Assisted Living Communities in Ephrata, PA

"This is an outstanding assisted living facility. With a well trained and caring staff they set the bar for safe, loving, and respectful living for our most vulnerable population. I feel less anxious knowing that my mother is receiving what she needs to enhance the time she has left. It was a lucky day when I found this place for the care of my relative. with a caring "

"Gorgeous Grounds and Interiors. Staff is always so helpful."

"Extravagant! Christine showed me a 1-bedroom apartment, also a companion suite. Had very delicious lunch and also met some wonderful residents as well. The grounds were exceptional."

"My husband moved to Linden Village Senior Living Community and I chose the place because I had experience with it before, so I felt that it was the place to go. It's like a cottage situation where there are 16 rooms on the outer edge of the facility. Eight on one side, eight on the other with a dining area, and lounging areas in the center. I had lunch there and the food was very good. They have a pretty good schedule of activities that are stimulating. There are usually two staff people there at a time and they interact with the residents. They have a living area. The staff takes care of the laundry. They take care of serving the food, and when it's time to serve the food an extra person comes in."

"Juniper Village at Forest Hills is fine. I don’t have any problem with the place at all. It’s a very nice place. My mother-in-law actually has 2 rooms. She has a little living room, a bedroom, a very small kitchen, and a very nice bathroom. These are somewhat limited because she had been in a skilled home for a month, and they had a lot more activities. So, they had limited activities. "

"I am currently staying here. They give me my pills every day. When I go away, they have my medication packed and ready with me. The people are very friendly, and the nurses know my name. The meals are good, and they give it to you hot. If you don't go down to the cafeteria, they will bring your food to your room. They have bingo. There is a priest that comes in. I am in a one-bedroom. They come in once a week and take your laundry or you can wash it yourself."

"We went to Paramount Senior Living at Lancaster County. Size-wise, they have about 60 people, so the size was manageable. It's all on one floor, so it met a lot of the criteria we were looking for. They have a living area with room for a couple of chairs or a loveseat, a little dinette, a refrigerator, telephone hookups, and cable hookups. The staff, Cindy, was very knowledgeable and did a great job."

"Rooms are nice, staff is helpful, many activities to participate in if the resident wishes. I like the smaller community."

"Amity Place was super clean and everyone was very kind. It's assisted living and I had gotten the full tour of the whole place including where they eat, where they can cook for themselves, beauty salons, craft centers, and their patio outside. I got to see a room that would be for whoever you're putting there. Everyone was so nice and the residents seemed very happy. They seemed very content and they were kept busy if they wanted to. There were a lot of things going on and that was right a couple of weeks before Christmas. They have a big room where they can sit and watch TV, do crafts, and cook and do many things. It was just out of our price range. The person who gave the tour was awesome. She answered all my questions, gave me pamphlets, and told me what was happening and what they had to offer which was very helpful. I know they do cooking classes, beauty salons, and cooking classes. They have outings too where they take them places. You could also take the residents out like I could pick my mother up there and take her to do something. They have no problems with that. You just sign them out and sign them back in. Their eating room was big, very well-lit with natural light, there were a lot of windows, and it's very clean. It was nice and clean. The individual area where guests could cook if they wanted to was kept very clean, too."

"St Martha villa is a very nice facility. The staff are pleasant and accommodating and are very flexible with the needs of seniors. I recommend this facility to everyone! "

"Eagleview Landing was beautiful, clean, and in a wonderful location. They had wonderful amenities. It looked like it was really set up to kind of be like a nice hotel. It's only $1000 for a second person who wanted to stay with the person. That was a nice amenity as well. Memory care was nicely laid out. It's nice to have the locked medication inside the unit, and they were spacious."

"Manatawny Manor is nice. However, my mom is very adamant about going into any kind of place. The rooms are nice and the place is clean. They did some renovations. The staff seems very helpful and very knowledgeable. There is nothing bad I can say about it."

"Oak Hill Village was a clean facility. The room they showed me that's available right now was very nice. Some of the services were good. The people were very welcoming and the location was also nice. In general, I just had a really good feeling about the place. Liane was the one that gave me the tour along with an assistant, and she was very good at communicating the information and even provided a packet to me right away. They had an activity room at the front of the building and I was able to peek in there where they had music going on. I liked the fact that the building had a lot of glass so you could see the outdoor environment."

"I toured Autumn House East Assisted Living. I wasn't bowled over with them, but they had grounds where you pull up in the back and you see this big brick building. It's very nice to have bird feeders, benches, and flowers, though; that was nice. There's a little office when you first walk in, and everyone was so welcoming and pleasant. We even had an opportunity to talk to a couple of the residents, and they seemed happy there. The staff is very nice. Initially, my daughter and I checked it out, and once we decided that it looked pretty nice, we took my sister and had lunch there. It was a very pleasant experience. The food was tasty and there was a little fruit salad. She and I got different things; she got fish, potatoes, and mixed vegetables with a little fruit bowl and some banana cake for dessert. I got manicotti, and it came with the same vegetables. I wasn't sure that potatoes really went with manicotti, but other than that, everything was pretty tasty. As for being personable and friendly, everyone we met was super nice. The staff was top notch. The facility itself is kind of old, and the aisles were narrower. The feel is very warm and friendly throughout, but the facility is a little dated. It wasn't wild, but it wasn't awful. It was just kind of average. It's the most bang for the buck. You're getting pretty good care, it's pretty nice, and it's much less costly. (We're on a very tight budget.) They encouraged us to come back, bring my sister, and have lunch; they wanted to meet her. They have a bus that takes them to Walmart. They've done other trips like going to the York Fair, and they said they are going to go to Longwood Gardens. It just offered more that way. They do your laundry for you, and they do your house cleaning. They just seemed more active, and people seemed happy as they were walking around."
