Memory Care Communities in Erie, PA

"Rooms looked nice. The staff I encountered were friendly and courteous."

"My mom is very happy at Parkside North East. We are very pleased. She is in independent living at this time, but the support for memory issues is important to me. It will support my mom's needs moving forward. She's not crazy about the food. They have a lot of activities like chair yoga, chair exercises, and travel activities. They have Catholic masses and for different denominations. They also have something going on once a week. She just went to a meeting with all of the residents, including the staff. They do socials, like a wine social on Mondays and 'sweets' day where the staff comes around and gives sweets. They are not eating at the dining room yet because of the COVID restrictions, so they deliver it to them. My mom gets two meals a day delivered to her. She has a little shelf outside her door. They knock on the door and let her know that her meal is there. It is actually why she's not happy about the food because she can't eat with anyone else. They can hang out with each other in their rooms though, but anytime they're outside they have to wear a mask. They have a flower group and a book club. They had a social a little while ago that was right down the hall from her room that she enjoyed. It was people just getting together and getting to know each other. It's good, and they keep them pretty active. I think the activity director's name is Angela, and she's doing a pretty good job."

"The Residence at Presque Isle Bay was a nice place, but it doesn't fit my brother's budget. It's right there on the bay. My brother would have loved it because he's a Navy guy. The staff were nice people. They showed me different rooms. Some were bigger than others. Some with a nicer view of the bay and some were looking at the Bay Front highway, but they were all nice and very clean rooms."

"Manchester Commons was very nice. The assisted living units were fairly large for being just a regular studio. It's a large room, very clean, very nice, and bright. They have a beauty salon, a courtyard, and they have activities. They were playing bingo in the dining room. They actually have little curio cabinets outside of each room within them for the memory care. The facility originally was an elementary school, but if you walk, there's no sign of the elementary school, and they built on in every direction. So, it was very nice and very pretty. The grounds are pretty and welcoming. When we were touring the building, all of the staff said hi to us, and the some of them even introduced themselves. It was very pleasant. Everything was taken care of so well that it looks brand new."

"The Villa at the Lake is a top notch facility with the highest quality of care and the most dedicated, caring, and compassionate staff I have ever met. My parents are current residents at the Villa and they are treated with great dignity and respect. Staff here have a passion and dedication that is beyond words starting with the executive director, Deanna F. to each and every department and to each and every employee. How do you get so many wonderful people all working at the same place?! Service is extraordinary. The Villa encourages residents to stay active and mobile which has done wonders for my parents. It has changed their lives. They have done more at the Villa in less than a month than they did all last year. The Villa offers lots of daily activities (daily exercise class is my mom's favorite) which is great stimulation to participate and interact with others. My parents eat very well, sleep well, exercise regularly, socialize and keep active, all things that make their lives so wonderful and happy. I could go on and on about the Villa at the Lake and every person who works there. The Villa is a piece of heaven on earth for our most precious seniors and I can't say thank you enough for the wonderful care given to my parents. Robin Williams "
