Assisted Living Communities in Hazleton, PA

"The Palmerton was very organized. We had to sign in upon arrival, and we had to log our temperature. We had to wear masks and there was a questionnaire about COVID. The facilities were spotless. Everything was absolutely immaculate. They had different sized rooms. The smaller rooms seemed a little cramped. The larger rooms were decent sized, but they're immaculate. They had walk-in showers and grab rails. In terms of interactions, we were very impressed. The gentleman who took us on the tour, as we walked around, was talking with everyone. Everyone knew him, and he knew the residents by name. There were residents out and about and actively engaged in activities. There seemed to be a sense of life there, which we were happy to see. The people who worked in different departments took time out of what they were doing to talk to us. My mother-in-law needs a pureed diet and the staff spoke to us about it. She explained that it would not be a problem. She answered our questions. We spoke to the speech therapist, their activities director, and the physical therapist. They all took time out of what they were doing to talk to us, asked questions, and answered any questions we had. They're very accommodating. We were very impressed."

"We have found a place for my mother, and we have chosen Brookdale Bloomsburg. So far, it looks good. They seem to check all the boxes off of what we need for my mother. She needs to have 24/7 care, and it looks like they're going to provide that. So, we are very much looking forward to this care that she's going to receive there. It looked very clean. Everything was in order. The staff was very friendly. The dining hall looked very good. There were residents walking around somewhere in the lobby. They were greeting guests as they came in. The room that Mom will have everything that she needs. We're pretty pleased, and we're looking forward to having Mom move in so that we can know that she's safe. The staff who assisted us, Andrea, was very knowledgeable. We met the nurse, and she seemed to be on top of all of Mom's needs and all of her medicines, so we're pretty confident that they will be professional and taking good care of our mom. The only activity we observed was the activity director giving one of the guests a manicure and painting her nails, so we haven't seen anything else. We haven't been there that much. They have a lot of things like playing bingo and getting the residents involved in things. This is going to be important for us so our mom doesn't just sit in her room and do nothing. Her room is small, but it's big enough that she will be able to have her bed, her recliner, her TV, and her dresser. She has a bathroom and a closet, so it will be pretty good. It should suit all of her needs for now."

"My cousin moved in. They treat him well, he's got a clean place, and the people are nice. If I go there, they wanna talk, or if I ever wanted to. They acknowledged me when I entered the building, so it was a pleasant environment. The rooms are very clean, they're remodeling the place he's in. He has a roommate. They have an adjoining bathroom with the other floor. So far, my cousin is very happy there. He enjoys the food, he goes to the dining room three times a day. They have a nice kitchen staff, they can sit where they want to sit. They have a calendar that's set up in the hallways and every little thing is going on. But my cousin doesn't get involved in any kind of social activities. They have a room with a big TV and everything. They have a barber that comes in once a week, and you just need to make an appointment."

"We looked at numerous facilities before deciding upon Cornerstone for my mother's care. Many of these facilities were beautiful, but somehow cold. Cornerstone on the other hand is very homey and warm. We were able to decorate my mother's room to make it truly hers. They continue to make upgrades to the facility, but aside from the facility the staff is wonderful. They have a dedicated staff that truly cared for my mother. It is a hard decision to place a parent with dementia, but I know that I made the right one when I chose Cornerstone. "

"My wife's grandparents were at Serenity Gardens. They had an apartment there. The people who work there were incredibly professional, caring, and very interested in the comfort and happiness of their guests. We were very pleased with the time that my wife's grandparents stayed there. They never had any hesitation to help them. It was a very well-run organization. The staff was very nice. It was evident that they cared about cleanliness and maintenance. It was a very nice facility. It's a good location. The value for the money was good."

"The rooms were clean and comfortable. They were very accommodating with what the patient would eat. The staff was helpful and friendly and could not go out of their way to take care of my mom."

"Fritzingertown Senior Living Community was excellent. The care was wonderful. I never, ever worried about my father's care down there. I was immediately aware of anything that happened. They just went out of their way. There were so many nursing staff there, and the care level was excellent. My dad was like one of their own, and that was how they made everyone feel; like he was family. It was extremely clean. They went into the rooms daily and cleaned them. The place was immaculate. The only thing my father complained a little about was sometimes he didn't like the menu. They didn't have a wide range of options if they didn't like what was on the main meal, but they accommodated them to the best that they could. "

"I went to Providence Place Senior Living of Drums (Hazleton). It is a very beautiful community. Every room is repainted and perfect when you move in. They have a very friendly staff there. They have various apartments that you can do. It doesn't matter what level of care you are in. They have different levels of care from one to four. You can stay in the same apartment no matter how much extensive care as you get older you may need. They have different-sized rooms and apartments. The food is more like home-cooked food, and a lot of like Italian things. The care has been excellent as far as what she needs. They have physical therapy onsite, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and a lot of activities. They have a bus. They go on trips. They can go to a store or they sometimes go to a movie or I believe they went to a play, different things like that. So they run a bus for a trip with that. They'll take people to doctor's appointments and things within a certain radius. They have an in-house doctor. They have nurses on staff. They distribute the medications if they need help with that. So, overall, they pretty much do everything anyone could need. And, they have a chapel there. My friend sometimes complains that the food is salty."

"Although a few years ago since my grandfather passed, I still remember visiting him at this facility and am so grateful of his placement there. We spent every holiday we could eating in the dining room and were pleased to see the owners and their children stopping by to wish everyone merry Christmas and say a prayer with us. My grandfather went from being home alone without much social stimulation to an environment where he could interact with wonderful staff and residents, which he loved. I am a social worker in a nursing facility myself and still look back at this facility as exactly what you'd want for your loved one. "

"Hometown Nursing was highly recommended by our pastor and members of the church. I have been there a few times, and everybody thinks highly of it. It’s clean, it's on one floor, and they have lots of activities -- at least a once a month church service. It’s got good reports, and the rooms that I have seen were clean. "

"I can't adequately express my appreciation for the kindness and caring from staff and management that my mom has received while in the nursing facility. The Administrator was diligent in communicating information and discussing the care and treatment plan, so we were in agreement. The mission appears to be caring about each resident as you might a family member as opposed to thinking only abt the money aspect. The team was fantastic. I could call or visit any time. The social worker went out of her way to set up an I pad so I could face time with my mom. The care was phenomenal. For the first time in a few months (I moved her to Smith from another facility that fell way below expectations and where the care was really inadequate and subpar), my mom was like a human being again- smiling, happy, reading a book, feeling safe and secure with a definite reduction in negative health issues. When I first toured the facility, I was impressed with the colors in the rooms and set up. It made you feel tranquil, comfortable and less stressed. Each resident has a recliner chair to relax and feel better and the staff is very attentive. My mom really enjoys the time outside in the garden and the other fun activities, such as ice cream social. Sooo my mom has improved enough to move over to the personal care side and is happy. I can't thank the owner and administrators and staff enough. I can finally rest that she is in good hands and be able to sleep at night. THANK YOU, SMITH HEALTHCARE!!"

"Mountain Top Senior Care & Rehab Center is a good place. They take good care of Mom and she seems to be doing very well there. She's been happy. I like it and she likes it. Right now, she has a private room, so she has a great room. Whenever I go there, everything's fine. The food is good. She likes it and the people that are there. I would recommend them. For what we're paying, the value is good."
