"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 mother-in-law moved into Senior Commons at Powder Mill. We chose it for a couple of factors, the first is proximity to her home, it's within five miles of her house, and the second one is the amenities, the staff, and how caring they seem to be and how friendly they were. Everybody that I've met has been great. They've been very helpful to us. They've been very helpful to my mother-in-law. They're attentive. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff. They've got an activity room where there are things like puzzles, and cards with the other residents. There's one room that has a little shuffleboard game, a basketball game, and things like that. But then they also do outings. So today my mother-in-law is going on a nature outing that the facility is doing."

"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."

"Amoroso Wellness at York was a nice place. It felt more like a nice place you would want to live and visit. It wasn't depressing at all. We talked to some of the people that live there, and they told us how much they liked it. The food was good. Their outside area was nice. They have patios and a walking area. You could push your walker around on it and get exercise. They have a balcony-patio thing that's big. It's like a coffee shop kind of place. None of the rooms that we saw had any cooking appliances. Some had a balcony, and they were the more expensive ones. They weren't tiny rooms and they had nice furniture in there. The staff who took us around was very knowledgeable about any questions that we asked her. She was able to answer them, and she didn't seem pushy but very friendly. People as we went around knew her. They were saying hi to her and stuff. The building was well maintained. It didn't stink. Everything looked clean and organized. There was nice furniture everywhere, even in the common sitting areas."

"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. "

"I toured Celebration Villa of Dillsburg. I was very impressed with the friendliness, the cleanliness, and just the overall appearance of the place. They seemed like they had a really nice program. They had six levels of care. I felt that if my husband worked out there, that might be a place where he could progress if needed. He needs help with feeding, toileting, and bathing, and they seemed to be fine with that. The single rooms were very lovely. I think I can live in one if I had to. Everybody looked very happy. I had a very good feeling about it. They seemed very comfortable. It had a club-like feeling. It didn't have that nursing home feel or smell. Everybody has their own rooms and they do two-hour checks on them at night. No matter what their needs are, they do that. I just felt like he would be very safe there, and very cared for. They've actually reached out to me twice and offered meals or anything else we might need in the meantime. I just got a really good feeling for the place. The one thing I really liked about this place is I asked the staff how much time I would need to give them when I would need a respite, and he said 48 hours. There were people sitting outside, and I even met some of the people that work there, and they were very friendly and nice."

"I have been a resident here at the Lorien in Taneytown for over a year now. I can't get over how friendly and willing to help the staff is, every department and every shift. I moved here with my dog, who is the Queen of the facility. Every one knows her: staff, residents & regular visitor alike are all greeted by the white dog who lives with me. We both enjoy the activities especially the music. I fell in love with the courtyard on my first visit, it reminds me of the gardens I visited in Paris."

"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."

"I toured Oak Hill Village. It was very nice. They didn't have a one-bedroom or a studio apartment. My sister would only have been able to get a one-bedroom place, but it was more money than what she could afford. The staff who gave the tour was very nice though. They're very good people."

"I toured Legend at Silver Creek. I liked the feel of the vibe. It had a good vibe. It wasn't so big that you felt lost. There was a feeling of community. It's relatively new, so that always makes you feel better and it just feels like some place you'd want to move to. This lady was extremely thorough, and she's ready to fight maybe for different reasons, but I certainly don't think she rushed us through there."

"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."

"My father moved into Brookdale Grandon Farms. It just seemed like the best fit for him. Everyone that I spoke with has helped me a lot through this whole process. I couldn't have done it without them. His room is very nice and very spacious. He's in a one room by himself, and they keep it clean. They take care of the property. The staff has been wonderful. They're good with the residents. You can tell that the residents like them, and they have a good relationship with each other. So far, I don't have a complaint about any of them. The food is very good. They do dog therapy twice a week. They have exercise, yoga, and music."

"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."
