"I visited Autumn House West in York to see their assisted living. I'm already very familiar with the facility. A few years ago, I used to be there every week doing communions for the residents. I talked with a lady in the office who also interviewed me and was impressed with the facility and its offerings. The staff is very nice and always right on top of everything. I find the facility very clean."

"My brother has moved into Celebration Villa of York. When he had major brain surgery five years ago, he was there, and he liked the place then. We checked out four or five others, and this one is off the main road. It's also behind a grocery store and it's behind a Dollar Store or a couple of restaurants, and it's in a community where he can go out and walk on the sidewalk, so I don't have to worry about him walking on the roads. Additionally, he has trees and wild animals in the backyard, which he enjoys watching. There is also a pond, and he can go down and watch the geese there. The staff members are polite and friendly. In fact, when we visited today, the cleaning ladies were greeting him as we walked past. The place is very clean. He has two rooms, which is what he asked for. He has air conditioning. When we first started to move him over there, he was very quiet, and he didn't say anything, but his first comment when we went to visit him yesterday was, "I love the shower." He was also in a better mood than he had been in for the past couple of days. When I was watching him eat, he had corn, a filling, and a nice-sized ham slice, and he was enjoying it. He was eating it big time. He eats Pennsylvania Dutch food, but they don't serve that. I told him that I would make it for him and bring it in. They have a microwave down the hall from his room, so that he can heat it up and eat it. They have a lot of activities. They have bingo. When we were there the other day, they had a speaker talking to them about different things, and the people were interacting with him. They have a guy who comes in and plays the piano. They have a whole bunch of stuff going on. They can walk outside without worrying about getting hit by cars because it's off the main highway."

"My brother likes to walk, but at Autumn House East, there were so many corridors. Also, the traffic outside on Market Street was just a mess, and I would not trust him walking out there or crossing the street to get anywhere. With the heavy traffic, he would be splat. The place was beautiful. It was kept up very well. It was more involved with the senior center type furniture, and the people were nice. We really enjoyed visiting there. They even gave my brother ice cream and peaches. It was a nice place to visit. The staff who gave the tour was very good. I didn't see the food, but the menu looked good. The cafeteria where they go and sit at tables was nice. There were a couple of them around at different places. However, the community has a lot of halls. It covers a whole block. They have activities for them to do. They're still in the process of fixing the back for them to be able to sit outside in the yard. They have games, bingo, and stuff like that. They were working on puzzles while we were there. Most of them were sitting around and talking."

"Victorian Villa was an excellent facility. It was about an hour from my home. It seemed professional but yet home like. The people were extremely friendly. I could sense a secure atmosphere, and I would recommend anyone to visit if they were looking for a personal care home as opposed to a larger facility. The rooms were spacious. The facilities were excellent and well maintained. They had an elevator for residents who needed walkers or scooters. They had exceptional cognitive activities which I really liked. "

"The Terraces at Westminster appear to be wonderful. They were quick to respond and they were quick to set up an appointment. They came in on the weekend to show us the room. So, the facility itself is beautiful, clean, and luxurious. Everyone we met has been super kind and willing to work with us. It's clean and it's just a great location."

"My wife is a resident of Paramount Senior Living at Lancaster County Paramount. The people that take care of her really like all the patients that they have. They are very friendly. The place is a really nice place, but it's too far away from us. It's the same food that they give you in the hospital. The food is okay. The facility is very clean. They have guess-that-tune and another one is religious activities. They take them out for tours around the area. They had quite a few activities. The room is pretty good size and the layout is okay, too. The atmosphere is okay."

"I toured Nova Springs. The rooms were nice and big. It was all neat, orderly, and clean. The staff who toured me was a lady that was the manager also. The building was very clean. It had a very welcoming atmosphere. It was like walking into a motel or hotel where somebody was greeting you. The dining area was spacious. It had tables and tablecloths on them. It had decorations making it look homey. I only saw one room and the staff said they were all practically alike. They were very spacious. They had a TV, a bathroom, and a nice-sized bathroom. You didn't have to come out of the tub or the shower and hit the commode. There's plenty of room in the bathroom."

"Oak Hill Village is the one closest to my budget. It's a good facility and economical, and it has a good program. I would be happy there, but I'm not ready for it now. They took me to several apartments to look at and gave me the application and information on the facility. I had that contact person to call when I'm ready, and she calls like once or twice a year just to see how I am. The apartments were good, clean, and ready to see. They were empty apartments. The staff was friendly and always available to answer questions. She did a great job. The staff, from the receptionist to the person who was giving me the tour, was friendly."

"I toured Juniper Village at Mount Joy. It's a feeling when you go in, everything looks clean and neat and very accommodating. The only negative would have been the cost, the location, and the room arrangement. It was with a couple and we're looking for a suite and they couldn't do that. I was looking for two living spaces and they could only offer a suite in assisted living. The staff was great."

"I toured Paramount Senior Living at Chambersburg. It's an absolutely beautiful setting. It's in the mountains. The grounds were spacious, wooded, and well-kept. The independent living area was very nice. The apartments there are large and all one-bedroom. They're very spacious. The staff who accommodated us was the manager of the facility, and she was informative, positive, and very helpful. The dining area for independent living was small but very clean. They were in the process of cooking dinner, which smelled very good. They had bingo activities. They had trips to the local theaters. I can't remember everything that was on the activity list, but it was a very full activity from what I remember. If I could convince my mother to move in there today, I would."

"On July 20, 2023 my dad had a fall. After being hospitalized and inpatient rehab, we felt he needed 30 days in assisted living. This was devastating to us both as my dad is very independent. Melissa jumped in and made the process of having dad placed at Viva so comforting. Anytime, I need anything Melissa and Millie are always there fore me along with the other staff. I cannot say enough about Viva and their staff, they make you feel like family. "

"My relative will move into Harmony at West Shore. We chose it because it is most similar to what she's living in in Florida, and the location is very good. It's only about a mile from where I live, so I can be with her. The independent unit is very nice. The enclosed balcony gives a nice view, and the dining room is restaurant-style. The staff who gave the tour was very friendly and knowledgeable, took their time with us, and showed us the options. The community appeared to be very clean and well-maintained."

"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 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."

"My in-laws stayed at Columbia Cottage Hanover. It looked like a large house. It did not look like a facility, the decor, the wallpaper, just the way that it was set up. You feel like you're in a big house when you walk in, which to me is very comfortable and it was very fresh smelling. The food was great and the care. My father-in-law had dementia and they would let him assist them in the office. He thought he was at work and they gave him great attention. The care there was excellent. I had mashed potatoes and gravy and chicken. It was not like a lot of facilities I've seen. It looked like real food. It tasted like real food. There were family events. There were a lot of activities outdoors. I saw people participating in the common area. The beauty of the place made me feel like I was not in a facility. I liked the homey look. Everybody had a wreath on their door and it wasn't all the same wreath. When you went in, he had an area right inside the door where to the left was a bathroom, and to the right was his bed right inside the door. A few more steps past the door, it was like an L-shaped, and he had two easy chairs there. It was his own furniture. Everybody could take their own furniture. He had his own recliners, shelving with the TV, and his family pictures on the shelving."

"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. "

"We went to Homewood at Plum Creek. They have the villas, they have the cottages, and then they have the apartments and the care in the big building. It's beautiful. It's very nice. It is in a farm setting. It's very pretty. However, it was a distance for us. Also, they didn't have any available end units, which is what we would have taken if available. The people were very nice. They explained everything and showed you all the stuff you could have with your place. They had a pool, an exercise room, and a library. They had a lot to offer. It was immaculate, too. We looked at the cottages because that's what we were interested in. The cottages were fine; there were nice-sized rooms. They have two bedrooms, two baths, a living room, a kitchen, and a patio."

"My sister-in-law is in Sharon's Personal Care Home. I like it because it's like she's in a home. It's an actual house. There are only like 20 tenants there. Her room is nice. It's two beds in one room, but it's good sized. It has a fireplace in it, but it doesn't work. They can't burn it, but it's a beautiful room. The staff is very nice. It's a mile from where we live, so we're there three or four times a week, and we've never had a problem. She's always been taken care of and she seems happy there. She goes down for three meals a day. They take care of her meds and they take care of everything for her. We like it. I've been there when they're having lunch and dinner, and it looks like they're home-cooked meals. They have a big kitchen there and they go out and they buy fresh food and fresh produce and they sit them all down for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They play bingo. Once or twice a week they have entertainment, a singer, storyteller, magician, or whatever they bring in. They seem to keep them busy. They won't let them stay in their rooms. They make them come down for the meals, so they can't just hang out and vegetate in their rooms. I haven't seen any problems. It is nice and clean. They still haven't gotten everything back from the COVID era. They do a lot, but they could do a little more. It wasn't the cheapest one that we found, but it was the best for the money. We looked at a lot of places and this is the one that we liked and settled with."
