Assisted Living Communities in Lower Burrell, PA

"My mom loved Magnolia Place of Saxonburg. We put a deposit down for her, her husband, and their dog. However, my mom's husband's kids, after we did all that, said no, that he couldn't afford it. So we just weren't able to go. My mom loved it, and she would like to be there, but her husband can't afford it. My mom liked it because it felt homey. The staff was nice and helpful. The overall appearance and the apartment that they were going to rent were very nice. They had a nice garden area. It was a smaller facility, so they would cater to you as much as they possibly could as far as meals and things like that. For amenities, they had arts and crafts. The part that my mom had put a deposit down was a brand-new wing. "

"The rooms that they showed us at Graceful Care Living just had a bed in them, and that's it. We knew immediately when we got there that that wasn't what we were looking for. The staff mentioned that they have another section for people who are more independent. However, it was still somewhat the same concept. Instead of being in a room, like a small, single room, there were two beds. There was no television in those independent rooms. You have to go out of the room to watch television. It was that type of atmosphere, and my mother doesn't want that. She wants something that's like a small apartment, where she can live in that small space and be able to care for herself. I liked the atmosphere. I liked the staff. They're very nice and very accommodating as we went through the tour. My mom asked questions, although she didn't ask very many because she knew, and I could tell just from how she was withdrawn that she was like, "No, this is not going to work for me." I said it to the guy. I said, she's a lot more independent. She can get around fairly well, but this is not for her. She still needs to be in her own place where she can take care of herself. The only thing that she needed was somebody to help her, like to come in and help her to make sure that she's taking her meds. I didn't smell anything. It was very clean."

"We toured Juniper Village at Forest Hills. The room was very big and clean, and the people were very nice. The staff was very nice and accommodating, and they have a craft area."

"Celebration Villa of Allison Park is very organized and very clean. I don't know if I found anything I didn't like. I didn't meet the staff other than the manager that showed me around, and he was good. I guess it was just the time that I showed up. They were probably all busy with folks and stuff. Everything there was nice. I think in the middle is a courtyard, which is very nice. The place was very clean. I had no qualms about that at all. You could get there fairly easily for anything that you need. You're not far from Route 8, you're not far from McKnight or 19. I think it's quite handy, and I think it is in a good location."

"Everytime I visit the place is getting nicer and more up to date. The staff are friendly and make him happy living there."

"GS In my eyes you can find a fancy high end place but it is what happens inside those walls. Inside Grace Manor I have found a staff that is caring and kind also who have become family. My mom is in dementia care and she is treated wonderfully. The staff is hard working and are consistent with their care. We couldn’t be happier and we appreciate the way they include dementia patients in activities. Thank you so much for everything!"

"Hemsley House of McCandless is a gorgeous place. It's brand new, bright, and it's really huge. They have 24 patients. It seems like they're very attentive. The dining area is very nice. They feed the patient as well."

"The Haven at North Hills was very lovely. All of the rooms were private and very spacious. It was very clean, very bright, and cheery. The dining room was beautiful. They were having some activities while we were there. There were residents attending the activities who seemed to be having a good time."

"The Remington of McCandless has all-day dining, so you don't have a set time to go down to eat. They had a theater and a gathering room. If the family wanted to come in and celebrate something for them, they had this whole area that was beautiful, and it had a refrigerator and a stove. The activities were full on the board. They had happy hours on different days. People were walking around. I didn't taste the food, but I was sitting there, and one of the people who were serving the patients asked them if they wanted pie. The person said, "What kind you got?" They named all five pies that they have. If you didn't like what they were serving that day, they had a menu that you could pick from. They have a bistro. It was outstanding. Katie gave me the tour, and I interacted with two other people."

"We toured Ashton Commons Senior Living. It was very nice. However, they didn't have independent living available, and they didn't have shuttles, which was a must. The staff who gave the tour was very nice. The common areas and apartments were some of the nicest I saw. They were much more modern than the other places I looked at."

"We toured Locust Grove. We liked it. It was pretty nice. We saw a typical room. We walked up to the cafeteria. We looked at their activities schedule and meal schedule. The rooms would come with small refrigerators. I think they said that some people could put a coffee maker in there, but there wasn't a whole lot of room there. So if you were the first person in there, there's room for a couch and a chair, but if you were the second person in there, and someone else already had one in there, then that wouldn't work. The staff who toured me around was very helpful."

"All new decorated rooms, floors, painted wall, new toilets, mattress, as well as kitchen, reading room, meeting room, every inch of this home has been touched and made more comfortable, more accessible, to its residence. The food is great, the care, the staff, all helpful, and at beckoning call when needed. Our 1st cousin has been there for five years. He needed more help than we could have given him,…. Sycamore Estates was the answer."

"What a beautiful place for mom. The facility is very clean. Most importantly is the care and concern the staff has for the residences. I would recommend Ridgecrest to anyone needing a place to reside."

"My mom is there the last couple months and this place is amazing they have a ha dedicated team of personal Aides , the food is amazing and the management keeps the place clean and nice now it with the new management in place things got even batter thanks Toni (she is the administrator) I would recommend this place for anyone that is looking for a place for a close one a place that they could feel at home and bean taking care of Thanks Peter"
