Assisted Living Communities in Punxsutawney, PA

"Live Well Estates is located in a very scenic part of Pennsylvania 30 minutes north of Indiana, PA. There is a big bay window in the dining room from which residents can view the lake and surrounding woods while eating. However, it is 30 minutes from the nearest large grocery store or hospital. My grandparents enjoyed the atmosphere; and one staff member (aide) in particular. However, there was a very high turnover rate among staff, so the staff did not care for the patients as they could have because it was just a "job" for most. The owner was not around much, but was wonderful when she was. The director was grumpy most of the time, and did not allow permission for many requests that would have been beneficial to her patients, such as when we asked if we could take my grandparents for an extended vacation of a week. (This was eventually approved, but by the owner.) "

"I have had 3 relatives as patients here. All were treated with respect, had excellent care, and good results The place is immaculate. Food is good. For rehab care it can't be beat. "

"In my experience with Christ the King Manor, the staff seemed well trained and very sympathetic with the residents the were helping. The facility it's self was clean and very well kept. There seemed to be a lot of activities provided for residents to take part in, as well as private rooms for patients who prefer to be on their own. From what I hear the food provided for residents could be improved apon, but personally I have never tried it to find out. They also offer a beauty salon, which I thought was a very nice touch, because who doesn't like to be pampered. The facility has on-site physical and occupational therapy for residents that need it, and from what I hear it's a good program with good people working there. The on-site church is another thing I thought was very nice so the residents don't have to venture far to worship. Overall I think the level of care at this establishment is excellent. "

"Bash's Personal Care Home in Commodore, Pennsylvania is an assisted living facility that feels more like a home than an institution. Nestled at the end of a country road, the residents can sit on the covered porch or look out the windows and see cattle grazing in the field and birds nesting in the trees. It is a very peaceful setting where the staff and workers treat the residents as treasured family members. Surrounded by farms, Bash's has room for approximately 40 residents. Most residents have a private room, although you may choose to share a room with a family member or friend. The rooms are small, but they are kept clean and there is ample storage for clothing and other belongings. The one down side of Bash's is that there are shared bathrooms in the main halls, which can be inconvenient for those who require a high level of assistance. I'm sure that the number of toilets meets the standard that is set by state regulators, however I think it would be nice if they could consider adding more bathrooms in the future. The facility is all on one level and the dining area and common living areas are adjacent to each other, so residents are never far from one another at any time. There are a number of activities to keep minds sharp and alert, including bingo, arts and crafts, Bible study and card games. The residents are well cared for, and for the most part, seem happy and content. The nearest town and hospital is about 15 miles away, which is also a drawback. During the winter months, bad weather can make it difficult for vehicles to make it out to the main roads or for ambulances to get in. So if you have a loved one considering a move to Bash's, think about whether they might need to have medical care on a regular basis. This family-run facility takes pride in the way it treats its guests. It is not a fancy place, but it provides clean and comfortable accommodations for those with limited resources. Since it is a bit off the beaten path, you might want to call for specific directions before you go to visit. It may be a little hard to find once you get off one of the main highways. However, once you pull into the gravel driveway, you will be welcomed home with open arms. "

"My grandmother was at this facility for several months after surgery. Overall it was a very pleasant place different from most over nursing homes. It was more like a large house than a Hospital like atmosphere. I was very impressed with the staff and the facilities available. Everyone was friendly and kind with no complaints of how things were run. I would say that the only thing worth changing is that the parking lot wasn't paved. In the winter that made things a little tough. The facility is located just out of town which made things nicer since there was plenty of room to site outside and the views were far more pleasant. My grandmother was not too happy about being there but seemed to enjoy herself during the brief stay. Honestly I can't say anything bad about the place since they are a required part the way things are. "

"My father made his home at Margaret Manor for 2 years. The care he was given was wonderful. I visited 3 to 4 times a week and was very welcomed and treated like family by the owner and staff. They provide love and care for their residences and much need support for the families. "

"Grey's Colonial Acres Personal Care Home smelled nice. They were very sweet and very nice. It was fantastic. The owner was the one who walked us through and she was very nice. Everything looked clean. They had a dining area and a sitting room, and I saw people in the hallway talking and being friendly to each other. I would highly recommend them. They had two rooms that would have been available if my brother wanted a two-bedroom place. Then they had a one-bedroom place that was going to be available as soon as they had it cleaned it. It was around the holidays, like Christmas, when we were up there. I noticed that on all the doors, they had all this wrapping paper and bows. On the bathroom door, they had a Santa Claus sitting on a commode and that caught my attention. They said they all get together and do those crafts for their doors."

"Country Manor is very, very nice. If you want a country setting where you can look on a field, corral with horses and a hillside, it's absolutely beautiful. They're nice people that talked with us. Residents were sitting around, and a few that I've known because I've been to that one before with my mother and my grandmother. It has changed hands from somebody else, but they're very, very, very nice. All of the rooms were clean. No smell when you walked in. Nice dining room set up. It was after the residents had all eaten, they were all moving about, it was pretty busy when we were there, but it was nice. They showed us the rooms. They're very nice rooms, some with shared bathrooms, others with their own private half bath, like a sink and a commode and that was it. They do the assisted showers. The staff members were very friendly, accommodating, and answered all my questions. They showed me everything I needed to ask for and even showed me a room even though it wasn't ready for occupying. The room was clean. It just had some boxes sitting around things like that. She said she was sorry for that. We were a surprise visit, so they didn't know we were coming. We called and asked if we could go ahead and come, and they accommodated us right away. So, that was nice, too, even though our appointment was for later in the day."

"I toured the Moorehead Place. Everything was about the same, but the cost was the biggest thing. They do per day, and they don't do a minimum of two weeks or even a month like that. It's very clean, and the people were super nice. It's a really nice layout and stuff. They actually have some rooms with step-in showers, which is all I really need. It's super nice and super clean. It's carpeted. As far as the local hospital goes, they're probably within about four miles out. There are a lot of regular and fast-food restaurants on the main highway. It's probably only maybe two miles to the local hospital. There are two grocery stores right there, too."

"My Grandfather was cared for here for 5 years. The location of St, Andrews Village is perfect for those living anywhere around Indiana and close to the Indiana Regional Medical Center just in case. The staff is extremely empathetic and gentle, but politely firm when the need arises. The living spaces are modern, clean, and bright. They have all the proper things for special needs patients who use wheelchairs or walkers. The food is also very good with great variety to keep the resident satisfied. For the more mobile residents there are plenty of offsite activities as dining, theater, arts, colleges, libraries, etc._ The directors seem to value dialogue as well. They actually listen and try to make things as comfortable as possible for residents living here. They also have excellent security in place to keep residents and visitors safe. They also make accommodations for couples to stay together as much as possible too. Overall a very nice facility. "

"Heritage Meadows (Formerly Erdley's Sunnyside Personal Care Home) is wonderful. They go out of their way to make my mother comfortable and do what she needs. Everybody's very nice. There's two to a room, but it's very clean and very organized. They have bingo, a beautician comes in every couple of weeks, one of the girls does their nails, and they have a band that comes in once a month. The food is good and she likes it. It's a bright, happy place and very clean. They're full all the time. The young couple who run it are very dedicated. Everything is great."
