Assisted Living Communities in Hershey, PA

"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."

"The assisted living facility at Celebration Villa of Lebanon is awesome. It's just a nice place, and the staff seem very friendly. You have everything that you would need inside the apartment. They also provide three meals a day. The person who took me around the tour was very nice. They have outdoor spaces with benches and stuff like that. The facility is very clean, too."

"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."

"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 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 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."

"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 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."

"The staff were extremely great to be around. Since it’s a small community everyone got to know each other and it was very fun to see my grandma get to be cheerful and lively during her last few months there. It was everything we needed for her. I knew she was in great hands seeing the staff welcome her with open arms. For being a small community, it sure is a wonderful place to be at."

"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. "
