Assisted Living Communities in Mc Keesport, PA

"To me, Abode Care of Monroeville has more of a nursing home/hospital kind of a vibe to it. It's more of a sterile kind of environment. It's all hard flooring. There's no carpeting. It was clean, though. The director was very nice and very knowledgeable. She was receptive to what we were looking for. No complaints about her."

"I’m here at Paramount Senior Living at South Hills. I have a large one-bedroom with a lot of furniture from home. It may not have the menus that other places have but here you have room. They have a gazebo, nice grounds, a lot of bingo, and poker some nights. They have a little garden club, and the other day, we went to the meadow. They go to Walmart once in a while. There’s a doctor across the street but the doctor I go to weekly is in Coraopolis and the daughter of one of the aides here drives me to Coraopolis and back. They serve three meals."

"My mother has been a resident of Mt. Vernon for 4 months. This facility provides a very homelike, secure environment for her and has met ,and in some instances ,exceeded my expectations. The nursing staff has been exceptional in evalutating and implementing a care program that has worked well for her transition. When I have any suggestions or concerns regarding my mother's care, the administration is readily accessable and willing to offer suggestions and/or implement positive changes. I am very happy with many of the on-site services at Mt. Vernon. Genesis Rehab has been exceptional in helping my mother be as independent and safe as possible for her age. The staff at Mt. Vernon has treated my mother with kindness and love. Being an RN myself, I can truly appreciate the hard work and devotion of the workers here. "

"This may be a longer review but hopefully worth the read. Our mother had reached a point in life when assisted living was necessary. She was VERY reluctant to go. Well it took about 2.5 weeks and she didnt want to leave. The place is clean and well maintained.The food is made fresh and is good. If our mom doesnt like what is on the menu, the kitchen staff will make her something else. She gets dessert after lunch and dinner. Special mention to the executive chef, she makes sure each resident is happy and well fed. In our opinion, the staff makes the place top notch. From the director, the management staff, receptionist, nurses. med techs, aides, maintenance or food service…everyone is polite and friendly to the residents. They know everyone by name. and they take good care of our mom. She wears a pendant so she can ask for help when needed. Juniper is expensive. The base price can increase depending on the level of care but we sleep better at night knowing she is at Juniper."

"Whitetail Springs Assisted Living and Memory Care is very interactive. It is very clean and very new. As I was walking around, all the staff were out and about, and a great number of the patients were out and about, too. It's a small community of only 40 people."

"Overlook Green Assisted Living is very good. Its exterior is like country club setting, and the interior is very clean and spacious. The staff is very friendly, accommodating, and informative. "

"AP is a real find! You can't do better for cost, living accommodation & staff. Staff is helpful, friendly & attentive & takes care to ensure residents can be interactive & have some fun with games, movies & a great outdoor space for warm weather. Timely housekeeping/laundry & food is very good. We had excellent access to staff & Director - all very easy to talk with and always addressed needs/issues timely-even immediately when possible. Staff was empowered to take responsibility - no passing the buck, always willing to help. They treated our relative like their own & still treated us like family with kindness & caring after the passing of our loved one. Could not have asked for more. Highly recommend."

"Paramount Senior Living-Bethel is a very nice place. They have a lot of activities which is what my sister likes about it. Every day they have something for them to participate in. The staff seems to be very nice. My sister is very happy there, but she complains about the meals. I have eaten there and I found it was pretty good institutional food. The facility, like any other places, is expensive and that in time would be a problem if she runs out of money. "

"I have nothing but praise for all of these employees. They are always cheerful, patient and glad to help. They even get a message to my dad when he doesn't answer the phone. There are plenty of activities and my father is happy with the food. "

"I looked here. It's a smaller facility than the other one I toured, they only take like 25 people. But it's very, very pleasant and very friendly. The person I talked to, whose name was Jill, was very accommodating, very pleasant, and forthcoming as to their services. They were getting to play bingo when we were there. I thought the rooms were a nice size, they accommodate a queen bed, which was surprising. A person looking for a smaller facility would probably like it."

"Brookdale Mt. Lebanon was very attractive. It was very clean and modern-looking. The staff said that the assisted living part had 60 people and the independent living part had 200, and that appealed to me. There seemed to be a lot of people who were just retired and living there and didn't have serious issues. They were kind of healthy-looking. The staff said there were numerous bridge games. I saw a nice-looking dining room there. The whole place is very clean-looking. We saw a studio, and it looked very nice. I just had a very positive feeling about it. They had a large library."

"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."

"I went to The Grand Residence at Upper St Clair. It was a very pleasant experience. The girl during the tour was so wonderful and followed up with me numerous times. They were great. My dad is just not ready to leave his home. They were wonderful, they kept following up, and they're patient. It's all positive. The rooms were a little small, but very nice and very clean. They explained the floor plans and they're very nice. They're very accommodating with my family's circumstance."

"Halcyon of Bridgeville seemed to care about their residents. My husband was very happy when he was there. They had him playing bingo, which was more than at the prior facility, and he ate well. The facility was clean. The residents seemed very happy. I was very impressed. It's just unfortunate that he fell. It's not their fault though. They just turned their back on him for an instant, and he fell. That had happened at home, so I knew that could happen there. I did not try their food, but I saw their food, and it was very good. The staff was helpful. My husband had Lewy body dementia and it requires different approaches than other dementia issues and were very knowledgeable about it, which is one of the reasons I chose them. They were very interactive with the residents and they didn't allow them to just sit there and be vegetables. They interacted with them and they had them doing the things they could do."
