Assisted Living Communities in Hermitage, PA

"I will have to admit, when I first visited my grandfather at the facility, I had terrible images running through my head. As I made my to the front door, I was greeted by a smiling face which instantly caused me to lower my guard! My grandfather was not always the easiest person to get along with, but after watching the way the staff catered to his every need, I was more than just taken back! They (the staff and nurses) really seemed to care. They even offered me dinner when I was there! I think another reason O'Brien Healthcare was so nice was due to the amount of windows they had! A lot of daylight could be seen and I think that helps ones mood when it comes to helping the ill. "

"Liberty Arms is a beautiful place. However, they didn't seem to think they can handle my mom's needs. It was kind of they've already made up their mind before they came to see her. And I know they gave her a very good evaluation. The rooms there were kind of odd-shaped with an odd setup. The staff would make sure everybody gets down to the dining room during meal time, and if somebody is missing they'll go look for them. Or if someone would need assistance they'll take them to the dining area. "

"The best part of the facility is the food. I find the dietary staff is always accommodating when we visit mom. The food is excellent quality and superb service. Overall I’m very pleased with the care but I feel the activities available are lacking. Thank you to all the staff at shenango on the green. "

"My mom will move into Shepherd Of The Valley Liberty. I like the cleanliness, the programs available, and the proximity to my home. The staff who assisted the tour were very thorough and kind to my mother. We've had several tours, and they have been very thorough. The food was served attractively, and it tasted fine. The size of the room and bathroom was very spacious."

"Levy Gardens was the perfect fit for my aunt. The staff is so kind and attentive, they were like family to her. Her apartment was huge! All of the apartments have a walk-in-closet in the bedroom , and another coat closet in the living room. Her bedroom was separated from the living room with a door, which made it nice when family visited and stayed the night. There was always so much for her to do. They had musical entertainers, lots of fun outings every week, and a massage therapist and yoga instructor. There is a garden in the back where my aunt planted peppers in the summer. The food was great and every apartment had a full kitchen if she every wanted to cook something herself. It is on the same campus as the Jewish Community Center, and everyone that lives there has access to the center and their Silver Sneakers classes. They have 2 vehicles with the nicest drivers in town who would take my aunt wherever she needed to go- to the doctor's office, the beauty shop, shopping. It is a really great place for seniors and I would recommend it to anyone who asks! Levy Gardens is the Best!"

"We toured Park Vista. It was an excellent facility, but it was terribly expensive. They also have a one-bedroom apartment and probably even more activities for the residents. "

"The director at Jameson Place was very knowledgeable. She gave me a tour of the entire facility and explained how things worked. Everything was super clean. Every time a resident leaves, everything is fully refurbished and renovated. The facility was very nice. My father thought it was beautiful and said that when it was time, that's where he would like to go. Their meals are all homemade. They have a couple of alternate menus, in case the residents don't want what's being served that day. They also have a full refrigerator stocked and a pantry stocked in case the residents get hungry or skipped a meal. It's just at their disposal whenever they want it, which I thought was very, very nice. The rooms were very nice. The 1-bedroom was what we were interested in and it was bigger than I thought it would be. It was actually the size of a small apartment. The kitchen area was just enough for someone who doesn't have access to cooking. The living area was enough to set up an actual living room. The closet space was very nice, so he could bring some mementos with him if he wanted to. The cleanliness was spotless, but the facilities were a little dated."

"I was a patient at the care center. I was there for rehabilitation after a total knee. The staff, nurses and aides were friendly, caring and respectful towards me The rooms were clean. Granted they were short staffed but they got the job done. The food that I received was pretty good. I had physical therapy every day while there. They may have pushed me to do my very best but had they not done that I wouldn't be where I am now. Very thankful that they did. The activities director made it a point to stop by my room and introduce herself to me and provided me with a schedule of upcoming activities. I enjoyed talking with all who work there. I'm very thankful that I could do my rehab there with them. "

"We had a good experience with the Suites at Continuing Healthcare of Niles. It was really nic, everyone was great, and I was really happy with the place. I wanted my grandparents to stay. They were very nice, very accommodating, and the facility was beautiful. My grandfather needed help with pretty much everything including bathing, and meds. My grandparents didn't complain about the food, the dining area was really nice, it's really homey, like a restaurant setting, and wasn't like a hospital, which was nice. My grandpa was partaking in card playing amongst the other patients. They offered arts and crafts, but he didn't enjoy it as much."

"Newly remodeled, cheerful looking, big screen TV in main living room and clean attractive suites. I like that it is locally owned and operated. The outside has a very nice porch with very attractive landscaping on the grounds. "

"I did not meet a lot of the staff other than the one who assisted me. She gave me a lot of material and explained how they have apartments that you can move in to. She explained all kinds of levels of care. It would be for my husband and me. St Paul Homes has homes that you could almost design yourself. They talked about the activities that they have. They say they take people who need to go to shop or events in the community on cars or buses. I've spoken to some people who live there. They have a person who showed me around her room. In the building where she lives, they all had small apartments with a bedroom and living room. The laundry room is communal down the hall. These were people who were quite able bodied that just didn't want to live alone. This woman has been there for eight years or so, and she couldn't say enough good things about the place. She apparently has time to volunteer, so she goes over to the Alzheimer's unit a couple of times a week. She assists over there in whatever way that she can. It is quite a large facility. I think I'll give it a pretty high score. Having been a social worker myself a few years ago, I saw a lot of facilities. I saw how nurses and staff work and how things got done or didn't get done. A lot of years ago, my mother was in another facility, and this place has really no comparison. "

"Paisley House was a beautiful facility, but it was not as big or extensive as the other community we chose. The staff was very helpful and informative. They have a dog that stays in there, which is nice. Their dining area was not big, but it was warm and inviting. "

"This home has helped me a lot. They help me with my medicine, and doctors the workers care about me. This is my home. A good home. I have lived here since 1989. "

"We enrolled my grand mother into the assisted care facility called Shepard of the valley. Despite it costing more than we expected it was worth it. They are able to tailor care specifically for her needs that we can not. With a variety of activities for her to do, and many people for her to socialize with, she has said many times that she is happy with the care that she receives. It's not very far from our home so we can visit her often. They even provide her transportation when we aren't able to get her where she needs to go. Overall I would recommend assisted living care for anyone who has too much to deal with already. By no means should you feel guilty. It is better to give your loved one proper care then poor quality care. It was a tough decision but this location worked out best for everyone. "
