"We put my mom into Parker Personal Care Facility. It's close to our home. It is very clean, and they have home-cooked meals. My mom requires full care, and they give it to her very easily. The staff are very helpful, kind and considerate. Every area is clean, and they have a beautiful outside area. They have a salon and a nice library area."

"We took a tour of Oakwood Heights - Oil City Presbyterian SeniorCare. They greeted us promptly and took us out in the courtyards. It's multi-level. It was very clean and looked very well-kept. We were very pleased with that. It was probably where my mom would choose to go, if there was availability at the time. The facility was very clean and very well-staffed. They showed us how they accommodate food needs because my mom is diabetic. They went through how the day before an individual person comes through, sits down, and goes through meal choices. If what is offered isn't something that they like, they accommodate and make whatever is within the limits that the resident would want. We're pleased about that. It's also built into a hillside. Even though it's about four stories high, you can walk out at ground level on each floor. We were on the fourth floor, and there was an outside ground-level courtyard. It's very bright and very well-maintained. There are places with seating, and they can do flower gardening. They plan all kinds of things to get the residents involved. We saw the activity director doing all kinds of activities with them, including bingo. They've also done COVID precautions, like playing bingo from their rooms and having cards with prizes going up and down the halls. It's very well-organized and very upbeat. It wasn't like they were putting on a show for us. This place was probably our first choice."

"Well as I stated above I was not in the facility but my Uncle George was. This was the first time I have ever had any experience with this type of facility and I was about 25 years old at the time. Never having any familiarity with a nursing home I did not know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised! I found the facility extremely clean and it didn't have that "institutional" smell so associated with medical places! I found that the staff, tho somewhat appearing to be overworked, were very kind to the patients under their care and quite happy to answer the mundane questions that the visitors or relatives of the patients. The food did not smell bad to me and I was informed by several patients that it was quite tasty, I am assuming that it did have nutritional value as I had no way of disproving or proving this statement. All in all I believe that Golden Living Center is a nice, well cared for, competent place to put your loved ones in the event that they need this type of institutional care. "

"My mother went to respite care at Quality Life Services. The staff was very nice. I didn't try the food, but she ate well there. They had activities. It's an older building. It wasn't as nice, but I didn't have any problems with her care. She did really well there. The facility wasn't terrible, but it was older and worn-out looking. They were a little more expensive because I think they're classified as a nursing home, but as far as nursing homes go, I think it's fair. I know they're cheaper than some of the others in the area."

"I saw The Caring Place for my mother. The only issue was I thought we were pretty clear that we were looking for the nursing home part of it, but they gave us a tour of the assisted living. There was nobody available for the nursing home part of it, but we got the information. They gave us a tour of the place, and we saw some of the shared facilities. The place was very clean. It looked very well-staffed and well-organized. We were just pleased with everything we saw. If the need arose, it would definitely be one of the places we would be comfortable having my mom be a resident there. The staff was very knowledgeable and very friendly. She was very upfront with the fact that she couldn't give us the information about what we actually needed. She put us in contact with the person who could help us. She gave us all the contact information. The rooms they showed us were all single rooms, which were their short-term stays. Their long-term stay rooms were doubles. They were very clean and did not smell like a nursing home, which was wonderful."

"Rivercliff Terrace Annex had a very open main floor. It had elevators, all the rooms were private with their own private bathroom, and there was a shower room on each floor. It was just a nice open layout and it was very clean. The residents were up and doing things. Nobody was sitting on wheelchairs. It just looked like a healthier environment. The two staff members we met were very friendly and very helpful. All the food was homemade and smelled wonderful. They get two choices for every meal, in terms of what they want to eat, so they're not forced to eat what's just being made. There's a beautician that comes in once a week, there's a doctor close by, and a really nice big patio with nice furniture for them to sit on. It was beautiful and had everything we were looking for."

"Heritage Meadows (Formerly Erdley's Sunnyside Personal Care Home) is wonderful. They go out of their way to make my mother comfortable and do what she needs. Everybody's very nice. There's two to a room, but it's very clean and very organized. They have bingo, a beautician comes in every couple of weeks, one of the girls does their nails, and they have a band that comes in once a month. The food is good and she likes it. It's a bright, happy place and very clean. They're full all the time. The young couple who run it are very dedicated. Everything is great."

"Melody Manor is actually two joined houses that's been converted into a home for seniors. My mother’s been there for two months now. They are a caring staff and the residents just love them. Friday morning I went to look at the place and everything was so nice. There was homemade bread cooling on the counter in the kitchen. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, and now it’s decorated for Valentine’s Day. The menus are good, and the place is clean and smells good. It really has a beautiful, homey atmosphere, and the caretakers are fantastic. However, it’s an hour away from me, and the price is an issue because my mother does not have very much money. It’s just a very nice atmosphere, and I don’t know that I would want to move her since they take good care of their residents. If she has any difficulty, they make sure she’s OK, and they have a doctor come in once a week. It’s just an ideal place for her. The people are so nice, including the residents and the staff. There are multiple rooms with singles, doubles, and some with four beds. There are bathrooms either attached to the rooms or just across the hall from the rooms, and they have showers where people can go in and sit down, take the hand nozzle and wash themselves off or they will help the residents. The staff is just amazing, and the residents love them. "

"I went to Rivercliff Terrace in Kittanning. I knew of other residents who were there, and it's really close to me. It's only like five minutes away. It's very neat, they have very friendly people to work with, and they have nice rooms. My friend is starting to get dementia, but they'll keep her as long as she can feed herself or walk. She's able to do some things herself. I just went in for a tour, just looking for a room. I know it's all home-cooked food. They have two floors, but I can get a room downstairs. They have porches where they can go out and sit, and they have a riverfront view. They do exercises. It's probably five minutes from the hospital."
