The Best Memory Care Communities in Cumberland County, PA

"Everything about Autumn House West was first class. The biggest problem there was the cost. The room was $2,700 along with some other initial fees. As the care increases, so does the cost, which makes it out of our price range. I think my mom would have been comfortable there and enjoyed it. The lady who toured us was very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. They were having an outside picnic when we were there, and they had a musician. There was also a library and a small game room."

"Autumn House East is a convenient location for us. The director, Michael, was just really accommodating. He pretty much said that any hobbies or activities that my grandmother wants to do, he would try to make them happen. The guy that gave us the tour was really great. He pretty much did anything he could to make my grandmother feel comfortable. He also spoke to her, not to me, which I thought was really awesome. They let us have lunch, and that was really nice. She really enjoyed the food. He told me that they have field trips going on weekly, as well as arts and crafts, bingo, and food themed days. They have a cat that lives there too. Even when we were there at 7 o'clock, people were still sitting in the common areas, hanging out and talking. The place was really nice and clean."

"My mother has moved into Paramount Senior Living at Lancaster County. She's in memory care. I'm just getting to learn the staff, although they've been pretty attentive to her. Her room is very accommodating. Maintenance and upkeep are very good. The dining area is nice. I haven't tried the food, but she's eating. They have a fitness center right there. There are plenty of activities that are going on, so they keep her pretty busy. They have a courtyard for her. The staff is caring and attentive. I would recommend it."

"I just did a quick tour of Paramount Senior Living Chambersburg. It was very clean, and very homey. They said they provide activities, but a lot of it was closed down because of COVID. I've only interacted with only two people, I guess one was a social worker, and the other was the marketing person, and they were very pleasant and very helpful."

"Juniper Village at Mount Joy was beautiful. The staff showed us two very nice rooms. They were preparing for a man to play guitar while we were taking a tour. They provided lunch for us, and we had a choice of two different entrees. The people who worked in the dining room were very attentive to everybody and got them anything that they wanted. It was like a restaurant, and the food was very good."

"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."

"Country Meadows was nice. It would have been my second choice, but the managers just seemed uppity, not down to earth. "

"this nursing home provides care and nutrition as if it was home They try to make the residents feel at home.Meals are served on china,with linen napkins,glasses,and real silverware. Residents are cared for and looked after with the most trusting people. Each Department is good at what they do. "

"The Woods at Cedar Run is a wonderful facility. It is beautiful and secure. Their staff is wonderful. They're my sisters. They take care of my mom and she is comfortable there. Overall, I am very impressed with this place. "

"Artis of West Shore is very inviting and very friendly. It is all dementia and it's all on one floor. There's a large fence around the whole perimeter of the building, so they're free to go outside. The staff is very knowledgeable about dementia, and there is not a turnover from what I can tell. They're really caring, and they know all the patients by their names. The dining area is very close to the living quarters, but the food is just average. They have bowling, play bingo, there's a corn toss outside, and exercise classes."

"I went to Butler Street Senior Living. The staff was very, very nice and very knowledgeable. The rooms were nice, and they're certainly roomy enough. Everything was great. I was asking about their personal care, but I inquired about their memory care as well. The dining area was very beautiful, clean, very comfy, and homey looking. They had plenty of activities. The place was beautiful. It's very clean. It's a nice homey setting."

"My father likes Ecumenical Retirement Community. He likes the people and the staff. He is happy there. He likes the food, and he said it is good. As for activities, they watch movies, get to work out, and do exercise in the chair. They celebrate birthdays, and they have physical therapy and speech therapy. They give haircuts and do hair. They clean your clothes. They're pretty great. My father is in personal care. He needs help with toileting, getting his clothes on, and assistance with bed and showers. If they have elderly people in their families who need assisted living or something reasonable, they should go there. It's a great, clean community."

"We visited the Ecumenical Retirement Community and my dad liked it. It's very nice and we're very pleased with it, so we stopped looking. Everything there was nice and the people were extraordinary. The staff who gave the tour was great. The room they showed for assisted living was very nice. They had lunch for us, it was really good, the food was delicious and my dad liked it. Their dining area was very nice, and clean, and it looked well-organized. They have a few gardens as well. The staff members were very nice, that was one of the things that my dad liked, that everybody was so nice to him."

"I toured Columbia Cottage Linglestown. This one would not be good for my mother being that it is for people that have greater memory loss and have more needs than where I feel she's at. It is a highly skilled level of care for the residents. They have 10 different levels of care for their residents, and they have LPNs and RNs. I have a friend that's living there, and that's why I went to visit it. It is a new facility and it's beautiful. The rooms were very posh and very nice. They have beautiful cabinetry. Very nice and very clean. They have a phenomenal number of activities. They have a salon, and I talked to a lady who was getting ready to go in for a salon appointment. I got to see some pictures of my friend in different activities he had engaged in. Their calendar is full of activities. My friend at that time was watching TV, but then in another room, they were watching a movie. However, there are no pets allowed. There were quite a few amenities. Regarding their menu, they offer several options. They have several different walking paths and things like that. So they do have a lot to offer. "
