Assisted Living Communities in Hanover, PA

"My mother has moved into Paramount Senior Living at Lancaster County. She's in memory care. I'm just getting to learn the staff, although they've been pretty attentive to her. Her room is very accommodating. Maintenance and upkeep are very good. The dining area is nice. I haven't tried the food, but she's eating. They have a fitness center right there. There are plenty of activities that are going on, so they keep her pretty busy. They have a courtyard for her. The staff is caring and attentive. I would recommend it."

"We took a quick tour to Nova Springs and I thought it was a little bit on the dated side. The rooms were all right. It was in a good location and it was reasonably priced. You didn't have to put so much of an initial fee. The staff I met was friendly and knowledgeable. A friend of mine lives there and he seems to be content."

"Oak Hill Village is really pretty, nice, and neat. The employees are all very nice to me. My husband is in personal care right now. His room is big and beautiful. I took a big recliner, a dresser, his TV, and two small tables. Some of the residents have their own rooms looking like their own living rooms at home. They are really pretty. They have a room where I've seen them playing cards and I've seen activity sheets up at the doors in his room that says they do ice cream nights and there are days where they all go outside in their courtyard."

"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. "

"My father-in-law is in The Village of Laurel Run. They have nurses on staff, and doctors come in from time to time. I like the place. The staff seems very attentive. I think the place is pretty well run. He went there from the hospital basically for rehab. There’s a rehab facility that gets people to exercise and work with them so they can be able to get back to their own homes. The room that he’s in has two beds with a full curtain in-between. They have two males in the same room, an adjustable bed, and one bathroom for the two people. "

"Wow, I was impressed as soon as I walked in to the community. Everyone was so friendly and the residents were engaged and happy. Had a great tour and all of my questions were answered. I would definitely recommend the community and it's at the top of my list! "

"If I had the money, Harmony at West Shore is where we'd go. There are other ones that we looked at, but this place just stood out to me. It's very nice. Their two-bedroom, two-bath apartments are wonderful, but a little too high for comfort. They have a refrigerator, a microwave, and a stove. One thing that impressed me the most was their kitchen. They have a washer and dryer, too. The staff who toured us around was very nice. She was relatively young, which is very nice. She calls every now and then."

"I liked the location of The Red Door Assisted Living. It was very close to my house. The meals are included and my father would have had his own room. They provide activities and transportation. The staff was very nice and very thorough. It's a tough decision to make and the lady there helped us through that process pretty nicely, even though we didn't end up going there. The community was a little outdated. It's a little small, but that didn't bother me (I think it probably would bother some people). I thought a smaller place was better. The other good thing about their place is they didn't have any stairs. It was all on one level. So, it would have been easy for my father to get around."

"My first impression of Cross Keys was that it was good. They offered different levels of care. They have independent living, assisted living, and advanced care. They also have exercise equipment and a swimming pool. We had a meal when we went there, and it was fine. We looked an apartment there, and it was about the same size of the house we are living in now. "

"My mom moved into Tree Of Life Personal Care. We like the staff. They're very accommodating. It's in our hometown where my brothers and sisters can visit Mom. They don't have to drive an extended distance away, so it works out well. They have three meals every day. The main meal is around lunchtime, at 12. They do have a light breakfast. They have the main meal in the middle of the day. They are not as heavy as a meal for supper, but a good selection of stuff. The cleanliness is very good. They have games and different crafts. They could improve on physical walks outside the building, not so much a gymnasium, but something to get the people out and about in the community, and take a nice walk."

"Words can't express the appreciation we have for Columbia Cottage Hanover. Because of your leadership, mom enjoyed her time at Columbia Cottage. Our family will continue to recommend Columbia Cottage Hanover to anyone who would benefit from residing there. You and your staff provided peace of mind for us during mom's final years. Thank you "

"Everyone has a opinion and their own way at looking at things. So are the reviews of Fair Haven. The facility is older but is well maintained. It’s kept clean and organized. My mother-in-law entered Fair Haven over two years ago. From day one she was welcomed and treated with respect. Eleanor the owner try’s to operate the facility the way it needs to be operated. There are rules the state says must be followed. This is what must people see Eleanor taking care of. Every place like this sees a higher level of turn around when it comes to employees. People do not realize what it takes to be a caretaker of someone who has special needs. They enter into it thinking it will be easy and then realize it’s actually work. Back to my mother-in-law. She enjoyed being there. They have activities for the residents to participate in. There is something pretty much every day . Everything from bingo to crafts to bible study. Also volunteers come in for different activities. They took very good care of my mother-in-law. Even when she started slowing down they did not leave her behind or left out. They adjusted what needed to be done. My mother-in-law had a dramatic turn downwards. It was quick and sudden. They did not bat an eye to what needed to be done. They went over and above. It was my mother-in-law’s home and that was the way they treated her. In my opinion they did a great job. You need to form your own opinion. "

"Homewood At Plum Creek is a very nice facility. They offer a lot of good services and they seem very professional. It seemed very clean and well-kept. They were responsive to my mother's inquiries and the people we met while walking through were very friendly. The rooms were very nice. We visited one of the bungalow cottages and it's a very nice layout and very accessible to any type of physical capability."

"I toured Sharon's Personal Care Home, and the lady that took me through wasn't the owner because she wasn't around, but she showed me through. Most of the places were for two people and I didn't want to share a room. I wanted a room of my own. To get up to some of the rooms, I would have to use a chair lift. I asked, "What about a fire?" and she showed me that it went right out to the outside upstairs, so that was fine. When I was getting desperate, I thought I'd have to take anything I could get, so I called back out, and she wasn't there again. They said they'd have to call me back, which they did not. Some of the rooms were nice, and there were some that I would have been interested in. There was a nice sitting room upstairs, but downstairs there was no sitting room that I saw. The staff was very nice. She did the cooking and everything. That's the only person I saw that worked there. She was very informative. She tried, but she was there by herself, and she had her hands full."
