The Best Nursing Home Communities in Centre County, PA

"We chose Centre Crest for Mom. When mom's money runs out, it will take Medicaid. It is a larger, well-maintained facility that seems to have lots of programs. The memory care unit seems adequate, and the staff seems friendly. It is near to my hometown. They have a movie day, arts & crafts, and outside activities in spring and summer with flowers and things like that. The cost is within our price range. "

"Salem Hill is wonderfully unique in the care they offer. The staff is friendly and efficient. They truly care about their patients and work hard to provide for each patient's needs. Dan and Donna are available and willing to answer questions, field concerns, and they keep a personal watch over the maintainence and operation of their home. My Mother received excellent care there. I am hoping she will recoup from a fall that has placed her in a rehab center to be able to return to her friends at Salem Hill. I recommend this facility to anyone needing assisted living for themselves or a loved one. The rooms are clean and tastefully decorated, the food is good, and the care excellent. Five stars to Dan, Donna, and the Staff:-) "

"We toured Valley View Retirement Community, and it was excellent. It was an upscale facility. We looked at the cottages and it's like a 1-bedroom apartment with a 1-car garage. They looked very nice. When you buy, you are guaranteed a place for assisted living and the nursing home side even though you start in independent living. I saw their dining area and it looked like an upscale restaurant. There are tablecloths on the tables with dressings on them. The meals are delivered right where they sit. They have a large basement room just for activities. They do quilting, crafts, painting, and all kinds of stuff."

"My mom is going to be in Windy Hill Village. It was very clean and very nice, and the people also seem really nice. The staff member we dealt with was Erin, she's very nice, and very helpful. The room is very nice and clean, we don't have to worry about a TV stand or a large bookcase because they have those. It can also be taken out if we have our own furniture, but we don't have those things, so she's able to use what's there and it's nice. We only got to meet the administrator or admission coordinator. There were some ladies there doing puzzles and different things, they also have chaplain services right onsite. They have other buildings for different stages of care, so there are a lot of buildings for your specific need. They have a nice outside patio, they have an in-house beauty salon, and activities. They have regular senior apartments, then they have assisted living, and they also have skilled care, so they have a three-tier facility as you need it."

"I would highly recommend Epworth Manor Personal Care I moved my father to Epworth 5 months ago. I am very happy with the care he receives. The entire staff are excellent caregivers, They are very professional warm, kind and very friendly. They make the residents fee like family. They always take the time to listen and give that extra personal touch. My father feels comfortable, safe, happy and well cared for. They keep me informed of any changes or concerns and they always answer any questions I might have. If a family member, friend or you need personal care you need to visit Epworth Manor."

"Westminster was beautiful, spacious, and clean. The whole place was open, and the rooms were nice. They're private pay, and my mother is low income. They had wonderful staff and frequent activities. I saw a lady leading exercises. They had magazines and puzzles placed in different areas for people who wanted to participate."

"My mother was Huntingdon Nursing and Rehab Center. Everything was good as far as the people. Right now, it was in the process of being renovated. They were updating everything. That was the only problem with that place. It was kind of old. Now, they were trying to modernize the rooms. They had a small gymnasium area. It had three floors. They had an Alzheimer's unit in one floor, and it was laid out a little different. However, that time they did not have a locked down facility. "

"Frankly, I don’t like much about Haven Skilled Rehabilitation, but I don’t have a choice. He has Parkinson’s and is not ambulatory. He couldn’t stay in the assisted living any longer. The staff is very good and caring, but it’s busy and big and don’t have as much help as they did in the assisted living. It’s clean. The dining room is just a one big room where they do sometimes do activities like bingo and crafts. They have church on Sundays and other activities. "

"I was there for 2 weeks for rehab after the flu and double pneumonia. The room was always clean, staff was very caring with plenty of caretakers. Beautiful atrium, beauty parlor, PT, large showers. Very good food with some choices each day. Nice views out my window, my room faced the rear and looked out over woods and hills. Good temp control in each room. Would go there again for inpatient rehab."
