Independent Living Communities in Bridgeville, PA

"I toured Paramount Senior Living at Peters Township. I saw the assisted living and memory care. It's good. It looks like a nice facility. It's just a little farther than where I wanna go. I'm gonna keep them in mind if I can't find anything closer. It's a forty-five minute drive for me. I was hoping for something a little closer so I'd be able to visit more often. It was nice that they had community areas and their own private areas in case they didn't wanna be outside with everyone. The staff was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. Everything looked clean and well maintained."

"This facility was an excellent. Never once did we have to advocate for my Mum. Her care was exceptional. The hospice care was outstanding. They treated my Mum with respect and dignity. "

"My father is at The Residence at Whitehall. We had some issues coming in, but everything seems to be working out now. The layout is excellent. They need to improve on their communication. They just hired all new staff, but when we first came in, it was a little confusing. Now that they have all new staff, things seem to be moving smooth. They are short staffed. The food is really good. It's an excellent facility. The guys can shoot pool, they have a men's club, which is great for my dad, and they have a firepit where people can sit outside. They have so many things, and they seem to be pretty specific. The activities director seems to be doing what the residents want, which is good. We chose this place because of the appearance. It's updated, clean, and neat, and also my dad knew someone who lived there."

"My mother-in-law moved into Harmony at Diamond Ridge. Nicole, the one who gave us the tour several times, had the biggest impact on my mother. She was very thorough, showing us the entire facility several times, answering all of the questions, providing and explaining the care my mother would be receiving, which met all of the criteria I needed for her. And so far, so good. They're wonderful, very helpful, get her down to her meals, bring her back, take her to activities, introduce her to other residents, and make her feel comfortable and at home. She loves the food. We can also eat with her if we'd like, and we have several times. The food is wonderful. They have a special every day, but there is also a completely different menu, so if it's something she doesn't like, she can order it from there. It's the cleanest facility I have been in. They have a ton of activities. They have art class, cards, and bingo. They have a coffee chat every morning, where residents can get together. They go down to the bistro and have coffee, get to know the other residents, have a snack or something, and talk, which she did, and she likes that really well. They have a lot of different activities. You get a schedule, and it's the whole day. If you want to be doing something every minute of the day, you can be. They go on outings and take them to restaurants and stores. I chose this facility because it seemed the best fit for her. The size of the facility, the staff, the director, and everyone that we have met. It just seemed like a perfect fit for her. All the facilities that I took her to, her exact words were that they felt like home to her."

"The rooms that they showed us at Graceful Care Living just had a bed in them, and that's it. We knew immediately when we got there that that wasn't what we were looking for. The staff mentioned that they have another section for people who are more independent. However, it was still somewhat the same concept. Instead of being in a room, like a small, single room, there were two beds. There was no television in those independent rooms. You have to go out of the room to watch television. It was that type of atmosphere, and my mother doesn't want that. She wants something that's like a small apartment, where she can live in that small space and be able to care for herself. I liked the atmosphere. I liked the staff. They're very nice and very accommodating as we went through the tour. My mom asked questions, although she didn't ask very many because she knew, and I could tell just from how she was withdrawn that she was like, "No, this is not going to work for me." I said it to the guy. I said, she's a lot more independent. She can get around fairly well, but this is not for her. She still needs to be in her own place where she can take care of herself. The only thing that she needed was somebody to help her, like to come in and help her to make sure that she's taking her meds. I didn't smell anything. It was very clean."

"The staff member at Apple Blossom was great and gave us a tour of one of the cottage style homes. They were very accommodating. The cottages were brand new and clean. The kitchen had updated appliances, and the size of it was nice. The fact that the cottages were brand new was the most appealing part."

"Mom moved into Sterling Home last September. The place is nice and the rooms are decent. The only thing I have is that if you want a room with a bathroom, you have to pay more. If not, you have to use the community bathroom. I like the staff. They do care about the residents, and I've never seen them mistreat anyone. I know that my mother has never felt mistreated. As far as the services, they wash her clothes, make sure that she gets her meds, and they provide her with meals. I'm pretty much satisfied with the services that she receives. There are no activities going on there. They are indicating that most of the residents don't want to participate. The dining area is clean, but I think the selection could be better."

"I like Mount Vernon of Elizabeth because it's close to where I live. It was just a nice facility. The staff were also nice. They took us around and showed us the room. It's really friendly for seniors and people who have had a stroke. They keep them secure so they can't get out or wander. They have a lot of activities. "

"We toured Ashton Commons Senior Living. It was very nice. It's a brand-new place, and it was beautiful. They had cottages, which we didn't go to see because we talked about the price before they took us to show us anything. We knew they were too expensive. We were in their general area, and we saw their dining area and their main common areas. Everything was brand new, and the people there were extremely nice. They had signs up that said they had different programs, like bingo, crafts, and outings, and that you could sign up for. They had rides to appointments like if you had doctor's appointments."

"The tour experience at Harmony at Harts Run was excellent. The facility was very well taken care of and clean. They have very nice people that work there. I would give it a high recommendation. The staff was excellent. Everything was great. The food was excellent. The dining area was very clean and nice."

"Point Pleasant Retirement had a lot of what I was looking for. They had very nice apartments and very interactive staff. They offered housekeeping, meals included, and things like that, but if I would get to the point where I need more than just somebody, maybe helping with laundry or bathing or something, you would have to go elsewhere. I knew someone that lived there, and they were very happy while they lived there, but they had to move because they needed assistance more than they could provide. The staff was very nice though and it was a very nice place. It's very well kept and they had a lot of the amenities you might want."

"We went to Vanadium Woods, and that seemed to be we thought where we might go. It seemed to have the most of everything, and that seemed to be our choice in the end. The rooms were nice and alright. The small rooms were almost too small, but the 2-bedroom rooms were just about right. They had a lot of activities, and they had a vehicle that would take you either to a doctor or to shopping. There was no charge which seemed to be good. They have a couple of banks that would come to the place. They had a main dining room, a little workout room, bikes you could ride, and things you could walk on. "

"My parents were at Country Meadows - South Hills. The staff was incredible, very compassionate, very caring, and attentive. It was lovely. My dad would only complain about the food, but that's only because it wasn't my mom's cooking, but otherwise it was very nice. The surroundings were very nice and clean too. They had entertainment and musical people that came in, they had books, lobbies with television, activities, special events, bingo, and crafts."
