Assisted Living Communities in Lancaster, PA

"My Granny was a resident of Linden Village and also my husbands Great Grandmother and both received excellent care. Everyone from the front office staff, the nurses and the caregivers were very caring, kind and helpful. It made the transition for our loved ones and our family very easy. The rooms where just the right size. They both enjoyed all the activities. Linden Village has beautiful Courtyards for the residents to walk."

"I did quite a bit of research before we placed my parents in Victorian Villa. We were looking for a facility where my father and mother could be together. There are a lot of places that don't have the space for a couple. My mother looks 10 years younger since she moved there. They take such good care of their residents. She needs to be on a gluten-free diet and they would go way out of their way to accommodate her. They have family nights every now and then. My sister's been over there and she said the food is quite good. It's a small facility. There's only 40 people, so they can give a lot of individual attention. It's always clean, so neat, and there's plenty of staff. There's always someone there. You always see someone around in case they need help. My father has passed, but they went out of their way to meet his needs as well right up till the end. So we're very, very pleased and we feel blessed that we found such a nice facility for our parents. "

"I toured Autumn House East Assisted Living. I wasn't bowled over with them, but they had grounds where you pull up in the back and you see this big brick building. It's very nice to have bird feeders, benches, and flowers, though; that was nice. There's a little office when you first walk in, and everyone was so welcoming and pleasant. We even had an opportunity to talk to a couple of the residents, and they seemed happy there. The staff is very nice. Initially, my daughter and I checked it out, and once we decided that it looked pretty nice, we took my sister and had lunch there. It was a very pleasant experience. The food was tasty and there was a little fruit salad. She and I got different things; she got fish, potatoes, and mixed vegetables with a little fruit bowl and some banana cake for dessert. I got manicotti, and it came with the same vegetables. I wasn't sure that potatoes really went with manicotti, but other than that, everything was pretty tasty. As for being personable and friendly, everyone we met was super nice. The staff was top notch. The facility itself is kind of old, and the aisles were narrower. The feel is very warm and friendly throughout, but the facility is a little dated. It wasn't wild, but it wasn't awful. It was just kind of average. It's the most bang for the buck. You're getting pretty good care, it's pretty nice, and it's much less costly. (We're on a very tight budget.) They encouraged us to come back, bring my sister, and have lunch; they wanted to meet her. They have a bus that takes them to Walmart. They've done other trips like going to the York Fair, and they said they are going to go to Longwood Gardens. It just offered more that way. They do your laundry for you, and they do your house cleaning. They just seemed more active, and people seemed happy as they were walking around."

"I visited Juniper Village, they have lovely apartments, and it was a very lovely facility. The staff was very helpful. However, my parents needed more assistance, and it was above their income."

"My brother has moved into Celebration Villa of York. I've been there several times to visit. So far, they've been very good. He had an episode where he needed to go to the hospital and they were quick to get him there and notified me promptly. They took care of making sure when he was released, that he was transferred back and made all the arrangements between the hospital and themselves. He's back in the community again and home health care is coming in and doing wound care and physical and occupational therapy. So, he's doing well right now. The rooms are clean and neat. It's a pleasant atmosphere. It's like being at home. They encourage them to hang pictures and make it their own room. They go down to meals every day. Unfortunately, right now, they have one resident who is confirmed positive for COVID, so they've been restricted. They've been taking meals in their room the last week. They're hoping that'll get lifted soon, but they are taking precautions, which is good and limiting visitation. Everyone's wearing masks. They've got a nice selection of food. My brother, unfortunately, is a very picky eater and because he's on thickened liquids, it makes it a challenge, but he's been doing much better there. He's eating better definitely. They have activities all day long, just about every day. They have ministers from about every faith come into the community and have services for their residents, which is good. He just does not participate in anything."

"I have visited Autumn House West, they're very professional and very helpful. It was during COVID so things were a little stricter, but we were allowed to bring personal items at that time and we were allowed to visit during normal hours during the day. We're impressed with how professional the staff was. The layout was a little larger than I thought and they simply have the needs that we needed at the time. What was there was sufficient. They have a small common space. I think the food was pretty standard, it wasn't extraordinary by any means, like a restaurant. But it wasn't like hospital food."

"My brother is here. It is a little bit more down to earth. It is not as fancy as the other one, it is more like Pennsylvania home cooking with stews and soups; they're all good but not as formal. Maybe they have activities, but not as often as the other one I visited before. They do bingo, and they go to a craft department, and make a craft thing. They have grounds you can walk around, and sit outside in the summertime. They have nice yards, and areas to do whatever like sit out."

"My visit at The Heritage of Green Hills was very good. The staff was absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable, and informative. It was extremely clean, and the food was excellent. The rooms had a lot of variety in types and sizes -- excellent layouts. It was really a nice place. "

"This is an outstanding assisted living facility. With a well trained and caring staff they set the bar for safe, loving, and respectful living for our most vulnerable population. I feel less anxious knowing that my mother is receiving what she needs to enhance the time she has left. It was a lucky day when I found this place for the care of my relative. with a caring "

"I toured The Villa St. Elizabeth. They showed me private rooms, but I thought that my loved one would need a memory care unit. Nevertheless, I like the single rooms. They had a couple of sections. For my loved one though, I thought that would be a little hard for her getting around walking on her own. I thought the place was clean and friendly. The staff who gave the tour was very nice, very polite, and very informative. I like the tour overall. The building is an old mansion, but it was nice and secure. I had to ring the doorbell to get in, and somebody let me in. At that time, they had Christmas trees in several different rooms. They had a library, which was very nice. I saw a couple of residents sitting down, reading books, and talking to the person who was doing the books. I don't think he worked for the facility, but I think he came in to bring certain books that they would want to look over."

"On July 20, 2023 my dad had a fall. After being hospitalized and inpatient rehab, we felt he needed 30 days in assisted living. This was devastating to us both as my dad is very independent. Melissa jumped in and made the process of having dad placed at Viva so comforting. Anytime, I need anything Melissa and Millie are always there fore me along with the other staff. I cannot say enough about Viva and their staff, they make you feel like family. "

"I live on the other side of the country in California but my family is from PA. I know that my grandmother had been admitted to assisted living as my parents had much too busy of lives to be able to take care of her. When I visited two Christmases ago I wanted to see my grandmother who I had not seen in about 10 years. I didn't know what to expect, I wasn't quite sure what assisted living was, but always just felt like it would be an "old people home". I expected to find depressed old people sitting around in bathrobes and slippers. What I found however was a wonderful home whereby the elderly who could no longer take care of themselves were able to do as they pleased but when they needed a hand the caring and attentive staff would jump in. There were also organize games which all of the residents seemed to enjoy and light them up. Also they property was beautiful with well maintained lawns, gardens and ponds. It was a pleasure to visit and to see that my grandmother was doing well at Country Meadows. "
