where it is, you could look out the window and see train tracks, or you could look out another window and see the trees. It's just a lovely place. And everybody was so friendly. No matter who came out of their rooms and saw us sitting, they would say, 'If you're coming here, you're coming to the best place. It's wonderful here. The food is delicious. We're well taken care of.' The place is so beautiful, and the rooms are so spacious, that I can't get over it. They have private rooms and semi-private rooms."

"This facility seems very nice from the outside and as soon as you walk in, but after you're there for a few minutes, the real scene unfolds. The staff doesn't come to the need of residents right away but are instead sitting down at a table chatting together, when they do answer the call bells most are not pleasant: yelling, attitudes, mocking residents, being rough. Aside from the unfriendly staff, the facility itself was dirty; dust at least 3 inches thick on ceiling fans that were blowing, scattering dust around, dirty tables, food on floor and tables. We got to meet with the owner of the facility, along with 2 other facilities. He has a crude sense of humor and doesn't seem to get to know the residents on a personal level which to me is a key priority to owning/operating a long time care facility to make the rest of their lives enjoyable. I would never put a family member of my own in this facility, and am glad I don't have to go back! "

"The rooms were clean and she was happy with the way the staff treated her. Given healthy snacks and great meals. Had lunch with her on many occasions there. "

"Cambridge Ebensburg is quaint, and there's not a lot of residents in the memory care. My dad is getting a little bit more attention than he would have from some of the other ones that are more packed. My interactions with the staff have been good. Most of them have given me their personal numbers to call them or text them, so that I can keep an eye on him or even Facetime him."
