Independent Living Communities in Wexford, PA

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"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 The Grand Residence at Upper St Clair because they have spacious accommodations for the residents. Their apartments are bigger, so that's nice. It looks like their food is really good. The atmosphere and the way they're decorated is very fundamentally different when you think about a quintessential nursing home. The person who guided me was Christopher, and he was great. They showed me a menu for the week. It's a very diverse menu. People from outside of the facility can eat there, and they have to pay of course like a restaurant. I think they take a lot of pride in their food. All of the common areas are very nice. The apartments are a little older than the other places I looked at, but they're clean and well-kept."

"My mom is there the last couple months and this place is amazing they have a ha dedicated team of personal Aides , the food is amazing and the management keeps the place clean and nice now it with the new management in place things got even batter thanks Toni (she is the administrator) I would recommend this place for anyone that is looking for a place for a close one a place that they could feel at home and bean taking care of Thanks Peter"

"We toured The Residence at Bethel Park, and it was very nice and clean. The only difficulty was finding it. They could use some signage on how to locate them from the main roads, like a sign that had their name on it that pointed to where you had to get off the main road. It was extremely difficult, and it was not on a main road. The people were all very nice and helpful. We saw the studio, and it was small. There is just barely enough room for a bed and a sofa."

"My mom will move into Point Pleasant Retirement. When she walked in, the first thing that caught her eye was the fireplace in the lobby. It seemed to be a gathering place. And then she also went a little farther, there was a four-season room, and then you could go outside from there, which looks over a fairly big valley. I don't know if that's the Turtle Creek Valley or what it is, but it does look out over a fairly big valley and there's nothing behind it. So all she can see is trees. And that's good for her. She went into the dining area and she liked that. The second time we were there, we were at the start of dinner. So we didn't eat there, but she did see how the service was running, and she was okay with that. They do supply a refrigerator and a microwave. There is no cooking place in the apartment unless you bring, say, your own air fryer or slow cooker or something like that. The staff was very good. It appeared to be clean everywhere we went."

"My mother-in-law stayed at Paramount Senior Living at Peters Township. It's a very clean facility and has a very professional staff. It seems like a very good place for my mother-in-law to be in. Her room is a suite. It has an area for her bed, a table, and a small kitchenette. There's a bathroom. It's very nice. It's reasonable compared to other places. It was cheaper than some and more expensive than others, but the facility was so nice. We chose it because of how nice it was inside."

"My wife’s mother was at Mount Vernon for a short while. The facilities weren’t bad. The dining area was good and clean. "

"Alexis Manor is very, very nice. But they only offer 1-bedroom. It's very well-run. They bring over the kids from grade school and they put on little shows and play bingo and stuff with the folks that live there, which is kind of cool. "

"Cumberland Woods Village was very nice. It's a little pricier, but I thought it was lovely. I was very happy with the staff that I met. They have a lovely dining room. I went there for a meal, and the food was very good. I have a friend who was very happy there, too. It had a lovely garage and lovely apartments."
