Assisted Living Communities in Milton, PA

"We have chosen Rockwell Retirement Center for my father. We are going to move him sometime this month. I was happy with it. I had a good impression of the staff. The apartment we got for my father was adequate sized for him, and I think it will be good for him. Right now, they have no shared activities. With Covid, they're limiting activities with any other people. As far as visit, we are allowed to go in and take him out of there to go on trips to go away from there, but you can't go in and visit. You also can drop certain things for him. My aunt has lived there for years, and I have a cousin who has also lived there, and I've never heard of any issues with them. However, I didn't get to see all their stuff because of Covid. It was an old high school that had been refurbished back in the late 1980s, so it is quite a huge building. They can get out for exercise and walk through the hallways, and I saw several residents doing that while I was taking my tour. I didn't see any problems with cleanliness."

"From my experience at the facility, I have a mostly positive opinion on how they conducted things. My mother had told me how much care they gave to their residents, and the stress that went along with the job. From my touring of the facility, I saw that most of the workers were on the job and not slacking or looking unhappy. The only reason I did not rate it five stars was because the facility was not exactly the most glamorous and according to my mother some of her coworkers could be a little mean to the residents from time to time. Other than that, everything seemed to be in top shape. They used fairly new equipment and the facility itself was kept quite clean. From what I saw, most of the residents seemed happy too which I feel is very important in a place like this. My mother herself also seemed happy with her job and helping the people there. Overall I liked what I saw at Riverwoods and would even consider sending a loved-one there if they needed the assistance. "

"I was impressed with Buffalo Valley Lutheran Village, and that's where I'm moving. I have heard nothing but good about this community from co-workers and friends of my daughter who live in town. I was impressed too with the personnel and the residents that I met when I was there. I also liked that it's close to my daughter. I'm going to be moving into a cottage. "

"Nottingham Village is satisfactory, except for the fact that it would take my son a little longer to get there. I really like it though. They have separate houses, but I can have a 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom. It is a smaller area, like a town that you could drive into. There are not so many stores or banks available, but it is satisfactory. The staff is very friendly. The community is very clean and well run. They have some beautiful homes. The price is a little higher, but they offer a little bit more. They have a dining room and a café where you can buy what you want."

"The Manor at Penn Village is very close to my home, and I have known other families who had parents there. They were very pleased with the facility and I am also very pleased with it. The nurses are very thoughtful and they really look after the residents. I can call anytime, and they don't get annoyed with me when I call to check on my mother, because she's having a difficult time since her sister is also ill. So I also had my aunt there. My aunt and my mother were extremely close. And the nurses knew this. So when my aunt passed away the day after Christmas, they went the extra mile to be with my mother to help her through this difficult time. The facility is very clean and up to date. They serve fantastic meal and they offer a lot of activities for the residents. My mother gets her hair done every week. They try to make the residents feel it's like their home. They even have a chapel there. I've been very happy with it. I have no complaints. "

"Mother was at Emmanuel Center for about a month, and it was better, nicer, cleaner, and safer. The staff was better than average. I guess, she is in the beginnings of dementia. Her issue is that she would think that people didn’t take care of her in a timely manner, but we as her family thought that they were much better. I just admire the work that they tried to do with the patients. "

"Wolf Run Village has nice rooms. My father has a private room. It has a sink, a microwave, a refrigerator and his own bathroom. It is very clean. It's a brand new one and it's close. The staff is good. They care, they go out of their way to do things. They have something all the time. They have bingo. "

"My dad is in Willow View Personal Care. It has been very good. I have been up there several times. The place is clean. The food is decent. He has been there probably two months now. He is in a semi-private room. They have a few different lounge areas with TVs. His food is provided. The nurses provide medication. He is allowed to leave the facility for local trips or if family members want to take him out. "

"I have been in Manorcare for eight months now. The staff is very well, very knowledgeable, very friendly, and very helpful. I am very grateful to everybody. They have an excellent therapy. They are very professional and everything. The whole building is very clean. The food is good. I have not been to any of the activities, but they have an entertainment room and craft room. "

"I went to The Meadows. I liked the decor, the openness of it, the ease of getting to the dining room, and the very country atmosphere (in which my father was born and raised in). It kind of represents his beginnings as he nears his end. The staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating, and they answered all questions without hesitation. There's no kitchenette, but you're allowed to bring your refrigerator. They've got a beautiful courtyard and a little deck area. There's a complete flat walk around, and they've got various places. They've got raised gardens."

"Roseview Manor was clean and nice. They had nice big rooms, two rooms that are enough for us. They provide three meals a day, and I like the setup of the dining area. I think it’s a nice, small place, and I will recommend this to others. "

"My aunt moved into Nippenose Valley Village a month ago. The rooms are beautiful, she has one of the best there. Some of the rooms in their interior have no outside windows. We know the main person there, she really takes good care of her people, I have no complaints with the staff, they're doing really good. We've asked her if she's eating good, and she says yeah she loves everything. They've renovated, it's beautiful, when you first walk in, there's a big waterfall there, and there's like a little man-made pond with fish, It's a beautiful environment. They've kept part of the gym, half of it they made into a dining room, they kept the other half, and a lot of the residents go out there and throw basketballs around and get a little exercise around. I would definitely recommend them."

"The Williamsport Home is where my parents always thought they would like to go to. They just felt that they knew more about this place than the others, so that's why they chose to be there. They are very comfortable because they've got a couple of friends and other people whom they've known for a long time that are also living in there. It's an older facility but they've had an upgrade. It's very spacious and the staff is friendly. They have exercises and a wide variety of activities such as Bible study, cards, Bingo, classes, and excursions. "

"My husband has been in Orangeville Nursing & Rehabilitation Center for a month now. Just like every nursing home in the area, they need more people to work there and they're looking. Right now, I don't think they're hiring anybody extra because of COVID. Everything's kind of shut down for now, but he's adjusting. He's enjoying having a roommate. The nurses are wonderful. The staff is exceptional. The only problem is they don't have enough people working there and I'm pretty sure that's the case everywhere. The food is OK, some days are better than others. It's very clean, but they do not have central air, which completely boggles my mind. When Medicare was finished with their 20 days of providing physical therapy, they told me that from then on, it would cost me $400 a day for two hours of physical therapy and that really kind of blew my mind. The staff members are very nice, and they're working very hard. They're trying to take care of everybody as best they can with the time that they have. Yesterday, the dinner was beautiful. They have an outside area that looks very nice. They have some areas with nice big windows so that they can look out on the outdoors, which is nice. I just think they charge more than anybody else around or at least no less."
