Assisted Living Communities in Forest Hills, PA

"It is just a great place. It's small, but very clean. The people are very caring, loving, and compassionate; couldn't be nicer. Her room has a bed and a chair. They have two activity coordinators. They showed movies to the residents, and they have arts and crafts. Sunday was my mother's 101st birthday, and we had a party for her. I'm very lucky I found them, and they take excellent care of her. It's better for her there than here at home."

"Donna T, the activities director, is wonderful. She truly makes things fun and lovely for the residents. She is very positive and is very interactive with everyone."

"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 My mom asked questions, although she didn't ask very many because she knew, and I could tell just from how she was withdrawn that she was like, "No, this is not going to work for me."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."

"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."

"Whitetail Springs Assisted Living and Memory Care is a beautiful place. The people are friendly. It's a very nice facility. The staff showed me a room that my parents would share and then talked about different ways they could care for them. It's clean and pretty. It seems like there is a lot to do. Everyone seemed happy. The staff during the tour was very nice, friendly, and helpful. Everything looked nice, clean, and new. The room was clean, new, updated, and had adequate space."

"I’m here at Paramount Senior Living at South Hills. I have a large one-bedroom with a lot of furniture from home. It may not have the menus that other places have but here you have room. They have a gazebo, nice grounds, a lot of bingo, and poker some nights. They have a little garden club, and the other day, we went to the meadow. They go to Walmart once in a while. There’s a doctor across the street but the doctor I go to weekly is in Coraopolis and the daughter of one of the aides here drives me to Coraopolis and back. They serve three meals."

"Overlook Green is very professional, and the overall place is bright and inviting. They inspired confidence that my mother-in-law would be well taken care of. My husband had dinner there, and he said it was great. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and experienced. "

"I like Mount Vernon of Elizabeth because it's close to where I live. It was just a nice facility. The staff were also nice. They took us around and showed us the room. It's really friendly for seniors and people who have had a stroke. They keep them secure so they can't get out or wander. They have a lot of activities. "

"Our tour at Brookdale Mt. Lebanon was wonderful and very complete. It's a wonderful place to be if you can afford it. They have lots to do and they seem to take care of their people well. Everybody seems to be entertained and the food situation is wonderful. The people we've dealt with were wonderful. It's a lot larger than most facilities and the apartments are larger."

"I toured Harmony at Harts Run, and Dominique was the one we saw. She's pretty young and seems she knows her stuff pretty well. The facility is brand new. Everything's brand new in the place, it's a big place so they are a little more expensive. That was the biggest negative on it, the expense. They have a one-year reset contract and a move-in fee. They have some extra costs for incontinence issues, which is one of the things I'm concerned about. It's unfurnished, you supply your TVs and stuff like that, but they have lots of activities. They have a nice dining room. They have staff nurses on-site and it's a pretty nice facility. They have a salon, a TV room, and a little theater if I'm not mistaken. They have activities rooms, and a large court, where in the summertime people can be outside and yet they're still protected. On the first floor, they have a memory care area. So that's pretty nice because then there are no elevators and other things to deal with. The biggest drawback of that for us is just the location. It's a little far out of the way."

"We've been very pleased with Paramount Senior Living-Bethel. The price was good, the facility was good, and they seemed to know their residents. The process of applying was relatively simple. They have a nice activities area where they show movies, and they have a couple nice lounge areas where people can sit and talk and have get togethers, like ice cream socials and happy hour. They have a little cafe type setting where there's coffee, water, juices, and fruits available all the time. They offer transportation. They have a beauty parlor, a podiatrist, a doctor that comes in, and nurses on each floor. It's very well kept, very open, there are a lot of windows, it's bright and cheery, the dining area is quite beautiful, and well kept, with linens on the table, and the food is good. I stayed there for two days to help acclimate my aunt who has Alzheimer's. I was there 24/7 and everybody worked really hard. There was nobody sitting around just chatting. They were very friendly and caring, and went out of their way to come and introduce themselves. She's in the independent care with just some medication management."

"I have nothing but praise for all of these employees. They are always cheerful, patient and glad to help. They even get a message to my dad when he doesn't answer the phone. There are plenty of activities and my father is happy with the food. "

"My mother-in-law has been in The Haven at North Hills for a week now. We chose them for the price. It seems like you're getting a lot for your dollar. They seem to keep everything clean. The staff may not be the friendliest at times, but that seems to be on and off. Food is OK. It's nothing great. They have large rooms that are clean. They're currently updating, and they're making the place very convenient. We haven't really tried their amenities except for the activities. They have a really great activities director, who is very friendly and fun. They have virtual yoga, game nights, and movies."
