Assisted Living Communities in Wellsboro, PA

"The tour I had at Brookdale Painted Post was very good. The facilities are a bit dated, but it's still in very, very good shape. The residents seemed happy to be there and I believe the care is quite good in all honesty. I'm sure it is. The person that gave the tour was very good and very dedicated to what she was doing. They're a little pushy, trying to get people in there, but it's a corporate thing and I'm not condemning them for that. They just have a little bit different attitude from the other facility I visited. The dining area was very nice, and one thing I liked was they insisted on the residents getting out of their rooms and coming down and participating, which I think is a good thing, for them to get out and socialize."

"My mom moved to Wellsboro Shared Home. It is an older home, but it's a nice and well-kept place with nice folks. They have activities such as bingo and decorating activities in the dining room. They also have laundry services and if you need to go to the hospital or pharmacy, they have a driver for you."

"The Laurels were a lot cheaper. It was very nice and I was happy with them. It was clean and the staff was very nice too. From what they said, they would do what you want. They have activities for the seniors, and the food and dining area were nice. I liked everything about it. They have a nice, very clean, and open dining room with round tables. The people that were sitting there seemed pleased and looked like they had good meals. Their menu for the coming two weeks is up on the board so that they can see what they want. If it's your birthday, you can choose the dinner of your choice and they have a lot of nice amenities for the place. The lady said they took them to ballgames, to ice cream, play games, do puzzles, take them shopping, and do different things."

"Rooms are great. My aunt seems to be comfortable. The staff is excellent to work with, always keeps me informed since moving to Florida. We are very fortunate to have her at the facility."

Sherwood Retirement and Personal Care Home is a "private pay" home established in 1999 by owners and administrators Jim and Karen Sherwood, who reside in the home as well. Initially we had one wing, our East wing and later in 2003 we expanded our home to include a West wing to give us a total of 24 private /semi-private bedrooms. This expansion also included a formal dining room, sitting room, parlor, living room, family room and additional laundry space. We maintain a commercial well and septic system for the personal care home and we are currently licensed for 27 residents. We are situated on 38 acres of land 1.9 miles East of the red light on Route 414 in Canton, Pa. Our facility is all ground floor access and living, has spacious flat maintained grounds, many patios, wide sidewalks and sits a good ways back away from the main highway. We believe we're the right choice when considering a retirement and personal care home. We want to help you make the right decision for your individual situation.
