Assisted Living Communities in Shippensburg, PA

"Green Ridge Village was very homey and very clean. They had two different places, one was a big old mansion, and one was a regular clinical type home. They're both wonderful. The staff was just really professional and wonderful. Everything was perfect. They had reading sessions, a doctor on-site, and entertainment. They post the meals."

"Visited this home several times in a professional capacity. It was always very neat clean and the residents were very happy. I spoke to one lady who lived here and she said that the residents for the most part were very nice and she felt like she was at home. They are very sensitive to the needs of the aging population but at the same time respected their independence. The staff I encountered here were friendly and helpful. "

"Magnolias of Chambersburg was a very nice place. It was very clean. The residents seemed to be well cared for. The staff was friendly, caring, and helpful. The room that I saw was more than sufficient with nice furniture. It looked pleasant. They had the activities list posted and they had at least 2 things going on daily. They had off-campus activities available as well like they go out for ice cream weekly. They had morning exercise classes and music. If money was no problem and they have a room available, that's certainly the place that I'd choose for a family member."

"The quarters at the Shook is a small, older facility with multiple floors and 30 or 40 residents. It seemed to be very well run. My mom seems to have acclimated, enjoys the activities, and knows some of the residents there. The only thing she doesn’t like are the fire drills. She also wishes they have more activities. The staff is responsive to everything and acts quickly. We liked that they have a nursing home there, too. "

"I'm very pleased with Providence Place Senior Living of Chambersburg. They have a very high staff tenant ratio and a lot of activities. They do well-checks often. The food is wonderful. My father is very happy there and we are thrilled with it. He's got a small apartment. They have all kinds of different rooms. They have studio apartments and big and small apartments. They have art classes, a pub, entertainment, people come in and play the piano and guitar for them, they have church services, bingo, game nights, and trips. They have so many things. They have a library, a computer room, cooking classes, art classes, and crafts classes. They have five to six activities a day for them to choose from. Every day, they put a list on your door and let you know what's going on, and if you want to do it, you show up; if you don't, you don't. The staff is kind, patient, and very attentive. I saw the food and they're amazing. Because of Covid, we can't eat with them. We still have to wear masks as a visitor or a staff member. The clients or the residents don't have to, but we're still not allowed to be in the dining room with them. My father loves the food. It's almost restaurant-style. You go in and they give you a little menu and you circle what you want. You have to take a lot of elevators though because there are three floors plus the basement, and he's on the second floor."

"I was in this facility in a professional setting, the facility was always very clean, the residents seemed to look very happy. The activity boards were full of interesting and varied activities. The interesting thing about this facility is it looks like it was a renovated elementary school and it has a really neat look to it. It is in a very picturesque mountainous region. Staff was very friendly and sensitive to residents needs and responded fairly and appropriately to the special needs of their residents. "

"My Mother is a resident at the Aprontree. On a scale of 1-10, this Personal Care Home is easily deserving of a 10 PLUS. being a smaller home, the residents get more personal attention and care. The owner of the home Betty, has to be an angel sent by GOD to oversee the residents as I have been in care homes costing 2-3 times per month what Betty charges and the residents do not get a fraction of the Love and Attention that Betty and her Staff provide. THIS IS TRULY A GREAT PLACE, AND BETTY IS A GREAT ADMINISTRATOR. "

"I have been in this home several times as a professional. Each time I was there I was disappointed. I visited in the middle of summer several times and found the home to be unbearably hot to the point that many of the residents were outdoors to escape the heat of the inside. I am not sure if they do not have AC or if they don't use it but they have had several close calls and warnings from governing bodies about temperature. I have also been here after a resident wandered out in the heat of the summer wearing a winter coat. He was found passed out and very dehydrated and was taken to the hospital. When I have been here to visit residents I have found the place to have a strong urine smell. I would not recommend this place for a loved one. "

"My great grandmother was a resident of Quincy United Methodist Nursing home after her husband passed away and she was unable to care for herself any longer. My families experience with this care facility was unmatched. The staff on hand was wonderful, and always there to assist my grandma in any capacity. They always went the extra mile to make sure she was comfortable and happy. They also listened to the families wishes and concerns and addresssed them in a timley manner. The facility physician looked after her health wonderfully, visiting her during checkups and as needed. She was sick only once in the 3 years she was there. Her hygeine was also well looked after, as they bathed her regularly, and always did extra to make her feel pretty. There were also many extra activities for grandma to take part in such as bingo, crafts, chorus, and more. She enbjoyed a social life the likes of which she had not had in years. Even though the facility was a methodist home, the religion was not pressed on the residentgs or families in anyway. The grounds around the facility were beautiful, and she loved to be wheeled around the paths to look at the gardens on sunny warm days. I'd say they looked better than most parks, and enjoyed them myself! I would recomend quincy home to anyone, even going as far as to say moving to be near it so a loved one could live thier would be a well made decision. The care is Un paralleled. It was very relieving to know we did not have to worry about how she was being treated and taken care of. Very re assuring. I have never heard a bad thing said about this home by the residnets or families, and many, including myself, go back and check up on resident and staff they came to know when thier loved one was a resident. I love this facililty and am one hundred percent certain if another family memeber is in need of a facily such as this we will be using Quincy once again! "

"It has been very good so far. Mom is sharing a room and she is in the nursing care. The food is decent. The staff is very good overall. Maybe they can improve on their communication with the family members of their residents."

"We had a very positive experience with Thornwald Home. My mom was in the hospital for 3 weeks, and was in need of a skilled nursing facility for 2+ weeks before she could transition home. Our social worker at Thornwald, Kathleen, was very supportive in our onboarding process all the way through to our transition to home health at the end of our stay. The medical staff was phenomenal in their care and ongoing support of my mom's complex needs with her wound care, and the ongoing OT and PT helped her gain the strength, balance and independence to be able to transition home safely. She also thought the food was great, the variety of the menu was wonderful, and the facility was very clean. It's never an easy situation for your loved one to need this level of care, and I have to commend all of the social workers, nursing staff and therapists that manage and triage so many needs at the same time. They truly are a blessing, and I'm so grateful for all of their support during a vulnerable time in my mom's healing process. I can't say enough good things about our experience at Thornwald."

"The entire experience in Assisted Living was wonderful. The facility, the cleanliness, the accommodations for dementia, the love, the food, the care, the communication. The Household (nursing) experience was quite different. While the facility was still lovely and immaculately clean, and most of the staff did a terrific job accommodating dementia while navigating Covid, a number of the aides on day shift gave unacceptable care, bordering on neglect near the end of her life. "

"My parents were at Church of God Home. The appearance of the place was great. It was very clean and their apartment was very nice. All in all, we were pleased with them. My aunt is there and she loves the place. They offer bingo, church services, crafts, and things like that. They said the food was great. I went down with them to the table. I didn't eat the food, but sometimes they would bring their food back to their apartment, and it was very good. They had no complaints whatsoever about that. There were just some things that we weren't aware of and we weren't told at the very beginning. It's like if my parents fall, the nurses cannot come in and pick them up. They have to call the family, or they call an ambulance to come in and assist with that. We had no idea about that. We should have been made aware of that in the beginning."

"I toured The Leland of Laurel Run. What I liked best was the atmosphere, cleanliness, and friendliness. The least that I liked was the price. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The facility was very clean and inviting, with a homely atmosphere. The size of the room was nice and accommodating. The dining area was very open."
