Assisted Living Communities in Bridgeville, PA

"Paramount was a very comparable and a very nice facility; it was one of the nicer places. The rooms were spacious and nice. The staff was very nice also, and the dining area looks fine. "

"I enjoyed meeting with the marketing director of Paramount Senior Living at Peters Township. He spent two and a half hours with us, went over everything, and toured us in the facility. I was somewhat familiar with the facility already from a few years ago and I was very pleased. They have the standard amenities that they do for an assisted living, like medications, incontinence monitoring, and helping with dressing. They did not offer any food at this time because of the restrictions, I guess because of Covid. Normally, they would offer for you to come to lunch or dinner, but at this time, they are not letting family members join in the meals."

"I think Overlook Green is an excellent place. As far as the quality of the product that they provide, we have nothing but good things to say about what we saw there. I'm pretty much satisfied with the place. The overall cleanliness was good. The attentiveness of the staff to the patients, on my short visit, appeared to be excellent. "

"My husband is here. I was scrambling to find a new place and Whitetail Springs has only been around for about a year. It's a new facility, so they were able to take him. The hospital was kind of like, 'we can't keep him, you gotta get him out of here,' so I was really put on the spot. It's a beautiful facility and has caring staff. They are also very kind, helpful, and particularly accommodating. With the pandemic, I really can't see him, and it's just been incredibly difficult. One of the things that concerns me is the distance from home; I am 45 minutes away from him. I've had some housekeeping issues with him, too. I was able to see him for one hour last week and I wasn't pleased with how clean his room was and some other issues. It is extremely pricey, but I believe he is being well cared for. "

"The management of Paramount Senior Living seems to be responsive and looks after the facility pretty well. The building is kind of small, but it is well maintained. There are not enough parking spaces for visitors, but that is the only complaint I have about the physical facility itself. They have a large dining area, they offer three meals a day, and the meals are good, because I was there for a week or so, and I thought the meals were very good. Right across the street from this facility is a small shopping center that has a doctor's office, a small supermarket, and a bakery shop too. My mother has had no really negative comments about it, except that she wishes she could get around more, but she is happy that the nursing staff is responsive. She wears a thing around her neck, she pushes the button, and they come. I would recommend this place. "

"I like the layout of The Residence at Whitehall. Since I'm one of the new members to come in there, I got my apartment at the back of the building, which is good because you don't get the traffic noise on Route 51. It's also pet-friendly. I'm moving in on May 30. Shelly has been very helpful in telling me what I need to do ahead of time, so I'd give her a 5. I had a couple of lunches there and enjoyed them."

"My mom moved in. So far, so good. We had a couple of glitches, but other than that, it was fine. It's hard during the quarantine because she can't meet anybody, but the staff has been great. They've been wonderful helping around. She loves the food, and it's much more than what she normally eats. She's not used to eating three or four meals a day, so she picks at what she can, but she says it's very good. It's a beautiful place, clean, and well kept. She got a studio, which is quite large, it has a big window, a small refrigerator, and a microwave. There's plenty of room, a nice closet, and a big bathroom. It's bigger than I thought it was going to be, and she has everything she needs."

"My mother-in-law moved into Harmony at Diamond Ridge. Nicole, the one who gave us the tour several times, had the biggest impact on my mother. She was very thorough, showing us the entire facility several times, answering all of the questions, providing and explaining the care my mother would be receiving, which met all of the criteria I needed for her. And so far, so good. They're wonderful, very helpful, get her down to her meals, bring her back, take her to activities, introduce her to other residents, and make her feel comfortable and at home. She loves the food. We can also eat with her if we'd like, and we have several times. The food is wonderful. They have a special every day, but there is also a completely different menu, so if it's something she doesn't like, she can order it from there. It's the cleanest facility I have been in. They have a ton of activities. They have art class, cards, and bingo. They have a coffee chat every morning, where residents can get together. They go down to the bistro and have coffee, get to know the other residents, have a snack or something, and talk, which she did, and she likes that really well. They have a lot of different activities. You get a schedule, and it's the whole day. If you want to be doing something every minute of the day, you can be. They go on outings and take them to restaurants and stores. I chose this facility because it seemed the best fit for her. The size of the facility, the staff, the director, and everyone that we have met. It just seemed like a perfect fit for her. All the facilities that I took her to, her exact words were that they felt like home to her."

"Mount Vernon was very nice and has numerous activities. "

"The staff at The Haven at North Hills was very kind, considerate, courteous, and went out of their way just to make people comfortable. They answered any questions that I had and were more than willing to offer information even if I didn't ask the question. Their rooms were a lot bigger compared to the other two places I visited. They were newly decorated and had more up-to-date furnishings. It was just too far out of my way to go, so there was a distance issue. "

"The rooms that they showed us at Graceful Care Living just had a bed in them, and that's it. We knew immediately when we got there that that wasn't what we were looking for. The staff mentioned that they have another section for people who are more independent. However, it was still somewhat the same concept. Instead of being in a room, like a small, single room, there were two beds. There was no television in those independent rooms. You have to go out of the room to watch television. It was that type of atmosphere, and my mother doesn't want that. She wants something that's like a small apartment, where she can live in that small space and be able to care for herself. I liked the atmosphere. I liked the staff. They're very nice and very accommodating as we went through the tour. My mom asked questions, although she didn't ask very many because she knew, and I could tell just from how she was withdrawn that she was like, "No, this is not going to work for me." I said it to the guy. I said, she's a lot more independent. She can get around fairly well, but this is not for her. She still needs to be in her own place where she can take care of herself. The only thing that she needed was somebody to help her, like to come in and help her to make sure that she's taking her meds. I didn't smell anything. It was very clean."

"My friend is currently at the Apple Blossom. It's only a year old, so it's a brand-new community. Even though they are in quarantine, they are allowing the residents to go into their dining room, where only two people could eat at each round table. In the place where she stayed before, she had to stay in her room for nine months. All that time, she had her meals delivered to her room, so she never got out of it, and because of that she ended up being in a wheelchair. She's been in the Apple Blossom for two weeks now, and I like the fact that they were taking her out of her room. She also loves the food there. She said the food was really good and really wonderful with different menus. In the other place where she was, her breakfast was like a buffet. Everything was already cooked and already dried out by the time she got it. On her first morning in Apple Blossom, she went into the dining room, and they made her an omelette. She hadn't had an omelette for two-and-a-half years. And on her first night, they had spaghetti and chicken parmesan, and all kinds of good things. The dining room is open all day, and you can eat whenever you want to until 6:30; after that, you can have snacks anytime. They are also allowing her husband in by appointment, and they have a special room for them to go to. He can stay half an hour, or if nobody else has an appointment, he can stay longer. I never saw her room, but I know it's tiny. It has a single bed and one little dresser where the TV is, but most of the day, she's out of her room. There is a sitting area where they have a receptionist, and I can call any time of the day. They will give her the phone, and then we'll talk, and that's nice because she had nobody to talk to before and just slept all day. They have specially trained people for dementia. She's getting speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. I've never been in there, but I just know from her husband that they are always there to help her, talking to her and all that. He likes it, and he's the only one who has been there. He also said it's clean, and he likes the people because they are kind and come in to introduce themselves when they talk to her, and she's loving it. She's awake and alert now, and that's what I like about it."

"All new decorated rooms, floors, painted wall, new toilets, mattress, as well as kitchen, reading room, meeting room, every inch of this home has been touched and made more comfortable, more accessible, to its residence. The food is great, the care, the staff, all helpful, and at beckoning call when needed. Our 1st cousin has been there for five years. He needed more help than we could have given him,…. Sycamore Estates was the answer."

"Mom moved into Sterling Home last September. The place is nice and the rooms are decent. The only thing I have is that if you want a room with a bathroom, you have to pay more. If not, you have to use the community bathroom. I like the staff. They do care about the residents, and I've never seen them mistreat anyone. I know that my mother has never felt mistreated. As far as the services, they wash her clothes, make sure that she gets her meds, and they provide her with meals. I'm pretty much satisfied with the services that she receives. There are no activities going on there. They are indicating that most of the residents don't want to participate. The dining area is clean, but I think the selection could be better."
