Assisted Living Communities in Northumberland, PA

"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. "

"RiverWoods was expensive. It's down along the river. I've eaten meals there with friends. It's perfect, but it's very high priced. The atmosphere was nice and the parking was easy. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They had a little snack shop, which was very nice. If you have lots of money, it's perfect."

"My mother wanted to go to Buffalo Valley Lutheran Village, and they had a waiting list. She wants to go there because she had a brother, and sister-in-law who were there for a long time who were treated very well. Also, the director is a son of her favorite doctor, and it's closer to her home. The rooms were nice, and I liked them better because they had little kitchenettes, microwave, a refrigerator, and she doesn't have that where she is. They were a bit smaller, but adequate. They had programs. We were there around Thanksgiving, and they were having a salute to veterans. They have a very nice library which appealed to my mother. They have exercise programs, musical events, and people come in. "

"My father is in Rockwell Retirement Center. The rooms are beautiful. It is an old school house, which they redid. The rooms are in very good size. The staff is very much accommodating. My father does not go down for activities. He is on ten liters of oxygen, and he just cannot do it, but they offer a lot of activities. He likes the food. The dining area is very nice. I recommend them. Rockwell is the best: 100%. "

"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. "

"My mom had her physical therapy as Mt. Carmel Nursing Rehab Center. They also had the medical part to make sure that she was okay from the stroke the she had in her spine. The people there were very professional. They were very helpful and respectful. They had her on a schedule and they made sure that she had her therapy. They also took care of her diabetes and coumadin and everything else she needed medically. They provided activities for the patients. They even had her do some chopping and stuff to help make soup. The room that she was in was very clean and neat. I had nothing negative to say about them. "

"Heritage Mills Personal Care and Memory Assistance Center is very homey and very close to my home, which is the reason why we chose that one for my mom. She's in a semi-private room with a nice view and she's getting therapy there. She's doing very well after she had a stroke. The layout of her room is open. It's not segmented, like a tiny closet. It has a small partition wall between where the beds would be. They have their own bathroom that's very big with a walk-in shower and rails for the toilet and sink, so she could get a shower right in her room. The staff is very caring. There are a lot of younger people and they work very well with her. They don't force her to do anything. They check on her at least a couple of times a shift. She said anytime she rings, they answer her bell. If she has to go to the toilet and she feels like she needs help, they're there to help her. They have at least two or three activities a day. Sometimes they watch a movie, do a trivia game, or go to their garden outside. The cost we're paying is worth it. I looked at a lot of different places that were over $3,000 a month and for a semi-private room that's only $2200 a month, which includes room and board, her television, all her meals, all her meds, and activities, I would recommend it to anybody that's looking for something like that. It's very clean. It doesn't smell. They also have a nice dining room. I had breakfast with her and the food's very good. She hasn't complained about anything. She said the food's always hot and the bacon's crisp."

"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."

"My father moved in at Wolf Run Village probably two months ago. We were looking for assisted living and it was the closest to our house about 10 miles. I really like it. The place is really nice. The staff were really nice. "

"Just a couple of months ago, we decided it would be nice to move my father closer, so I just started to search; but he really doesn't want to move. He really wants to savor his stay at Polk Personal Care. He's comfortable there. He came from that area, so he knew several people from his time. The staff is absolutely terrific. They take good care of him and are very friendly. We are all pleased with the staff. They're like family. The room is comfortable. He has everything that he needs. They have activities, but unfortunately he has no hearing, so he's not very sociable. But they always have a bingo or game day, movies, and people go outside for a walk or a hike when the weather's nice. He complains about the food a lot. It's not the same as home. I certainly would recommend this to others. It gives me a lot of peace of mind; he has a place like that where they take good care of him with us 40 miles away. For us it's a comfort as well. "

"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."

"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. "

"My mom is at The Meadows Assisted Living Community, and so far we're good. We're very pleased where she is. They have a lot of caring nurses there, they have activities constantly like Bingo and manicures for the women, they have an activities board where they list all the activities for the day, and they provide church services for them. We're really very happy with it, and we're glad. It's pretty much top of the line, and the food's good. It's always well-balanced, and there are good portions. We're very pleased with the way they treat her -- always very respectful and caring -- and they're easy to work with. It's a very good place. "
