Assisted Living Communities in Meadville, PA

"My sister moved to St. Paul's Senior Living Community. The staff is excellent. They are very attentive and the ratio of staff to patients is very good. The memory care facility has only ten patients in it right now, and they typically have between three or four nurses on staff. They have an excellent kitchen right on the floor just down the hall from the patient room. The food is very good. The kitchen staff is very attentive. They help patients get the food and help service them if they want. If they are not able to go to the dining area, they'll bring the food to the room. They encourage all the patients to go to join them for the activities. They don't force them to go but they strongly encourage them to go out and be with other people. They play games and puzzles. The facility is extremely clean and very well-kept. The grounds are very large and have lots of greenery."

"My mother is in Country Acres Personal Care Home. It looks good to me, the layout is very convenient, and it's all on one floor. It's a small facility, so there aren't tons and tons of older people, but I think it's fine. The staff has been good so far to my mother, and they're informative by calling me and my brother. I think the only thing she's really done is play bingo because they've been quarantined to their rooms for different times. They have a living room with a TV where they go out to sometimes, but there have not been a lot of activities. The dining area is nice, very open and airy. She doesn't like anybody's food, so I don't think that matters."

"I saw The Caring Place for my mother. The only issue was I thought we were pretty clear that we were looking for the nursing home part of it, but they gave us a tour of the assisted living. There was nobody available for the nursing home part of it, but we got the information. They gave us a tour of the place, and we saw some of the shared facilities. The place was very clean. It looked very well-staffed and well-organized. We were just pleased with everything we saw. If the need arose, it would definitely be one of the places we would be comfortable having my mom be a resident there. The staff was very knowledgeable and very friendly. She was very upfront with the fact that she couldn't give us the information about what we actually needed. She put us in contact with the person who could help us. She gave us all the contact information. The rooms they showed us were all single rooms, which were their short-term stays. Their long-term stay rooms were doubles. They were very clean and did not smell like a nursing home, which was wonderful."

"Southwoods Assisted Living had comfortable and warm apartments. The residents put up personal decorations, so they looked very home-like. I saw some residents playing cards while some were talking. The staff was very responsive to the residents, and the administrator was very competent. I saw the dining room and it was very attractive. They also had physical therapy in the building. The place was in a nice location where it was easy to get out and walk. The structure was very easy for people to walk around. It was one of the best we saw in the area."

"Well as I stated above I was not in the facility but my Uncle George was. This was the first time I have ever had any experience with this type of facility and I was about 25 years old at the time. Never having any familiarity with a nursing home I did not know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised! I found the facility extremely clean and it didn't have that "institutional" smell so associated with medical places! I found that the staff, tho somewhat appearing to be overworked, were very kind to the patients under their care and quite happy to answer the mundane questions that the visitors or relatives of the patients. The food did not smell bad to me and I was informed by several patients that it was quite tasty, I am assuming that it did have nutritional value as I had no way of disproving or proving this statement. All in all I believe that Golden Living Center is a nice, well cared for, competent place to put your loved ones in the event that they need this type of institutional care. "

"We took a tour of Oakwood Heights - Oil City Presbyterian SeniorCare. They greeted us promptly and took us out in the courtyards. It's multi-level. It was very clean and looked very well-kept. We were very pleased with that. It was probably where my mom would choose to go, if there was availability at the time. The facility was very clean and very well-staffed. They showed us how they accommodate food needs because my mom is diabetic. They went through how the day before an individual person comes through, sits down, and goes through meal choices. If what is offered isn't something that they like, they accommodate and make whatever is within the limits that the resident would want. We're pleased about that. It's also built into a hillside. Even though it's about four stories high, you can walk out at ground level on each floor. We were on the fourth floor, and there was an outside ground-level courtyard. It's very bright and very well-maintained. There are places with seating, and they can do flower gardening. They plan all kinds of things to get the residents involved. We saw the activity director doing all kinds of activities with them, including bingo. They've also done COVID precautions, like playing bingo from their rooms and having cards with prizes going up and down the halls. It's very well-organized and very upbeat. It wasn't like they were putting on a show for us. This place was probably our first choice."

"Springhill in Erie has good activities, good therapy, and good care. I looked at their assisted living and they have daily activities like bingo, music therapy, and card games. They also have church services and they always have something to do every day. It's very, very clean, easy to get around, and they have very good staff."

"We went to look at Manchester Commons. The rooms were very nice. The staff was very nice. The facility was nice, open, and friendly. They had a lot of things to do. The dining room was pretty. It seemed like a very laid-back, comfortable place. The only thing we didn't like was that they didn't have a lot of outside activities due to what they called COVID restrictions. The staff was warm, friendly, very kind, and open. They had the best room there. They had a little alcove for the bed, and we really liked that. It's more roomy. The atmosphere felt welcoming. They had a big, open dining room. It was like a restaurant."
