The Best Memory Care Communities in Butler County, PA

"My sister and I choose Arden courts for Our Mom , almost 2 years ago, for their friendly and helpful staff and the cozy homelike environment they provide their residents. I visited a couple of places before choosing, and Arden was the best fit for us. They are there for their residents, always with a smile a kind word and conversation. I’ve gotten to know many of the staff there and they have always been happy to stop and have friendly chat while I am visiting with my Mom. They know their residents likes, dislikes and preferences. They also have many activities for their residents to choose to participate In, From religious gatherings to music, art and movies. They are happy to help with any concerns or questions you may have about your family member or your well being. During the pandemic they have done an excellent job at keeping the residents as safe as possible. Though it was difficult not seeing Mom for awhile they quickly got Face Time calls in order so we could talk to Mom face to face. I would definitely recommend Looking into Arden courts North Hills to Anyone seeking memory care. "

"My mom is at the place called The Haven. It is nice for the price, which is reasonable: $3,000 for rent; and maybe $250 for the level of care; and $20 for table. It is well kept with nice people and good food. The rooms are large. "

"My mom was at Norbert Personal Care and her experience was good. They worked with her, and they got her to where she could move into an independent living facility. She loved the staff, and my mom even went back to help the director in charge of activities with the Christmas party; that's how much she loved it. The room was very spacious and clean. They were having some staffing issues, the cook walked out, and the food declined. The activities were awesome."

"My father is here for four months now. It is very nice and we like it. They take good care and they pay attention to him. He likes the food there also. He has a private room which is very comfortable. We are very happy and we can visit him almost every day. They have weight and exercise classes and they have movies. It seems to be very nice for him."

"I liked Apple Blossom a lot. It was very clean, it was simple, it wasn't glitzy at all, it was easy to get around, and that's what I liked about it. I toured with the executive director, and she was very nice and informative. They had a courtyard in the center. They do your laundry, and they transport you to the doctors. The amenities were great. I did not try the food, but the menu was good. It was very clean and very nice."

"The team at Juniper Village works very hard to ensure each resident is cared for in a way that is individualized. The Administrator's responsiveness and involvement are above and beyond. "

"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."

"Mom is in Arden Courts of Monroeville. It is absolutely beautiful. The caregivers there really do care about the patients or the residents. It is set up like an actual home. There are four corners to the building. Each corner is considered a home, and there are 10 bedrooms I think. Each one has a living room, dining room, and a kitchen. It has a very homey atmosphere there. It has a front porch and a back porch for every home. The residents there can walk through the facility. They can go outside if they are assisted. There are alarms everywhere, so when you come in and leave the facility, you have to punch in the code. So, it is very safe. It is very clean. They do the laundry for you. They do all the cooking. It is wonderful. "

"We all volunteered to visit members of our church who are in the local facilities. It was always nice, clean, and cheerful looking. The rooms were clean and roomy. Sometimes we would walk in, and they'd be playing bingo or passing a ball around. They were pretty secure. You either ring a bell or sign a note before they let you go through the main part of the building. I do recommend them, and in fact I have a distant aunt there now, but I haven't been up to visit her. "

"I toured the facility for assisted living for my mom, an Alzheimer's patient. While the tour was very informative and helped me make my decision to place Mom there, I would have liked to know at the beginning that we could also have hospice care, if she qualified. She is now on hospice, but she could have been before now. The home is an excellent environment for Mom. She is comfortable, happy and safe. "

"I chose Locust Groove for the lady that I had a power-of-attorney because the building was large, and I was looking for memory care. I had looked at many more, and they were usually more expensive and more of a hospital type. This one was an old school, and it looked more like your living room. It was excellent. The experience there was wonderful. She was there for four months, and there wasn't a mark on her body. She was beautiful until the time of her death. The rooms had showers, so they could put her in the wheelchair while getting into the shower and transferred her on to a bench and she was able to take a shower. That was something that not every place could do. The food was excellent. She loved the food. There was always something different. The dining room looked like you were going into a restaurant. There were tables for four. It was in a beautiful area. The activities, I thought, were outstanding. They had exercises. For instance, they had some foam noodles that you used as a kid. They cut them in half, and they were all in different colors. The activities director would have everyone in the living room area, give out the different noodles, and then they would exercise -- red noodles up, green noodles to the side, and blue noodles to the other side. Every day you had a different-colored noodle, you would exercise a little differently. They loved it because it also helped their memory, since they were color coordinated. I would absolutely recommend it. "

"My parents have individually lived in senior care for the past 8 years. My mother lived for a short time in assisted living and then moved to the memory care neighborhood at Newhaven. Mom's move to memory care was the most wonderful gift we could have given her. Hesitant at first to move her, the staff met with us multiple times, compassionately and factually outlining Mom's strengths, struggles, and needs, leading us to try the memory care neighborhood. We were amazed to watch Mom IMPROVE in her new community, making friends, participating, enjoying life - things we would have never believed possible. Her quality of life was raised to the highest level possible for her. She delighted in her friends, her lovely home, and the focus on things she could do, not on things she could not do. No situation is without some challenges, however, from the director through his wonderful nurses and staff, we all worked together to give Mom the best life possible. When concerns arose, we always were met promptly and always, always felt as if our concerns were the most important things the staff had to deal with. So, last spring when it was time to consider a move for Dad, the hardestpart was done. Nowhere but Newhaven was even considered. Dad lives independently in his apartment at Newhaven, enjoying the people, the meals, the activities. While Dad's situation, and personality, is vastly different from Mom's, the staff has again demonstrated their adaptability by tailoring his plan uniquely to him. The facility is beautiful - a place where people are proud to live and visit. Quality is evident in the building, the food, the common areas, and most important of all, the people. When your loved one lives at Newhaven Court, they do not live with employees, they live with family - people who care for them as if you were doing it yourself. When leaving Newhaven after a visit, I have no misgivings, I have complete peace of mind."

"The quiet location of Valencia Woods at St. Barnabus will lure you to tour this facility. They are located in Valencia, PA which is a quaint community and also offers many parks, restaurants, and shopping as well. They have a considerable amount of staff to take care of the patients. They offer their patients the care that you would want your family member to receive. Many of the residents are out and about the facility and interacting with the staff and other residents. They also have many support groups for a variety of conditions such as: Cerebral Palsy, Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. When there is a support group for you it will help to keep a person learning about their disease. This makes someone feel more secure and know what to expect if something changes. Anytime a facility offers ongoing support and education it is wonderful for you as the patient and helps provide reassurance that you are not alone. Tour this facility and you will love the location and wonderful things the staff are doing for the patients. "

"I was very pleased with the over-all atmosphere of Worthington At Adams. I have been to other nursing homes in the past and most of them have felt like being in a hospital in which someone has covered up the machinery with blankets and taped over any reference to medicine in order to give the establishment the facade of a regular tenement. At Worthington, the decor and environment have a genuine, warm, personal arrangement.The staff who attended the patients were generally personable and compassionate toward the residents. I did not hear any complaints from my aunt or any of the other residents about the quality of care they received. Everyone seemed to be pleased with how they were treated. I did, however, notice that some of the administrators -- those who worked in the front office greeting and directing people -- seemed irritated or inconvenienced by some of the residents, which I feel is inappropriate.I would certainly recommend Worthington At Adams to others who need to find an assisted living home for themself or a loved one.
