Assisted Living Communities in Shippensburg, PA

"We toured Green Ridge Village. We like it very much. Like the other place, if you need to go into personal care or anything else, it moves along, and if you eventually run out of funds, you aren't placed out because they both have a benevolent fund to take care of that. We like the fact that the people are very, very friendly. We met several residents. They had lunch for us. Each table had a resident sitting, and you could ask questions freely. The food was great. It is a little more expensive than the other place, but I think it generally is newer. They have a pool, a hot tub, a very nice gym, and a very nice wood shop. They also have a training room. Anybody can work out there, and that would be fun to see. They have a firepit-type thing. However, you have to have one of their menu plans, which are at different rates. They say that it is to help them keep up with what they're able to offer."

"I had an in-person tour of Penn Hall at Menno-Haven. The staff members were very caring. It's close to home. They have activities. They keep the residents busy. They play cards. They paint and play games. They take them out if the weather is nice. The meals looked appetizing. They seemed to do a good job with their cafeteria. They have exercise areas and outdoor sitting spaces. They had very nice apartments. I saw a one-bedroom apartment, and it had a kitchenette. They have shuttles, like some type of small bus."

"I toured Magnolias of Chambersburg looking for a place for my aunt. The buildings were very clean and the staff was treating the residents like they were their own family. The residents were so happy doing their activity and it brought me such of peace of mind showing me that my aunt would be well cared for. It really makes a difference when you go in to a facility and it smells nice , the residents are interacting, and well cared for. I recommend Magnolias of Chambersburg."

"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. "

"My grandmother had fallen while living in her own home. She was in the hospital for approximately a week before being admitted to Manor Care for rehabilitation purposes. The staff at Manor Care were excellent. They are to be commended for all of their hard work and effort during her rehab. It was not only the physical therapists, but also the nurses and nursing assistants who took part in my grandmother's rapid recovery. Myself as well as my family members did not think she would ever be able to live alone again, but to our surprise, she recovered and was able to go home in just under 2 1/2 months. It was all thanks to Manor Care's staff! "

"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."

"Michaux Manor is set up beautifully and everyone is very nice. My mother has been difficult, but they have been trying to deal with her the best way possible. I would definitely recommend them. She's in a private room and it's large enough for her to have her queen-sized bed, one nightstand, recliner, and dresser. The community is located in the mountains, so the location is a little bit out of the way, but it's a beautiful drive. I like that it's not off of a busy road unlike other places, because she had tried to leave one night and it would have been dangerous. The food was fine, and my mom hasn't complained about it at all."

"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. "

"the residential options within the cottages and apartments are very spacious, completely redesigned and wonderful. You couldn't ask for better. The Assisted Living and rehabilitation rooms are also very spacious and well appointed. The campus grounds are beautiful and the country setting is scenic and beautiful all year round. Village residents have alot of food options including dine in, delivery, carry out and grab and go choices. Even in the health center there are always available items on demand in addition to the planned menu. Activities are plentiful and resident driven. It's a wonderful place."

"I visited a resident that is in your care. She is in the dementia./Alzheimer’s unit. When my friend and I arrived I was expecting this place to be like all the others I had been to. I was totally shocked. We arrived in her unit it was clean the floors shined there the place even smelled clean. Our friends room was orderly and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They had activities for the residence. Our friend was greeted by another resident they hugged I had to smile it was like they hadn’t seen each other in days. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs care for their loved ones. "

"I was a rehab patient here. The nurses, nurses aids and physical therapists did an outstanding job. The facility is kept very clean thanks to the housekeeping department. The kitchen is what puts this place over the top. Outstanding job in the kitchen! I would recommend this rehab to anyone in search of great care. THANK YOU ONE AND ALL!!"

"My wife was in Forest Park for two days. The rooms were a little more comfortable, inviting, and aesthetically pleasing. It was clean, the rooms had big windows that let some natural light in, and the bed was good. The room was small, but nicely appointed. The staff was very good, the food was good, and other people say the physical therapy was particularly good."

"I’m here at Thornwald Home; it was closer to my children’s home, so they could visit me all the time. I can ring a bell, and within 7 to 12 minutes, there’s someone checking me out; they’re good. It’s a nice facility. I get along fine, I’ve made some friends, and they let me help out here. The staff was quite well-oriented, the aides were well informed as to what’s going on, and the nurses were up on each individual person. They have a pretty stable agenda, there’s a different menu every day, and the food is well prepared, but not gourmet. We’re very closely monitored here, and every night before I went to bed, they checked me for bruises or marks. "
