The Best Assisted Living Communities in Forest County, PA

Windsor House at Snyder Memorial Health Care Walking through the front doors of Windsor House at Snyder Memorial Health Care Center, visitors soon discover the true definition of "home away from home." The beautiful country setting at the base of the Allegheny National Forest, in Marienville, Pennsylvania, contributes to the undeniable charm of Windsor House at Snyder Memorial. Snyder Memorial Health Care Center is Celebrating over 30 Years of Caring Traditions. Built in 1987 by John and Dorothy Masternick, Snyder Memorial Health Care Center serves residents who may require specialized wound care, intravenous therapy, tube feeding, rehabilitation, or special attention for behavioral problems due to dementia and other related conditions. We are proud of the recognition we have received from the Area Agency on Aging, local doctors, hospitals, other nursing facilities and personal care homes for our ability to manage behavioral issues that other facilities find difficult to manage. Our staff is well trained in this area which has become one of our areas of expertise. A multi-disciplinary team meets regularly to discuss effective ways of managing the care and treatment of any resident that needs special psychological attention. Psychiatric and psychological evaluations and treatments are also readily available.To learn more about this providers license and review other available state reports, please visit: Pennsylvania Department of Human Services Provider Directory

"The staff was very friendly and seemed to put the patients first. The facilities were very clean, and everyone was very helpful. Families seemed to be well accommodated as well. "

"Highland Oaks at Water Run was very clean. The facility was only seven years old, so it was newer and fresher. Their policy is that people will age in place. I liked the fact that it sat kind of out of town. There was a lot of open space, a wooded area, and a grass area around it. My parents currently live on a farm, so I feel like my dad would benefit well if he could sit outside and watch the deer and the birds. It looked like they had a lot of activities going on. When the weather permitted, they had cookouts once a week. They had several bedroom options and they had the nicest rooms in terms of layout. The staff was very friendly and helpful. She had gotten advance permission from several residents, and she took us into their rooms. And when we were getting ready to leave, there was one gentleman who just started talking to us and he wanted to show us his room. He just seemed very happy there."

"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. "

"The rooms were very nice. I decorated my moms. The nurses were excellent at keeping my family informed of my moms condition. When we finally had to bring hospice care in, my mom had dementia, they took such good care of her to make sure she was never suffering & helped us through the process as my mom passed away. There was not a single staff member who didn’t take the time to get to know us on a first name basis, or to let us know how she was everyday. We live in DuBois but the nursing homes there would not take her. Laurelbrook Landing contacted us & took her. I don’t have one bad thing to say about anyone there. We were treated with great respect as well as my mother was. "

"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."
