Memory Care Communities in York, PA

"I like that Juniper Village at Mount Joy is internally community based. My mother's very happy. The food is wonderful. She loves the place. They've done so well. They're fabulous. Everything they do is amazing because they're so supportive and helpful. Anytime she asks any furniture to be moved, it's done. Anything I ask for, like any medicine that needs to get done, it's done. They're so responsive. For a couple, the room size is small. If it's just for my mother, it would be perfect."

"I have had the unique opportunity of having two parents use both of their facilities and was extremely pleased by the respect they gave each individual. The structure is beautifully maintained, meals are wonderful and invite family members to join in everything. The individual rooms are tastefully decorated with country views out each window. "

"Oak Leaf Manor was very clean and very nice. The staff was very helpful with all of the questions we asked. They had physical therapy, which was one of the things we looked at for my mother. My mother has trouble swallowing, so they also had a special diet for her. We liked the cleanliness and the staff. My sisters went there a second time, and it seemed like they were fine. We didn't interact with the residents. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, and the inside of building itself was very clean. "

"My wife has moved to Viva Senior Living at Harrisburg because their facility for memory care is very good. Everybody goes through a shortage of staff, but their staff is good. They only have like 10 people in memory care, and they have two people on at all three shifts. Hygiene-wise, they take very good care of her. I go in quite often. Up until this point, they've been doing a good job with her. The staff there is much easier to get along with than the staff at the other place. If you have any complaints and you go to the director, they will listen to what you have to say. My wife has a private room. There can be two to a room, or you can get a private room. I get my wife involved through physical therapy and occupational therapy. They have a very nice community room. She liked to do some gardening, and they had a little area outside. It's enclosed, and it's a safe area. They had a beautiful Christmas get-together for memory care. They had a luau for family last summer. They had a nice event for Mother's Day. Christmas was beautiful. They had a supervisor, and that supervisor may be coming back. If she comes back, I'd rate them a ten because she was on top of everything. You have some excellent staff, and you have some staff that isn't worth a crap. My wife should be having finger food, and they're not giving her that. They have independent living on the upper level, assisted living on the middle level, and the lower level is memory care."

"We toured Harmony at Hershey and I liked it the best. My parents didn't like it because they felt that it didn't feel very homey to them. It felt more like a hotel, and they didn't feel like it was a very home-like environment. The staff were very friendly and very nice. They explained everything and answered all of our questions. However, I didn't see as many staff here as I did in another place we toured. Everything was super clean and very new and updated. I think that was very nice. They had a gym, therapies, salon, and movie theater. They also had walking paths."

"We went with Evergreen Estates Retirement Community. It was a more cheery and more active type of place for my parents. We put an application in there if and when the time comes. It is much newer and the layout is different than other places. It is open, updated and more modern. Majority of the rooms set out into a private courtyard, which is nice. Some of the rooms have small kitchenettes and some of them have fireplaces. Their dining room is very bright and cheery. They have a sunroom at the end of each hall. It is just much more conducive. They have a large porch outside. There are all kinds of activities and lunch was going on while we were there and that looked very good, too. Overall, the atmosphere of the place was very uplifting. The dining room was very bright and cheery. They had big double doors that went out into a huge courtyard with a big gazebo, chairs and walkers. I visited both independent and assisted living. They're also opening a memory wing that was under construction. They said in about two weeks that would be open."

"It was my choice for my mom to stay in temporarily for her respite care because it was close to home. Everything was wonderful. Their dining area was lovely and the food was good. It was a beautiful place. The grounds and the building were beautiful. Everybody was very nice and helpful. It was the best facility and I would use it again. "

"I went to Brookdale Harrisburg. The staff was very nice and very pleasant. It's beautiful, and it's a nice-sized community. The rooms are beautiful, and they're certainly large enough. It was a smaller community, which was very nice. It's homey, and it suits my mother a little better. It was very beautiful, inside and out. They had a nice outside area where the residents could sit, and the inside was beautiful as well. The staff who gave me the tour was wonderful. The facilities were very nice, beautiful and comfortable."

"The Crossings at West Shore is brand-new and I like that they have an RN on staff during the day. The rooms and apartments were beautiful, they were sunny, and they have two windows a bedroom and in the living area. They also have many models, so you can go from 333 square feet to 745 square feet, which is the biggest room. They have granite countertops, a full refrigerator, microwave, and I can move in there in a heartbeat. They also have independent living, personal care, and memory care. The person who gave me the tour was great, the activities director was wonderful, and they answered all of my questions honestly. They have physical therapy and a lot of activities, although not as many as the other community we visited. I took my mom on a Fourth of July picnic there and we had hamburgers and hotdogs. The food is farm-to-table, so it's fine. The place is visually beautiful, guaranteed. The staff is knowledgeable and understanding, which is a big thing."

"There's nothing negative about Arden Courts of Susquehanna, other than the distance from mom's current location. Their location is in more of a commercial area, although the facilities were above board and very good. The staff has been very cordial, very friendly, and very open to answering questions. They allow for family (my brother and me) to explore our potential needs and timeframe. The façade and layout were exceptional. It has been in existence for twenty-plus years. All that Arden has is memory care."

"My husband moved to Linden Village Senior Living Community and I chose the place because I had experience with it before, so I felt that it was the place to go. It's like a cottage situation where there are 16 rooms on the outer edge of the facility. Eight on one side, eight on the other with a dining area, and lounging areas in the center. I had lunch there and the food was very good. They have a pretty good schedule of activities that are stimulating. There are usually two staff people there at a time and they interact with the residents. They have a living area. The staff takes care of the laundry. They take care of serving the food, and when it's time to serve the food an extra person comes in."

"I visited and it's a beautiful place. When you walk in, the brightness, the cleanliness, and the friendliness of the staff is overwhelming. They bend over backwards and make you feel welcome. The different places, and the dining room were so beautiful. They showed me the menu, and there's no doubt that the food would be good. They're so friendly and outgoing. My only concern was the walking area outside; there's not a lot of room. They had a TV room, an area for fresh coffee and cookies, an exercise room, and washing facilities."

"My mother-in-law is in Country Meadows - Leader Heights (South York), and they have lots of planned activities seven days a week. There's crafts that goes on everyday, they offer programs and entertainment, and there is a gym where they work with them to help with their balance and strength training. There's a pool for them to swim if they want to. There are also outside activities that they go to. The other nice thing about it is it is one price, that as she declines, the cost is not to go up. She's only been there four days, but so far, I'm very pleased with what I've seen. She is very happy there. The staff that we have met have been very nice and very helpful. We went there last night at 10:00, there was somebody that we could talk to, and somebody actually had come in to the room to check on her before bedtime. I just feel very comfortable with her being there. You can visit her 24 hours a day. There's no time restraint. You can go in at any time of the day or night to check on her. "
