"My father-in-law has moved into Linden Village Senior Living Community. Everybody is friendly there. It's close to where we live, so that's a plus. They are very helpful. My father-in-law's room has a bed and dressers. If you want a TV, you have to provide your own, which is fine. They provide soap, towels, sheets, and all the linens and stuff. The staff members are very nice and very helpful. They gave us a calendar for the whole month of July and all the activities that are going on. They have a big courtyard so they can go out. They have an awning out on the porch."

"We can't say enough about Celebration Villas. The care the staff shows is real. They really make you feel like your at home, not institutionalized. Great activities which family members are invited to participate in if they'd like. Our family member went from being at a place where he was inactive and zombie- like, to where he dances, plays bingo, went along to a baseball game they arranged and more. He also tells me the food is great! Most important is that he is happy. So glad he's there. Grateful thank you to the entire staff"

"Juniper Village at Lebanon was nice. It's just too much money. The staff during the visit was great. The dining area was fine. The facility was beautiful and clean. The rooms were nice."

"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 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."

"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 Harmony at West Shore. It wasn't as large as the other facility, so that felt a little less overwhelming. It's very clean. They have a great two living spaces for assisted living. It was a better feeling. It was not quite as small and cozy as the other facility, but I put it down in my list of top five. If someone was looking for assisted living, it was definitely worth a look. I was satisfied with the staff."

"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."

"My Great-Uncle has been living at Oak Leaf Manor (Landisville) for about a year. I have visited him at least twice a week since he has been there, so I am very familiar with Oak Leaf. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and well maintained. There is plenty of outside seating including two gazebo's. There is also an outside picnic area and nice walkways for the residents. The interior is wonderfully decorated for whatever season it happens to be. There is also a water fountain inside that is quite nice so sit around and relax. The dining room is nicely laid out and the food is good. The residents rooms are spacious and clean. The staff at Oak Leaf Manor is very friendly and caring. If any problems arise, the staff do their best to accommodate you as quickly as possible. There are a lot of activities for the residents, including BINGO, a theater room, scenic bus rides, crafts, and veterans activities. Overall Oak Leaf Manor has a very comfortable friendly atmosphere. If you are looking for a home for a loved one who can no longer live alone, I highly recommend Oak Leaf Manor. "

"My mother will be moving into Legend of Lititz. We chose it because of the proximity to where she lives now, the amenities that they offer, the price, and because a room opened up. I liked the friendliness and the welcoming attitude. The only staff members I met so far have been the social worker and the secretary. They offer a lot. A movie theater, a salon for haircare, and podiatrists are all available. The dining room was set up almost like a restaurant. It seemed really nice."

"I visited Autumn House East. The gentleman was very helpful and very nice, but they don't do long-term care like my relative needs. He needs full care. He needs a Hoyer lift and two people, getting in and out of bed and the bathroom, and they don't do that. They're just assisted living. The residents there were walking with walkers or needing help with walking, but it seemed like they were in pretty good shape. It's very friendly. The gentleman knows people living there by the first name and says hi to them. Nothing like what my brother-in-law is in now. It's very clean. I wouldn't be afraid to stay there if I had to. I know other people that were there, and that's how I can sort of rate it pretty good. They were residents until they got too bad, they had to go to a nursing home."

"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."

"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."
