The Best Assisted Living Communities in York County, PA

"My wife is a resident of Paramount Senior Living at Lancaster County Paramount. The people that take care of her really like all the patients that they have. They are very friendly. The place is a really nice place, but it's too far away from us. It's the same food that they give you in the hospital. The food is okay. The facility is very clean. They have guess-that-tune and another one is religious activities. They take them out for tours around the area. They had quite a few activities. The room is pretty good size and the layout is okay, too. The atmosphere is okay."

"My mom's been there for a couple of months. So far so good. "

"I toured Juniper Village at Mount Joy. It's a feeling when you go in, everything looks clean and neat and very accommodating. The only negative would have been the cost, the location, and the room arrangement. It was with a couple and we're looking for a suite and they couldn't do that. I was looking for two living spaces and they could only offer a suite in assisted living. The staff was great."

"I toured Oak Hill Village. It was very nice. They didn't have a one-bedroom or a studio apartment. My sister would only have been able to get a one-bedroom place, but it was more money than what she could afford. The staff who gave the tour was very nice though. They're very good people."

"I toured Celebration Villa of Dillsburg. I was very impressed with the friendliness, the cleanliness, and just the overall appearance of the place. They seemed like they had a really nice program. They had six levels of care. I felt that if my husband worked out there, that might be a place where he could progress if needed. He needs help with feeding, toileting, and bathing, and they seemed to be fine with that. The single rooms were very lovely. I think I can live in one if I had to. Everybody looked very happy. I had a very good feeling about it. They seemed very comfortable. It had a club-like feeling. It didn't have that nursing home feel or smell. Everybody has their own rooms and they do two-hour checks on them at night. No matter what their needs are, they do that. I just felt like he would be very safe there, and very cared for. They've actually reached out to me twice and offered meals or anything else we might need in the meantime. I just got a really good feeling for the place. The one thing I really liked about this place is I asked the staff how much time I would need to give them when I would need a respite, and he said 48 hours. There were people sitting outside, and I even met some of the people that work there, and they were very friendly and nice."

"My visit to the Legend of Lancaster was just really cool. When I walked in there, it almost felt like home. Everybody was so friendly. The sales director was amazing. There was a sign that had my name on it to welcome me. It was a wonderful experience. I was given a folder and talked through all of the different things that are offered and the price points. Everything was explained very well and clearly. They had a beauty shop and a little spa room, which had a tub in it. If someone wanted to do a bath-type situation, they could have assistance with that. The activity area was nice. It was very cool to see all the different offerings of activities. They provide transportation to get residents to and from certain places. The staff was very friendly. They knew all the residents and were talking to them by name. It was just a very loving and caring environment."

"My Great-Uncle has been living at Oak Leaf Manor (Landisville) for about a year. I have visited him at least twice a week since he has been there, so I am very familiar with Oak Leaf. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and well maintained. There is plenty of outside seating including two gazebo's. There is also an outside picnic area and nice walkways for the residents. The interior is wonderfully decorated for whatever season it happens to be. There is also a water fountain inside that is quite nice so sit around and relax. The dining room is nicely laid out and the food is good. The residents rooms are spacious and clean. The staff at Oak Leaf Manor is very friendly and caring. If any problems arise, the staff do their best to accommodate you as quickly as possible. There are a lot of activities for the residents, including BINGO, a theater room, scenic bus rides, crafts, and veterans activities. Overall Oak Leaf Manor has a very comfortable friendly atmosphere. If you are looking for a home for a loved one who can no longer live alone, I highly recommend Oak Leaf Manor. "

"The staff were extremely great to be around. Since it’s a small community everyone got to know each other and it was very fun to see my grandma get to be cheerful and lively during her last few months there. It was everything we needed for her. I knew she was in great hands seeing the staff welcome her with open arms. For being a small community, it sure is a wonderful place to be at."

"On July 20, 2023 my dad had a fall. After being hospitalized and inpatient rehab, we felt he needed 30 days in assisted living. This was devastating to us both as my dad is very independent. Melissa jumped in and made the process of having dad placed at Viva so comforting. Anytime, I need anything Melissa and Millie are always there fore me along with the other staff. I cannot say enough about Viva and their staff, they make you feel like family. "

"We visited Harmony At Hershey. It was okay, but it's a multistory building where you have to use an elevator, and the hallways were pretty long. Additionally, the number of seniors it housed was a little too high for us. The rooms were very beautiful. It's a little more expensive, and they have a lot of a la carte extras. You pay more for each thing, whereas other places include laundry and cleaning services. The amenities are very nice. They have hair salons, a movie theater, outdoor space, and other nice features. They also have a game room, which is a bit larger than the ones at other places. Lisa was very knowledgeable, and it's a newer building."

"We toured Traditions of Hershey. The people were very nice. They explained everything. We got to see a room, and she went over pricing, and we're interested in that facility. My mother was in a wheelchair. She was cold, and the receptionist gave her a blanket to use while we were there. It was very organized. They had a menu on the wall so that we could see what they were serving today. The eating area was set up nicely, with tables and napkins, so it looked professional. Everything was clean. The carpeting was nice, and the walls were clean. It was a very nice room."

"My mother is in Evergreen Estates Retirement Community. Everything I needed, they were OK to do, especially the price. She's under the care of assisted living. The staff is very good. They do everything for her. They do stuff that keeps the residents busy. They offer everything that she needs, and they take care of them. In their regular suites they have everything, but in their suites for the mentally disabled they don't have any amenities. It's very clean. It's near restaurants and maybe ten blocks from the hospital."

"I toured Legend at Silver Creek. I liked the feel of the vibe. It had a good vibe. It wasn't so big that you felt lost. There was a feeling of community. It's relatively new, so that always makes you feel better and it just feels like some place you'd want to move to. This lady was extremely thorough, and she's ready to fight maybe for different reasons, but I certainly don't think she rushed us through there."

"My father moved into Brookdale Grandon Farms. It just seemed like the best fit for him. Everyone that I spoke with has helped me a lot through this whole process. I couldn't have done it without them. His room is very nice and very spacious. He's in a one room by himself, and they keep it clean. They take care of the property. The staff has been wonderful. They're good with the residents. You can tell that the residents like them, and they have a good relationship with each other. So far, I don't have a complaint about any of them. The food is very good. They do dog therapy twice a week. They have exercise, yoga, and music."
