Assisted Living Communities in Quarryville, PA

"As a family member, I’m always comforted by the exceptional care my loved one receives. Faithful living consistently maintains a clean environment, and it’s heartening to see residents genuinely content. I’m happy with everything "

"Forest Hill Heights was very nice. They were remodeling and adding different things which I thought were nice for the people. They had a very nice calendar of events. The lady I spoke to was very nice, too. The people were out and about and just sitting in the day rooms."

"What I liked about Loving Care Assisted Living IV very much is that they had more than one nurse or attendant. With the other place, because it was out so far, it was a little unnerving that if there was a medical emergency or something, I don't know how they would get the residents, other than calling an ambulance, and how they would attend to everybody else. I liked it very much. In fact, I would choose this for my parents. It's in the middle of Havre de Grace. It's centrally located right in town. They had lots of places to walk. They said they take their residents out. There's a park close by. It's fairly clean. It was larger than the other place. They have a designated shower area, which is great, as opposed to just a bathroom. The other place had a tub where you had to sit on something and get into the tub for a shower. The staff was very bubbly. I love the way she joked around with the residents. They were all very happy and comfortable. She warned me ahead of time that a couple of residents, one in particular, would ask if they could go outside, and leave the building and it was cute. She was also very knowledgeable and informative. She knew about everything that was going on. In fact, they are getting ready to build an addition. Right now, they have rooms for two people sharing. The expansion that they're doing will make the rooms a little larger so they can accommodate a couple, which would be my mom and dad. They do activities, games, and things like that."

"My mother has moved into Paramount Senior Living at Lancaster County. She's in memory care. I'm just getting to learn the staff, although they've been pretty attentive to her. Her room is very accommodating. Maintenance and upkeep are very good. The dining area is nice. I haven't tried the food, but she's eating. They have a fitness center right there. There are plenty of activities that are going on, so they keep her pretty busy. They have a courtyard for her. The staff is caring and attentive. I would recommend it."

"It was very nice, and my mother enjoyed being there. But just because it was a very old building, the feeling was she would probably be in a wheelchair and they were really not set up for wheelchair accessibility. It was farther from us, so we felt that it would be better if she would be closer. When she went there, she was a person seeking independent living, and they had a nursing station downstairs, but the people there were expected to come and go pretty much on their own and in that way it was fine until she fell. It was a very friendly environment; it was very much like a small town, and the people were like small-town people. The staff was very friendly, but we didn’t have much interaction with them because mother was living independently. We were very satisfied with it. "

"I thought St. Martha Villa was good. My parents were not 100% for it, so it was a very short visit, but I thought it was a good place. The apartments were not furnished, they were just empty, but they looked good. The receptionist and one other person were very positive. It was a short visit, more like an hour maybe, and one day. I just saw basically the room, the reception area, and where they eat. The dining area was nicely furnished. It wasn't eating time, so I didn't see what they were eating."

"I toured Juniper Village at Newark. I liked the rooms because they were nice, big, and spacious, and they allowed dogs. The bathroom was handicapped-accessible, so it was very big, and I wouldn't have to climb over a tub. The staff was friendly and nice. You can get the main dish they're serving, or you have a list of alternates, which I liked, but I had the main dish, shrimp, which was very good. The facility was very clean. I would change a couple of things, but I know that's a problem everywhere, so I'm not worrying about that. I like the size of the rooms. I could get a bedroom that fit my queen-sized bed with two dressers and a chair without a problem. In the living room, you could have a chair, a sofa and a TV stand. They have a lot of closet space, which some of the others didn't have."

"Autumn House East was nice. It was clean and it seemed like it was well run. The staff during the tour was awesome. I liked him a lot. His name was Michael. The dining area looked good. Everything looked fine. People were eating and they seemed happy. They had places to sit, a library, common areas, and a nice cafeteria. They have doctors on site, which is good. It was close to a hospital and everything."

"We toured Celebration Villa of York. The community was very nice. The staff seemed to be very nice. They had different options. The reason they didn't get into contention was because they did not have the option of aging in place. They did not have a separate memory care unit, and I know my sister is going to need that in the future. I didn't want to have to go looking for another community when she got bad. And that's the only reason they fell off the radar. The staff all seemed very pleasant and very caring. They offered music. They had a lot of different activities. It was a clean facility."

"My husband was at Abbey Manor Assisted Living. He was there for three weeks for respite. Our experience was good. There was a lot of gently used furniture in the room, but very comfortable, like living in a home. They were updating their furniture there. They had painted, they were getting carpeting, and they were replacing the furniture. As individuals passed away, they would update the rooms. The staff was very nice. It would have been helpful if there were more, but I'm sure if there were more staff, the price would have been beyond what I could have afforded. Everyone was very nice to him. The food was delicious. They were friendly and very pleasant. They had a lot of social activities. They played bingo. They had a gentleman who was just terrific, very outgoing, and very gregarious. He would pull everybody together and go over the local news headlines and he would ask people, who was the last president and who would you vote for out of these four people if they were running for president, very much orienting people to time, place, and circumstance. They did a lot of wheelchair exercises and tossed the balloon back and forth while they were in the wheelchair. The gentleman who led the activities was excellent. He was able to pull everybody in and participate. They gave healthy snacks out every afternoon and every evening. The food was delicious. You could smell the food cooking when you walked in the front door. My husband had three falls while he was there. He was at high risk for falls and one of them happened when he was with two people. He had a little bit of trouble orienting himself at night. He was used to me being with him at night, sleeping in the same room, so he would get up to the side of the bed to use the urinal, which was hooked on the bedside stand drawer and he would flip. After the first fall, they did at my request put a bed alarm on the bed, and when he was up in the daytime, it was in the chair and if it went off, they would respond immediately, which was good. He frequently needed toileting and I used to worry at night because there's a 1:16 ratio at night. They handled that pretty well. I said, "If you have an emergency, what do you do?" "We pull somebody over from the next building," "We'd pull them over right away to help." I think there may have been some staffing difficulties at times, but they were always able to get someone to cover, with COVID and everything else. He enjoyed his stay there. Everyone was really friendly and they did the best they could given the resources. The price was very reasonable. They offered us permanent placement there, and we decided not to opt for permanent placement. I had dinner and lunch with him and it was very good. They've taken down all of their pictures. The furnishings and all wasn't the biggest issue for me. The biggest issue was safety. They had concerns that they were refreshing their decor."

"My mother has moved into Eagleview Landing. She's in the memory care unit. She's got a large room and bathroom, and they did go through a switch with the director and staff. They had problems communicating with the family about certain things, but they took care of that. She's pretty well taken care of. My brother's only three minutes away and my sister-in-law and I go over quite often. She was falling out of bed when she first got there. My family's the one that went out and got her a safety bar. The family's done a lot to make sure that she's OK, but mom's content. Unfortunately, there are no levels of memory care, and she doesn't need the best kind because she's not completely there yet, so she complains about the companionship she has. It's not really at her level, but it's a beautiful facility. I've been there and she seems happy. I would recommend it. They let you decorate the room whatever way you want, and she's got a lot of familiar things in there. There's plenty of space for personal items. We have notes up for them and they adhere to the preferences of the family. My mom likes to pick her own clothes and they're pretty good about that. I know that they have lounge areas and they have TVs. There was a whole group that was wheeled up to a certain area to watch the Eagles game. She's in a locked facility. They have their own dining area. Eagle View also has assisted living and I've been able to wheel her to the lounge outside of the locked area and you could see another dining area. It looks nice for people who just might need assistance, just physical care as opposed to memory care. They have little apartments around there, too, that are part of the facility."

"My mother and aunt are in a nice facility called Quarryville Presbyterian Retirement Community. Presently, my mother passed away but the experience was great. When we visited my aunt there, my mother liked it so that she elected to go there for the last four months of her life. It's a Presbyterian home and it is very nice. Their service is wonderful. It is a religious-based facility and the people are very caring. When family members come, they are invited to eat with their clients at the facility. Arrangements were made at a spur of the moment and it was very nice. At Quarryville, you don't see people sitting in the hallway with their head hanging off onto the side. In this particular facility, you would see their clients dressed and interacting with others. Even those who are in their skilled nursing care, they're going to different functions in the facility, and that's what's so impressive. Quarryville Presbyterian Retirement Community is so professional. "

"My mother was at Country View Manor for about a year and a half. She was in a bad state of mind, she was very depressed. She was just miserable and she was taking it out on them, but they were very nice to her and very gracious with her. They helped her as much as they could for as long as they could. She just wasn't happy there. I liked it very much. It seemed very nice. She just became very combative and didn't want to deal with any of those people and she got to the point where she needed more care than they were able to provide. She had her own big private room with a shared bathroom. The place was really nice. The staff members came in and kept everything clean for her and helped her in the bathroom with showers and baths. We were able to use her own furniture and she was able to choose things in there. She wasn't real happy about the food. They had put her on the diabetic diet she was supposed to be on, and she wasn't happy about that either. She didn't participate in any activities, but they were offered."

"Amazing place, would place my loved ones here no doubt about it. "
