Assisted Living Communities in Palmyra, PA

"I toured Juniper Village at Lebanon, which is a very nice facility. I would give it an A-plus rating. The apartment that I viewed was A-plus. I like their facility. It was smaller and more personal, and the patients seemed very happy there. The staff was fabulous. She was very helpful. She informed me on everything. She showed me the apartment, described it to me, and told me about the other facilities. They showed me their recreation area. It's more personal than the other I've visited so far. It's more family oriented."

"I liked the size of The Terraces at Capitol Village. It was sort of secluded and a good location. There's a lot of shopping. They were redoing some of the places, and they're moving to hardwood floors instead of carpet and that may sound good, but I prefer carpet. If I had a room that was all laminate or hardwood, I would end up putting area rugs down and they scare me to death. They are too easy to trip on and that's one reason I probably would not move in there because I don't want to walk around and step over area rugs. They only showed me stuff inside because they didn't have a lot of stuff outside. They had some walking trails, but nothing else, which is fine with me. If I want to go golfing or swimming, I would just get in my car and go somewhere else. They have regularly scheduled events. There are so many. You can't read them all, but they all sound fun. Cleanliness seemed nice. There weren't a lot of people that were sitting outside. They have benches and stuff. They don't have a lot more than that. Just a park area and you walk around and enjoy the weather or flowers, but there weren't hardly any people out there. I checked out their independent living but I liked that they can make their way up to skilled nursing so you don't have to leave your apartment. When you get to where you're incapacitated, they will send the caretakers to your room. I liked that. They have an area in the building for people that need round-the- clock care, and that's what I'm looking for. They take you to the end of your life."

"My mom moved into Juniper Village at Mount Joy. Right off the top, these people are so caring. I can't say enough for them. They are just so accommodating to make this transition easy. We want my mom to be in a decent clean place, and that's exactly what this is. It was recommended to me by a friend of mine whose mother was there. The staff members were outstanding. It's in the town of Mount Joy, but it still feels like you're out in the country a little bit. It's in a nice location. It's maybe 20 minutes from where we are located, and we're familiar with the area. It's very easy to reach, and there's not a lot of traffic. You're not in the middle of the city and have that hustle and bustle, so it's nice. My mom has a little bedroom area and a couple of chairs in there. She has a little kitchenette, a refrigerator, a little sink, and a microwave. She can get her own drinks when she's not down at the dining area, which is three meals a day. They include cable TV. There is that potential if you want them to do laundry, but that is another up-charge. So I've chosen to do her laundry at this point. The food was nice. They have people that come in and play musical instruments or sing. They have cooking demonstrations. They have church services several times a week. They have a living room with a nice big fireplace, tons of couches, and chairs. If you don't want to participate in singing, you can just sit there and listen. They have several little game tables. They have different things like chess and Tic-tac-toe, so it's very nice."

"I toured the memory care unit of Brookdale Harrisburg for my dad. It had a good look and there was no smell or anything like that. It didn't remind me of a nursing home and it was a nice facility. The room I saw was nice too. The method of payment was straight-up pay, there was no Medicare or Medicaid or anything like that to help out. The staff was really nice and they were open. We thought they would try to hide anything from us but everything went well and we were satisfied with the visit. We saw the dining area but we didn't eat there. It seemed to look okay. We talked to the patients about the food as well and they did not have any complaints about it. The recreational director seemed to be pretty enthusiastic to get the residents involved in activities."

"The facility is fairly new, nice, clean place and it is actually our first choice since its just right beside my dad's house. And the facility is willing to take him without any down payment, after we had him taken out from a rehabilitation center. They conduct a comprehensive nursing assessment with every residents and their family to fully understand their needs. And the person who actually assisted us, I think her name is Alicia, was really nice and very helpful. But it just came down to when he developed a blood clot, we couldn't move him. So I need to look for some place closer to me, since I'm in Waldrof. "

"I have had the unique opportunity of having two parents use both of their facilities and was extremely pleased by the respect they gave each individual. The structure is beautifully maintained, meals are wonderful and invite family members to join in everything. The individual rooms are tastefully decorated with country views out each window. "

"I toured Harmony at West Shore. It was a very nice facility. They showed us an apartment that was recently vacated. So, they're still working on it, but it was enough for us to get kind of the lay of the land. The hallways and everything were very nice and very clean. The staff was amazing. It was one of the best staffing encounters I think I've had, really nice and personal. One of the guys was even right there to assess my dad, and pretty much went through and was like you're minimal care. Like he flat out was able to do that without any issues. Very family-oriented was the feeling that I got out of it."

"I visited Autumn House East. The gentleman was very helpful and very nice, but they don't do long-term care like my relative needs. He needs full care. He needs a Hoyer lift and two people, getting in and out of bed and the bathroom, and they don't do that. They're just assisted living. The residents there were walking with walkers or needing help with walking, but it seemed like they were in pretty good shape. It's very friendly. The gentleman knows people living there by the first name and says hi to them. Nothing like what my brother-in-law is in now. It's very clean. I wouldn't be afraid to stay there if I had to. I know other people that were there, and that's how I can sort of rate it pretty good. They were residents until they got too bad, they had to go to a nursing home."

"My mother is happy at Oak Leaf Manor South. It's a small facility and they're very good with her. The facility looked very nice, her room is very nice, and none of the rooms are that far from the dining area, so it was easy for everyone to get to. It's a small facility, so a lot of care is taken. The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful, since it's a small facility, they know all of the patients. I haven't tried the food but my mom said it's wonderful. They cook their food, it's not like processed food. They get a menu so there's more than one option available for any given meal. They also have a memory section in another wing of the facility. They have several activities each day, there's always something to be done. They have musicians come in. There's bingo, aerobics, and physical activities that you can attend in the morning, though you're not required to go to them."

"Our sister is extremely happy at Autum House West. Our first experience was with Michael H., and he is top notch. He convinced us that our sister would be in good hands. So far he has not left us down. The facility is very clean and well kept. All the staff are extremely helpful, caring and kind. The rooms are spacious enough. Some personal care homes i have visited, the residents would have to share a room or have extremely small bedrooms. They have constant actives for the residents, which is so helpful. We would recommend Autum House to anyone for the care of their loved one."

"My brother is doing very well at Celebration Villa of York. I know he likes it. We liked it the first time we went to see it. The people are very caring. Everybody knows his name. It's very clean. It's a good place. The staff is excellent. They gave us a banana nut cake and that was good, but I have not eaten in the dining hall. My brother says the food is good. The floor plan is a little confusing, but the cleanliness is very good. They keep it very clean. They have lots of activities."

"My grandfather has been a resident at faithful living for the past 2 months . Our entire family is happy with how smooth the staff made the transition for him . He is having a lot of fun with other residents . They recently went on a trip to a baseball game and he told me how he had a good time . Whenever I visit my grandpa , I am always satisfied with how clean the facility is . The staff is also very attentive . The rooms are very clean and spacious . "

"I did quite a bit of research before we placed my parents in Victorian Villa. We were looking for a facility where my father and mother could be together. There are a lot of places that don't have the space for a couple. My mother looks 10 years younger since she moved there. They take such good care of their residents. She needs to be on a gluten-free diet and they would go way out of their way to accommodate her. They have family nights every now and then. My sister's been over there and she said the food is quite good. It's a small facility. There's only 40 people, so they can give a lot of individual attention. It's always clean, so neat, and there's plenty of staff. There's always someone there. You always see someone around in case they need help. My father has passed, but they went out of their way to meet his needs as well right up till the end. So we're very, very pleased and we feel blessed that we found such a nice facility for our parents. "
