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!"

"Park Vista of Youngstown was awesome. All the amenities that they have were excellent. It's very well kept and it's very nice around the entire place. I love it. I just hope my dad loves it. The person took me around everything. Everything was so nice and clean. The staff said that if dad wants to move into one of the places, then it'll be repainted. The one we saw was already repainted and recarpeted, and I liked the place. They're very friendly and helpful. They gave me lots of information and they gave me the folder. They said that if they had to, they would work with my dad on the price also. I think the menu was awesome, and I think my dad's gonna like it also. He's a chef though, so he's probably going to want to cook for himself a lot of times. They were getting ready for a pizza party or something like that when we were there. The rooms were pretty spacious for one person."

"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. "

"My sister moved to St. Paul's Senior Living Community. The staff is excellent. They are very attentive and the ratio of staff to patients is very good. The memory care facility has only ten patients in it right now, and they typically have between three or four nurses on staff. They have an excellent kitchen right on the floor just down the hall from the patient room. The food is very good. The kitchen staff is very attentive. They help patients get the food and help service them if they want. If they are not able to go to the dining area, they'll bring the food to the room. They encourage all the patients to go to join them for the activities. They don't force them to go but they strongly encourage them to go out and be with other people. They play games and puzzles. The facility is extremely clean and very well-kept. The grounds are very large and have lots of greenery."

"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. "

"My grandmother was a resident of Shepherd of the Valley-Niles. It's more like a hospital, although it has church services and things. I wasn't as close to the staff there compared to its sister community. They were very busy, and I think they didn't have as many staff members. The churches are so involved, so it's very nice, and I don't really have anything negative to say. What stood out to me was the fact that my grandmother can go to church there, and that meant a lot to her. In terms of activities, any music program that came in, any volunteer that came with a cookie cart, and anything that entertained her was much appreciated. They serve three meals a day, they have some therapy, and my mother went outside a little bit."
