The Best Nursing Home Communities in Indiana County, PA

"Awesome facility. The nurses gave my father the outmost care . Very passionate people. I would highly recommend this facility. "

"Wonderful, caring, kind, compassionate staff. Every staff member I’ve talked with have been super helpful. This is a clean facility as well. You won’t find staff standing around talking with each other because they are always working. Whenever I have asked for help with my aunt I’ve been met with a positive response and attitude. I can’t say enough good things about this facility. Thank you Laurelwood for taking such good care of my auntie!!"

"The Lutheran Home at Johnstown is very nice, very clean, and the staff is very helpful. My dad has a one-bedroom unit with a bath and it's very decently spacious. My dad enjoys the food. The facility is very well kept. They have Bible studies, get-togethers like ice cream socials or a family picnic, crafts, and exercise in the morning. It's just what I would expect from them for that price."

"My brother was in Westmont Woods (Presbyterian Home of Greater Johnstown) for therapy, but it was too expensive for him to go into assisted living. It's a beautiful, nice, and modern-looking building. They had so much staff, and the rooms were small and felt cramped. They treated him well, but I wasn't really happy with it. Communication was very poor, and the staff was just too busy. They had a lot of help, but none of them could spend too much time with him because they were filled to capacity with patients. "

"We had my sister transition there after hip surgery for 8 weeks. She received excellent care and was the healthiest I've seen her in years. My 86 year old brother in law also went there for 2 weeks after knee surgery with equally excellent stay. Staff was great, rooms were great. They even allowed us to have a family get together for my sisters 74th birthday in the dining hall. "

"My aunt was in the dementia unit almost 3 years- they were absolutely amazing to her - she was always well taken care of , her room was always clean, the food was great, when she had a bad day they would sit and hold her - and they cried with us when she took her last breath - we are very grateful to everyone there - "

"This facility seems very nice from the outside and as soon as you walk in, but after you're there for a few minutes, the real scene unfolds. The staff doesn't come to the need of residents right away but are instead sitting down at a table chatting together, when they do answer the call bells most are not pleasant: yelling, attitudes, mocking residents, being rough. Aside from the unfriendly staff, the facility itself was dirty; dust at least 3 inches thick on ceiling fans that were blowing, scattering dust around, dirty tables, food on floor and tables. We got to meet with the owner of the facility, along with 2 other facilities. He has a crude sense of humor and doesn't seem to get to know the residents on a personal level which to me is a key priority to owning/operating a long time care facility to make the rest of their lives enjoyable. I would never put a family member of my own in this facility, and am glad I don't have to go back! "

"The people in Bethlehem Home was good and friendly. The room wasn't that great. I just didn't like the setup. However, it's a nice place and they had nice waiting rooms everywhere. They focus more on the care that's needed. "

"I ended up in Latrobe for a leg injury for four weeks. They had Alzheimer's/dementia care there. There were very few nights where I was uncomfortable at all. It was OK, and that is why I would consider it for my mom. It’s just a little bit too restrictive and older but clean. "

"I think this is a pretty average facility--I found nothing outstanding about it nor nothing horrific. First, the problems: (1) I found that I often had to track down nurses to get them things that my mother had been hitting the nurse "buzzer" for for quite some time; (2) some nurses, if you ask them a question, are rude because they seem to regard you as annoying them; and, (3) the rooms are situated so that if you're walking down the hallway, you can see everything in that room, in other, words not much privacy. However, if you press them and call them on things that are wrong, they will fix them. You just can't be shy (which neither I nor my mother are). That said, the majority of staff members are attentive and caring and seem to care about their jobs. Also, the facility is very clean--I've never seen anything dirty there--the occupational therapists seem to be very good, and so is the food (and the kitchen staff seems to be very open to special requests and needed diet changes). Everything balances out, so it seems to be an average place. "

"My parents have selected Laurel View Village. The cleanliness is a five. The staff is very helpful, pleasant, and very friendly. They were able to answer all the questions. I have talked to others who have eaten there and gave the food high reviews."

"The rooms were clean and she was happy with the way the staff treated her. Given healthy snacks and great meals. Had lunch with her on many occasions there. "
