"Golden Living is a beautiful assisted living home. The environment feels like a hotel, not a assisted living facility. The staff is friendly and courteous and really seems to have the best interest of the residents in mind. There are common areas for visiting with family and other residents. Although I did not personally eat the food that was provided, our grandmother reported that she enjoyed it very much. I would recommend Golden Living to anyone looking for a welcoming and beautiful place for their loved one, especially if cost is not an issue. "

"My brother moved to LECOM Senior Living Center. He's living in a whole house that has three bedrooms. He's right now in there alone. He needed 24-hour care. He has a housekeeper and a nurse who comes in, and somebody does his cooking and cleaning for him. It's got a front yard and a back yard. Porches on either side. He's not allowed to smoke inside but he is allowed to smoke outside on the porch, which was a big thing for him too. He couldn't have any animals so he had to get rid of his cat. When you first walk in, you walk into this great big kitchen that has everything, a stove and a refrigerator. These people also go grocery shopping for the residents. They just asked him what he would like to eat and they went grocery shopping for him. Then came down to the little hall and there's a door to the basement. On the right side, there's a bedroom that has a little closet, a smaller bedroom and then you come out of that, there's the bathroom. There's a great big living room, with 55 inch TV on the wall. Cable and internet are included. Everything is included in his rent. He pays $893 a month. There's a bigger bedroom which they just moved him into because the other guy wasn't coming back. There's a basement downstairs, a big basement, and a garage that he can store his stuff in. It's a nice house. Hardwood floors. It's a beautiful house. I've met some of the staff. They come in and they play games with them and play cards and do things with them. They did some kind of crystal thing the other day. He likes it."

"The facility itself was very, very nice. It was brand new, and well designed. My grandmother liked the facilities because they were well lit, spacious and lush. Many good things to look at. The operations of the facility were not nominal. They were very understaffed and the staff were undertrained and inexperienced. The staff often had very little information on my grandmothers needs, they were rushed and made many mistakes. The managment was difficult to get ahold of and were difficult to work with when changes to her care needed to be made. "

"My grandmother was put in the nursing home after falling and not being able to get around like she used to. She was 83 when she moved in. The rooms arent as nice as other homes that I have seen and she has a roommate but other than that the home is a good place. They have many activities and social events for the residents, which is great. My grandma loves to take part and socialize. She really loves her nurses, they have become like family to her. We go to visit her every weekend. She has now been living at abington crest for 2 1/2 years. "

"My mother was at Forestview. She had occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech therapy. We were not impressed with the staff. The wait time was really long. The ratio of patients to aides was approximately 9 to 1, resulting in a very long wait time. Once, she waited an hour and a half to use the bathroom. It was a nice place, but there were no private rooms, either."

"I think there were a number of nurses that were there for a pay check and not really taking care of the residents to the best of there ability. Luckily the staff really liked my grandmother and took good care of her while I was not thre. I just would not want to be on the bad side of the nurses. The rooms were ok, it was nothing fancy. "

"Saint Mary's was a very nice place for my grandmother to stay after she had a stroke. She needed assistance with everyday tasks like cooking and laudry but was still able to care for herself. The staff at Saint Mary's assisted her with what she needed without "over helping" in a way that would further disable her. Thanks to their loving support and assistance she was able to regain use of her left arm and is now back home living on her own. The facility is clean and has an inviting astmosphere. "

"On May 26, 2023 my Daughter who is a CRNA, Health Professional and myself a retired State Drug Enforcement Agent met with Megan J, an Addmissions Coordinator at Manchester Commons. We were inquiring about memory care for my wife. We first noticed the clean and fresh atmosphere of the facility. Megan was thorough in her presentation to us, very personal and pleasant. We were shown the resident rooms, activity and dining areas. We were very impressed with everyone and everything at the facility. Our work background told us this was an excellant facility to care for our wife/ mother. I can not express enough how pleasant our feelings were upon reviewing everything at this facility. Thank You"

"I've been truly impressed with the care my family member has recieved since his admission on June 7th. Every question has been answered and every request attended to immediately. The staff seem genuinely caring and concerned. The facility is clean and has a Pleasant smell. We couldn't be happier. "

"All of the nursing staff, aides, beautician, laundry, pharmacy, volunteers, and anyone I missed ,couldn't do a better job at giving better care! They are wonderful!!!! Mom really enjoys the bingo!! Thank you so much!!"

"I placed my grandmother at Edinboro Manor. It was a good experience. The staff, I thought, was excellent there; they were attentive. The rooms were nice. They had a clean facility, a nice outdoor area, and individual common areas that you could go into with the person you’re visiting. I know they had some activities like different groups and organizations would come out and sing during Christmas time and have little parties. "

"Cory Manor was full, and there's a waiting list. They're still short on staff. It's not great, but it's better than others. I understand it's hard to get staff members in nursing homes. The rooms are nice. They just redid the facility, and it's clean. "
