Assisted Living Communities in North Huntingdon, PA

"My dad is in a senior living right now called Brookdale Penn Hills. Over the years that he has been there, if there have been any problems, they communicate very well with me and help me to solve any problems that they come up with him. He's taken care of very well, and the people that work there are really kind. Everything is clean. The food is good. They also have an outdoor patio where there's a garden, and they have an outdoor porch on the front. They always have something going on there. They have bingo, they do crafts, and they have guests that come in. It's not as expensive as some places are, and I think it's a very good value. And it looks like a little home inside."

"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."

"I like how clean it was, how everything was open and available to all the people who live there, and the staff was great. I looked at both assisted living and independent living. The staff who gave me the tour was very knowledgeable. She gave me a tour of the whole place, and it seemed like she didn't hide anything. It's a great place. They got in-house physical therapy; it looked great. They have a gym, a salon, and an in-house doctor. It was close to where she's living now. It's near all the hospitals, too."

"We toured The Residence at Whitehall. They were very nice, but they were above what we could afford. They showed us the studio apartment, which would have been too small for us. We saw the common areas like the lobby, the dining areas, and the craft rooms. They were well-maintained."

"This facility was an excellent. Never once did we have to advocate for my Mum. Her care was exceptional. The hospice care was outstanding. They treated my Mum with respect and dignity. "

"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."

"When I walked into Vida Springs Senior Living and Personal Care Home, I could smell that they were using some seasonings in their meals. My father is a healthy eater, so he would appreciate the fact that they make home-cooked meals right there. The person who gave me the tour was the cook. She was friendly. She tried to answer most of my questions, but on some things, she couldn't. She referred me to the administrator and gave me her contact information card. She introduced me to a health care worker that was there visiting one of the residents. The facility was clean, but it was definitely in need of updating. It's an older facility, and the furnishings are very sparse. I don't think they had the best beds and that sort of thing, but she said you could bring whatever other furnishings you wanted for the room."

"Paramount Senior Living-Bethel was very welcoming. The staff and residents seemed to have a great interaction with each other. The staff was very knowledgeable and wanted to show my daughter and me everything they had to offer. They have outdoor space, like a little courtyard area. They get three meals a day."

"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. "

"The first impression I had of Brookdale Mt. Lebanon was that it was a quietly cheerful place. The staff was cheerful and the residents were cheerful. There are nearly 200 residents there. They have little dogs on leashes. I hear there are cats. The place is furnished in a way that is comfortable and safe for seniors who have physical difficulties, as I do. As things go, the cost is moderate, considering the highs and the lows of this line of business. I only interacted with two people and they were competent. There's just a relaxed, contented quality about the whole place and everybody that I met and they invited us to come back to try their meals. We saw two studio apartments. One was much smaller than the other. I loved the small one, and that's the one we're still talking about. I did not see a list of activities, but I didn't need to. From what we walked around and saw, there is a little bit of everything."

"I toured Graceful Care Living. I didn't think that the facility was as clean as I would like it to be. I didn't like the housekeeping of it. The one person we spoke to was very welcoming and kind. It was very spacious. My grandmother is in a wheelchair. So, if she did stay there, it would be bigger than the place she has right now. It's very spacious for her condition, but it doesn't look new. Where she's at right now is more updated than that place."

"My mom moved into Woodcrest Senior Living Community last Monday. I love the community. It's safe. The employees are completely wonderful. They're all polite and accommodating. I've never seen a high level of care. The place is clean as clean can be. They have a chapel. They have a lot of Christian-based things going on there, like Bible studies, which I like. It's great. There's nothing I don't like about it. It's beautiful. And they do everything for my mom. The staff is great. I've never seen people like that. They're polite and well-groomed. They do their job, and it's amazing. I've never really seen anything like this because I've gone to some places and been in places where people are taken care of, and it's way above the rest. They have all kinds of activities. They have bingo and games. They have a puzzle room. They have a chapel. They have church on Sundays for the people. They have music. Sometimes people come in and play. They had a chalk artist there last week. There's always something going on. They post activities every day, what's going on, what time and where, so people can go to what they want to be a part of. It's nice. We compared it with other homes out in the area. This place is way above the rest. It's an amazing place."

"My mom moved in. The people are just so personable. Every single person is brought out to the community room. They are very attentive. They walk to the units and ask if the patients would like a cup of coffee. It is definitely like a family. The facility is beautiful. They have a hair salon. The activities are wonderful. Every day, I can see them out there doing word games. They have music. If there's an anxiety-ridden patient, they'll have themselves and other patients around them trying to calm the patient, holding their hand, saying the rosary, and all kinds of things to help calm the patient. It's like they're caring for their mother. The food is excellent."

"My mom is now at Brookdale Latrobe. When we went there to look at it, it was very clean, and very well-lit. The people there were very helpful and very forthright in explaining what everything was going to happen with my mom. I didn't meet much of the staff. I met the director and the lady who was the marketer. She was our first contact. They were very good. The food was very good. They have a lot of activities for my mom to do. She broke her hip and she needs to be able to get up and go. I don't know if they have a gym, but they have a lot of activities in the morning, then between breakfast and lunch, and then between lunch and dinner. They have more activities that they get people out and they get them together and meet and greet and things like that."
