Nursing Home Communities in Lock Haven, PA

"Roseview Manor was clean and nice. They had nice big rooms, two rooms that are enough for us. They provide three meals a day, and I like the setup of the dining area. I think it’s a nice, small place, and I will recommend this to others. "

"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. "

"I am a resident of The Williamsport Home's independent living. I chose it because of the price, it was the lowest I found anywhere. Another thing is the campus itself because I liked being in an outdoor setting. My apartment is very nice and spacious. I get one meal a day and the food is pretty good. The residents and the staff are friendly. They even clean off your windshield when it snows. They have a wellness doctor who spends time with each person's exercise program. He conducts exercise classes four times a week, too. The staff usually responds to concerns or if there's something wrong in the apartments. They're pretty good about that. The place is very clean. I think it's on 34 acres of property. I'm on a balcony that overlooks the woods and there are green places to walk around. That's one of the things I like about this community. When you go outside, you have beautiful trees, beautiful flowers, and a lot of nature. For activities, they have exercise and bingo. Once a month, they have a city bus here and all the residents who want you to go out to dinner at a local restaurant could go. There's usually about 40 of us who go. On top of that, the city bus stops here five times a day."

"As far as the setup and everything, The Oaks at Pleasant Gap was nice. I think they offered some nice things like physical therapy. The lady who toured me around was great. It just seemed a little dingy to me, and a little bit older. There's nothing wrong with that. I think it would be nice for a lot of people. I just didn't have a good feeling for my father-in-law to be there."

"My husband was in HealthSouth four different times. The cleanliness was great. They didn’t respond very quickly to my husband a lot of times -- fortunately, he didn’t fall. He was in a private room and in a shared room at one point as well. There was plenty of room for him. They need more staff to keep up with residents instead of having one therapist for nine different people. I caught several residents sleeping during one of the therapy sessions. "

"I have been in Manorcare for eight months now. The staff is very well, very knowledgeable, very friendly, and very helpful. I am very grateful to everybody. They have an excellent therapy. They are very professional and everything. The whole building is very clean. The food is good. I have not been to any of the activities, but they have an entertainment room and craft room. "

"My mom moved into Bedrock Care Williamsport South Rehabilitation & Nursing Center. There are a couple of minor concerns, but they are working through them. The facility is nice, clean, and well-run. The staff is very friendly and very helpful, and that goes from the administration folks all the way to the people that come in to take my mom to the bathroom."

"The dementia unit of Loyalsock Creek was awfully small. There wasn't enough room in the common area for the people. It was very crowded. We didn't really get to go in a room, but from what I could see, they seemed large enough. It was a very old place, and they were going through renovations, but I just wasn't pleased with the whole dementia area. I didn't think it was well supervised. I didn't like the way they had it set up for residents to eat their meals. It was more like a cafeteria rather than a dining room. The place my mother is now is more of a dining room. My sister and I did not like the setup at all. The staff was very upbeat and very friendly. "

"My aunt was in Valley View Nursing Center for rehabilitation. They brought her back, I think they went out of their way. She was only there a short time, they're pretty good overall, you get full care, but it costs double than the other places. They would let you come into the little community room, with a self testing thing, where you could spend half an hour with your loved one, and that was nice. They always seemed to have really good food, and all their accommodations were good. I never had problems with the staff."

"We toured Buffalo Valley Lutheran Village for my mom. We chose that because it was a continuing care facility, and she needs a little bit more one-on-one beyond a home health care provision. The staff were very helpful with questions. They also came out of the car with the wheelchair to get my mom. They made sure that she had all her questions answered, too. They have a new wing, and we were very pleased with it. They have a courtyard, a salon, and in-house rehab facilities as well."
