Memory Care Communities in Lancaster, PA

"I did quite a bit of research before we placed my parents in Victorian Villa. We were looking for a facility where my father and mother could be together. There are a lot of places that don't have the space for a couple. My mother looks 10 years younger since she moved there. They take such good care of their residents. She needs to be on a gluten-free diet and they would go way out of their way to accommodate her. They have family nights every now and then. My sister's been over there and she said the food is quite good. It's a small facility. There's only 40 people, so they can give a lot of individual attention. It's always clean, so neat, and there's plenty of staff. There's always someone there. You always see someone around in case they need help. My father has passed, but they went out of their way to meet his needs as well right up till the end. So we're very, very pleased and we feel blessed that we found such a nice facility for our parents. "

"Autumn House East is a nice location, it's more in the suburbs. It's a very nice setup and a very laid back and quiet community. I saw one of the halls where they're playing bingo. The staff, Mike, showed me the building as far as where assisted living will be at and where independent living is located. I saw the cafeteria. They also deliver to your room so you can eat inside your room for breakfast, lunch and dinner, which is better. And he went in detail as far as the things that the home has to offer like shopping and doctors help and assistance. And then they finalized that by showing me the room. The room was very large, had a kitchen and it, had its own bathroom and everything was very nice. The staff is very good. It's very well kept and everything is clean, there are no issues at all. As soon as you walk in the door, you see people in the hall playing bingo. They had a patio in the front that was very popular, and they had a location in the back where you can sit along the sidewalk. The independent living room that he showed me was very well kept up, the rug was replaced with square rugs. And they explained why they did it, that if something gets messed up, they can easily pull that up and put a new one down. The walls were painted, the kitchen was cleaned, everything was well kept."

"Phoebe is such a wonderful atmosphere along with a great selection of tasty food. My experience here has been nothing but lovely."

"I visited Autumn House West. I was very pleased when I first arrived, because I walked through a beautiful garden in a nice fenced-in area that was very well kept, very welcoming, and pleasing. It was an area where the residents could come out on their own, sit and relax, or visit with a visitor. When I entered, I was greeted right away by a very caring, friendly staff member. I didn't wait long and the person I had the appointment with took me back and explained everything. I was really happy with what I saw, because the place was someplace that I would feel comfortable myself, and signing another member up or leaving my loved one there in their care. I saw one room, and that particular room had a great view of the garden that I had just walked through when I first entered. It was clean and definitely adequate. The dining area was quaint and welcoming, and I was happy that it was smaller. It's a smaller facility, and I just was really happy with everything I saw. I also saw that they have in one of the activity rooms a barber/hair salon. They have two outdoor facilities for the residents to spend time with each other, or outside on their own. I found out that they have bus trips and regular bus visits to Walmart. My uncle could probably use it once a week. I didn't see any food or anything, but they told me that the guests have two choices for breakfast, lunch, and supper, so I thought that was excellent. The facility was very clean and I was totally impressed."

"I visited The Heritage of Green Hills. It is really large, which is not desirable for me. It is clean and modern. The food is very good. I have eaten there several times. Everybody is very friendly there. Even the residents are extremely friendly. Everybody seemed to be happy there. The rooms are a good size, but they aren't quite as spacious as other rooms I've seen. They have activities. They have plenty of social activities and bus trips."

"Wow, I was impressed as soon as I walked in to the community. Everyone was so friendly and the residents were engaged and happy. Had a great tour and all of my questions were answered. I would definitely recommend the community and it's at the top of my list! "

"My dad was a resident of Country Meadow Lancaster for almost 3 years and the care he received was excellent. "

"Signature Senior Living (Legend of Lancaster) is pretty new. The apartments are excellent. They actually have a little kitchen, a living area, and a large bathroom. Their activities are excellent. They have a library and plenty of activities. Both my mother and sister live there."

"Magnolias of Lancaster seems to be well run. Part of the problem is that there's just a revolving door where my mother is, and nobody seems to know her. They're understaffed and the people don't stay very long. The location is good for me, and I think very highly of the director there. The price is a little lower than we expected."

"I toured the Manor Campus of Willow Valley Communities. I would say it's pretty amazing. It's decidedly the best that I have seen to date in person. It is a very large property; they own 53 acres. They have beautiful landscaping. It's a relatively new facility, so they don't have huge trees yet, but they have planted quite well. It's probably the best one I've visited, and it's one of the best that I've seen online. It's very large. It's got a great span of ages. It tries bringing people in, in their seventies and I think they're considering opening for people 65 and older. They want to bring in people that are vibrant and active. They have a wide variety of accommodations from apartments at 800 square feet up to over 2000 square feet. They have townhouses, and homes which they call villas. So, there's a wide variety of places that you can buy into. Their activities book for the spring was the size of Life magazine, and it was 80 pages long with a myriad of activities including anything from tap dancing, language classes, woodworking shop, bringing in jazz bands, and other musical programs. They also have trips that would take you out and help you learn to identify animal tracks in the woods. They had courses on critical race theory and support groups for LGBTQ. This was literally, a place where I think virtually anybody could feel welcome, where there were a ton of activities where you could be around a lot of people. One thing I was never offered, even though I asked for it, was to eat a meal there. I was taken to a snack bar, and I got a sandwich; that I don't consider an equivalent. Whereas my girlfriend who signed up was taken to dinner at their best restaurant and introduced to other residents. They prefer to keep people in their apartments, homes, and townhomes if they can. Meaning, that if all you need is a nurse to check on you once a day or make sure you're taking your medicine, you can stay in your residence and not move into another residence. If you're needing round the clock care, they do have places for you to move in under those circumstances, and they are building a brand-new building right now that will be for full-time care to include memory assistance. That is going to be a tremendous addition to them. I would like to have a meal there, but that wasn't offered to me, and yet offered to my girlfriend who's also looking. She had a different person that she was working with. I did not meet much staff, and I don't care for the one staff person I was working with. They have numerous public buildings, and each one is decorated differently. They have the sports building, the cultural building, and the activities building. It's amazing, each one is decorated beautifully and different. I understand they change the decorations every few years. They have libraries, rooftop bars, and all sorts of things."

"Location was among the factors why we considered Legend of Lititz for mom. We also considered the price point, the aesthetics, the interior for the memory care unit, the care of the staff, and the planning that goes into the daily operations. Their staff's level of training is constantly being upgraded. The administrative staff is extremely helpful. We've been doing this research and evaluation process for the better part of two months now, and they've always been prompt in answering questions. It's very clean, very modern, and up to date."

"At Garden Spot Village, we liked the fact that they have a broad range of activities, their prices were relatively moderate, and they seemed to have a wide range of options for living. "

"I have been a resident at Country Meadows of Leader Heights for over three years and have found it to be exceptional. The organization does everything it can to keep residents safe AND happy. Staff members are outstanding and will do everything they can to accommodate resident concerns and wishes. The community is lovely, the dining staff is very responsive to resident preferences and the entire staff is really approachable, accessible and friendly. There is really a "yes we can" philosophy here, which in my opinion, makes it the place to be for senior LIVING."
