Assisted Living Communities in Washington, PA

"When I walked into Vida Springs Senior Living and Personal Care Home, I could smell that they were using some seasonings in their meals. My father is a healthy eater, so he would appreciate the fact that they make home-cooked meals right there. The person who gave me the tour was the cook. She was friendly. She tried to answer most of my questions, but on some things, she couldn't. She referred me to the administrator and gave me her contact information card. She introduced me to a health care worker that was there visiting one of the residents. The facility was clean, but it was definitely in need of updating. It's an older facility, and the furnishings are very sparse. I don't think they had the best beds and that sort of thing, but she said you could bring whatever other furnishings you wanted for the room."

"I have nothing but praise for all of these employees. They are always cheerful, patient and glad to help. They even get a message to my dad when he doesn't answer the phone. There are plenty of activities and my father is happy with the food. "

"I toured the assisted living facility of Paramount Senior Living-Bethel. It is in a nice area, and it's very clean. I would say it is very well-appointed. It makes a very good entrance when you go in. The grounds are nice, the lobby is beautiful, and the dining area is beautiful. The facility itself is nice. When you go upstairs to the assisted living, the rooms are very nice. They have very good rooms, and you don't see a big difference between the independent area and the assisted living area. They kind of blur the line pretty well. I think it's because they may use a lot of the same rooms, and they just increase the care as you need it, so they don't have a separate area. The people were nice, and the activities seemed to be very nice. They have a nice outdoor courtyard. It's a nice place, and the people are very nice and seem like they were attentive. There was no question that if we thought my mother could handle personal care, that's the place we would have sent her to. We have put money down for it, so we were disappointed that she couldn't go there. During the tour, they showed us the dining area, activities area, and I guess you could call it a living room. It's just like a lounge area where you could sit and talk, watch TV, or read a book."

"I toured the assisted living facility of Paramount Senior Living at South Hills, and it's a very nice place. The people are nice, and the amenities and the rooms are just as nice. The guy who gave the tour was also really nice. It was an abbreviated tour because I had already gone to their facility in Bethel Park. We took a quick tour of this place, and it looked the same. It was a little bit different in the layout, but it was very similar in that it was appointed the same way, people were nice, and the grounds were nice. They talked about the activities, but I didn't see any. I didn't see people dancing around or doing any of that stuff. You could tell the people were comfortable there. Some of them are in worse shape than others. They wouldn't be there if they didn't need some help, but they seem to be well-treated. It was mealtime, so you could see the servers going around. They didn't offer me any food, but they were being nice to the people and helping some eat. They were pretty attentive, and I have to say they run a good ship."

"I like how clean it was, how everything was open and available to all the people who live there, and the staff was great. I looked at both assisted living and independent living. The staff who gave me the tour was very knowledgeable. She gave me a tour of the whole place, and it seemed like she didn't hide anything. It's a great place. They got in-house physical therapy; it looked great. They have a gym, a salon, and an in-house doctor. It was close to where she's living now. It's near all the hospitals, too."

"I went to Juniper Village at South Hills. Everybody there was very nice. The administrator was very nice, friendly, and very thorough with the walkthrough. They're going through renovations. And so the place is immaculate. It's beautiful. The apartment sizes like the studios are a nice, decent size. And then they have the one-bedrooms, and those are also nice. And what they're doing as residents move out, they're renovating each room individually to just update them. And so it is a lovely place. It's so clean and so friendly, and a great atmosphere. My mother has an onset of dementia. So even the lockdown wards, if once they evaluated her, she would be in a lockdown ward. But as long as she has an aide with her, she's able to go outside and do everything, she just can't do it independently. And they've got plenty of recreational areas and little like snack downs if you will. So if they want to have like an afternoon snack or a drink or something like that, that is all available. They have plenty of activities. I looked at the activity calendar and they've got a lot of stimulating activities. Also, I looked at a sample of their menus and it had a lot of great food choices."

"We toured The Residence at Whitehall. They were very nice, but they were above what we could afford. They showed us the studio apartment, which would have been too small for us. We saw the common areas like the lobby, the dining areas, and the craft rooms. They were well-maintained."

"The first impression I had of Brookdale Mt. Lebanon was that it was a quietly cheerful place. The staff was cheerful and the residents were cheerful. There are nearly 200 residents there. They have little dogs on leashes. I hear there are cats. The place is furnished in a way that is comfortable and safe for seniors who have physical difficulties, as I do. As things go, the cost is moderate, considering the highs and the lows of this line of business. I only interacted with two people and they were competent. There's just a relaxed, contented quality about the whole place and everybody that I met and they invited us to come back to try their meals. We saw two studio apartments. One was much smaller than the other. I loved the small one, and that's the one we're still talking about. I did not see a list of activities, but I didn't need to. From what we walked around and saw, there is a little bit of everything."

"My mom moved into Whitetail Springs Assisted Living and Memory Care. We chose it because their care level was higher than the other places we went to. She's got dementia, and the thing that made our decision for us was that they checked on her more in the evening. They have motion sensors in the room. So if she moves or starts to wander, it triggers, and they scoop her up before anything happens. This place had a higher level of security at night. Her apartment was the biggest one that they had available. It's very large and it's like a nicer hotel room. It's a very nice place. She likes the food. They feed her quite well and are very attentive. They'll make something else for her if she doesn't like something. So they have some flexibility there. They keep them busy and have a lot of activities that are suited to their needs of the people who are there. The cost was very similar to what we would be paying elsewhere, maybe a bit higher, but given the extra layer of care they put on in the evening, it's worth it."

"I visited one place, and that was Apple Blossom Senior Living. It was very clean. No smell. It was very quiet and very spacious, too. The staff was very informative. She took her time. She gave me a complete review. We visited the whole building and the benefits that they have available. I was provided with a daily itinerary of activities, what was scheduled for that day, and what was offered to the residents. It wasn't active at that time, but they have a daily schedule of activities, so that was very nice."

"We toured Locust Grove. We liked it. It was pretty nice. We saw a typical room. We walked up to the cafeteria. We looked at their activities schedule and meal schedule. The rooms would come with small refrigerators. I think they said that some people could put a coffee maker in there, but there wasn't a whole lot of room there. So if you were the first person in there, there's room for a couch and a chair, but if you were the second person in there, and someone else already had one in there, then that wouldn't work. The staff who toured me around was very helpful."
