Assisted Living Communities in Williamsport, PA

"I am a resident of The Williamsport Home's independent living. I chose it because of the price, it was the lowest I found anywhere. Another thing is the campus itself because I liked being in an outdoor setting. My apartment is very nice and spacious. I get one meal a day and the food is pretty good. The residents and the staff are friendly. They even clean off your windshield when it snows. They have a wellness doctor who spends time with each person's exercise program. He conducts exercise classes four times a week, too. The staff usually responds to concerns or if there's something wrong in the apartments. They're pretty good about that. The place is very clean. I think it's on 34 acres of property. I'm on a balcony that overlooks the woods and there are green places to walk around. That's one of the things I like about this community. When you go outside, you have beautiful trees, beautiful flowers, and a lot of nature. For activities, they have exercise and bingo. Once a month, they have a city bus here and all the residents who want you to go out to dinner at a local restaurant could go. There's usually about 40 of us who go. On top of that, the city bus stops here five times a day."

"My dad is in Willow View Personal Care. It has been very good. I have been up there several times. The place is clean. The food is decent. He has been there probably two months now. He is in a semi-private room. They have a few different lounge areas with TVs. His food is provided. The nurses provide medication. He is allowed to leave the facility for local trips or if family members want to take him out. "

"I have been in Manorcare for eight months now. The staff is very well, very knowledgeable, very friendly, and very helpful. I am very grateful to everybody. They have an excellent therapy. They are very professional and everything. The whole building is very clean. The food is good. I have not been to any of the activities, but they have an entertainment room and craft room. "

"The dementia unit of Loyalsock Creek was awfully small. There wasn't enough room in the common area for the people. It was very crowded. We didn't really get to go in a room, but from what I could see, they seemed large enough. It was a very old place, and they were going through renovations, but I just wasn't pleased with the whole dementia area. I didn't think it was well supervised. I didn't like the way they had it set up for residents to eat their meals. It was more like a cafeteria rather than a dining room. The place my mother is now is more of a dining room. My sister and I did not like the setup at all. The staff was very upbeat and very friendly. "

"I went to The Meadows. The appearance is very beautiful. It looks like a grand hotel. It has a big front porch, and it's out in the country (which is very beautiful). The rooms are good size. The dining room is big, and so is the community room. It seems like they offer a lot of activities. The staff was very, very nice, and very helpful. They have a big community room where they said they can go and play game and bingo. They have a big piano there that somebody probably comes and entertains them."

"We chose Nippenose Valley Village for Mom, because it's the closest to home. To me, they're top-of-the-line and it can't get any better. They have fantastic meals. They have tons of activities. They have a gym, athletic stuff, classes for seniors, and a beauty shop. It's immaculate."

"My mom is a resident of Manorcare Health Services. She is in the nursing home. She likes it there. The staff members are very good. They take very good care of her. She's comfortable and she really likes it there. She doesn't go out of her room. She has dementia. She has a television in her room. There's three people, it's very crowded, it's clean. When I visited, it was too cold, and we didn't visit very long, and they won't let you in the nursing home. It's in the hospital, it's old, but they keep it up. She pays way too much money for being there. I don't know if that goes to according to how much money she has or what. She pays a lot of money for her care there. I guess the food is OK. She eats it. "

"I like the Wolf Run Village’s location as it is near to me and the cost i good. We thought it was wonderful, and the facility looked wonderful. They are very helpful in giving us our options. The rooms are great, and they had a huge dining room. I like the atmosphere, and there is room to move around. "

"Rockwell Retirement Center is a wonderful place. Their dining room is immaculate. They have people that will help you. I need a wheelchair and they bring it down so I can eat and they bring it down to my car. The rooms are not the most beautiful. You have to bring your own furniture and drapery. They're all old school rooms, which have been made into rooms for you to live in. They have loads of activities and they have a wonderful activity room. The library is absolutely perfect. They have an exercise room, and they do light therapy for you. It meets my standards. They have air-conditioning and heat in all the rooms. They have an emergency light system and an escape route in case of a fire."

"My mom moved into RiverWoods Senior Living Community. It is a very nice facility with multi-level units of care. The staff is wonderful. They have restaurants, crafts, and different things going on. It's in the same town where I live, so it's very convenient. I can visit my mother regularly. My mother is quite happy with the food. Their meds are delivered every day. There's a nurse there. My mom lives in a single room. The cost for my mom's level is really good and very affordable. They are a terrific facility. We're very happy."

"We toured Buffalo Valley Lutheran Village for my mom. We chose that because it was a continuing care facility, and she needs a little bit more one-on-one beyond a home health care provision. The staff were very helpful with questions. They also came out of the car with the wheelchair to get my mom. They made sure that she had all her questions answered, too. They have a new wing, and we were very pleased with it. They have a courtyard, a salon, and in-house rehab facilities as well."

"I have my father in Fulmer's Personal Care Home. It's a nice place, they're pretty decent, and he's content there. A little issue was he thought he should get his coffee in the morning, but they told him that they go by routine. That was it; it's just his little peeves -- he just wanted his coffee right away. It's a nice facility. He liked it when I took him in for the first orientation. I feel like they're pretty good; I'm sure it's going to work for him. The staff seems good, too. There were a couple who, when I talked to them, seemed to be having a bad day. They're not mean, and they don't ignore you, but you can just tell from their voice that it's maybe one of their off days. Overall, all of the other ones are polite and pleasant. I don't know any of their names yet, but he told me they've all been polite with him. He's had good outcomes with all of them, like with the doctor who comes in and the beautician who comes in to cut his hair. I've seen a couple of his meals. I've been there different times they were served, and it smelled really good. The first day he was in, he had meat, mash potatoes, corn, and a cupcake, and it looked and smelled good. He even told me they had pizza some nights, and it was really good. He's quite content with his food. They do different activities. In summer they go outside with the staff, they cook on the grill, and they have little picnics. They do different games when they get together, book clubs, and puzzles. He doesn't participate in a whole lot of them because he's a loner. He kind of doesn't get into those kinds of things. The price is excellent for everything that's included and the services. I just got my first bill, and with all the services he already has, the haircut and different things done, the price did not change so that's good."

"I was there for 2 weeks for rehab after the flu and double pneumonia. The room was always clean, staff was very caring with plenty of caretakers. Beautiful atrium, beauty parlor, PT, large showers. Very good food with some choices each day. Nice views out my window, my room faced the rear and looked out over woods and hills. Good temp control in each room. Would go there again for inpatient rehab."
