Assisted Living Communities in State College, PA

"It was very clean and the staff were very friendly. We got the chance to talk to some residents and tour their rooms. It looked like a very nice place to retire to. There was an excellent exercise facility set up in which the residents can work out on their own, take group classes, or sign up for personal training. There was a pool in which a lifeguard was always on duty. They could free swim or take classes like water aerobics. The food was also excellent as we were fortunate enough to be able to eat lunch there with some of the residents. As well, they have guest speakers every afternoon discussing things such as history, politics, travel, health, etc. to keep the residents informed and allow them to constantly be learning. I did not hear any complaints from any of the residents; they all seemed to be very happy there! "

"Wynwood House - State College was very nice. The lady who toured me here was fantastic. She was very accommodating for everything. They had lots of stuff, like a hair salon and activities with the residents. They had a craft room for the women. It was very beautifully laid out. The only thing I didn't like was where the dining room was and how it was set up. They were long tables that were almost off of the lobby. All the other places I visited had individual tables, with maybe four residents able to sit at each one. So, I just didn't prefer the long table seating, but the place was beautiful. It's newer and the residents walking around were all very friendly. The staff was also very nice."

"We love Wynwood House - Nittany Valley. It's small and easy to maneuver inside. It's very homey and cozy as soon as you walk in the door. The room that we are taking is a suite, so it's a double room and it's cheaper than the other places. It's also just five minutes away from us, so we can go visit as often as we like. The person that we dealt with was outstanding, very nice, and very polite. I have the facilitator's number, and I'm just able to text her and ask her several questions. She's been so accommodating. I can go in any time I want to get things set up for my father-in-law. So, it's been a wonderful experience with them."

"As far as the setup and everything, The Oaks at Pleasant Gap was nice. I think they offered some nice things like physical therapy. The lady who toured me around was great. It just seemed a little dingy to me, and a little bit older. There's nothing wrong with that. I think it would be nice for a lot of people. I just didn't have a good feeling for my father-in-law to be there."

"This community is located outside of state college in rural center hall. A well known farming community that is known for its wide open spaces and downright amazing scenery. The building this assisted living community is in is newly constructed and is beautiful. It seem that the nurses who work here are all just taking care of their parents. Everyone knew each other from before they ended up in this facility. I would not even call it a facility because it is just a big amazing house pretty much, its very clean and the up keep inside and around the property is immaculate.The grass is green and the folks are happy. It did not smell of harsh cleaners or foul odors. It was quiet a nice place to be and visit. The resident seemed right at home considering most of them spent their whole lives right down the street.I was just so happy to see these men and women doing so well and interacting with each other as if the were back at home.Everyone was very active and the staff made sure of that.

"I'm on the waiting list for the Valley View Retirement Community. It was a very good tour experience. The staff was very informative and very nice. I liked it. It's very nice. I think the cottages are adequate as far as size goes, and they're very nice. I ate there, and it's very good. It was off the beaten path. You have to drive a distance to get to things. They do lawn care, snow removal, and repair anything inside (or replace it). My father is at the assisted living side, and I think they do a good job. They have bingo, singing, and church. He has a little apartment, and it's very nice. It's well kept, and it's very nice.They answer calls quickly, and they're very attentive."

"Salem Hill is wonderfully unique in the care they offer. The staff is friendly and efficient. They truly care about their patients and work hard to provide for each patient's needs. Dan and Donna are available and willing to answer questions, field concerns, and they keep a personal watch over the maintainence and operation of their home. My Mother received excellent care there. I am hoping she will recoup from a fall that has placed her in a rehab center to be able to return to her friends at Salem Hill. I recommend this facility to anyone needing assisted living for themselves or a loved one. The rooms are clean and tastefully decorated, the food is good, and the care excellent. Five stars to Dan, Donna, and the Staff:-) "

"My grandmother is newly residing at Windy Hill Village. Despite my concerns that this would be a difficult transition, the staff helped tremendously to make this as easy an adjustment as possible. Staff is friendly, courteous, polite and pleasant with my loved one. They are quick to respond to concerns expressed by family members and appear to be very willing to work cooperatively with family members. The rooms are bright, welcoming and clean. There are a variety of amenities that are advantageous, including a beautiful dining hall, snack room, tv/visiting room, activities room and many more. The grounds are kept beautifully with lovely hanging flowers and plenty of seats on a patio and courtyard. The activities staff are enthusiastic and inclusive of the guests and do a fun variety of stimulating activities and social outings which enable guests to feel connected to one another and increase their sense of well-being and happiness. My grandmother enjoys participating in these activities when she is able, She particularly loved a recent activity of making funnel cakes with other guests. Meals are nutritious and delicious and come with a variety of options, suited to individual tastes. Even the pickiest eater can find something they like to eat! Other services, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, or speech therapy are provided by knowledgeable staff, should the guest need those assistive therapies. Transportation services are available for those who wish to venture out into the surrounding community for shopping, beauty appointments or just to sightsee or visit a local park. Overall, Windy Hill Village is a thriving, happy place for those needing some or a lot of skilled care. "

"Westminster Woods of Huntingdon was OK. It was smaller than a lot of places. The rooms were a little bit larger than some. The staff was very cordial and very helpful. "

"Olivia Village Assisted Living Residence is a very small and family-owned community. They made you feel like you're a person, not a number. My dad is in a private room, but they also have shared rooms to offer. They can go outside for walks, have bingo nights, a therapist and a doctor that comes in, a cafeteria area, and several different TV rooms. Plus, you can have a TV in your own room. It's laid out the same as everybody else. There's a long hallway with rooms off each side and the dining area. Then there are a couple of different community rooms. The staff is very good. My dad's been satisfied with the food as well."

"I have only great things to say about Epworth Manor. My mother has been a resident at Epworth since September. I really didn't think she would live a week. It is now February and she is thriving thanks to the care she has gotten there. I would recommend Epworth Manor to anyone! "

"My father is in memory care at Colonial Courtyard at Tyrone. It's awesome and we haven't had any problems so far. They're very clean and they're very attentive to my father. We talked to several other people and they recommended it very highly. The people there were friendly and the meals were very good. Everything was very adequate."

"My mom is in Graystone Manor Huntingdon. It's excellent. The staff goes above and beyond. They have bingo, crafts, and other games. There are always things for them to do. The activities director there is really good. The food is good. My mom hasn't had any complaints. If there is something that maybe she doesn't like, they have an alternate menu she can pick from. They have a room where you can have private time with just your family if you want. I'm sure that you could use the dining area if you needed to as well. I think that it's comparable with other places I've checked into. To me, none of them are cheap. They do not have any transportation. But they will call the CART of Huntingdon if they need transportation somewhere. Communication with the staff is very good."
