Nursing Home Communities in Mc Keesport, PA

"My friends mother is at the nursing home and it was very clean, the food smelled good and the staff was very helpful. If I had to put my mother in a nursing home I would not have a problem sending her there. "

"Briarcliff Pavilion is a lot better than the other places we went to or had my father in. I think the rooms are nice and comfortable. I didn't get to sample the food, but it smelled good. The staff members are all very nice and polite. It is nice and clean, and the staff is on it. "

"Nurses are kind, intelligent and compassionate as if caring for their own family. When you have to be "away from home" it is so important. "

"The rooms could use a paint job to brighten them up. The staff is always kind and accommodating when I need assistance with my family member. It is always festive looking during all the holidays for the resistant's and they definitely make an effort to try to improve the place."

"We have my mother-in-law set up in Oakleaf Personal Care Home. The community is spectacular, terrific, and wonderful. Her room is perfect. They have entertainment that comes in from time to time and play bingo in the morning. They have a priest that comes to say the rosary and have religious services. They have a pool table and many televisions around the place. The food is good; they have fine dining facilities. The staff is exceptional and give her so much care far beyond my expectations. "

"Overall, I was impressed with the level of care provided by Kane, considering they are a county nursing home. Everything the residents could possibly need was on-site, including medical facilities, gym, physical and occupational therapy, even a beauty salon. Residents were grouped on different floors by need (such as dementia, or behavioral, etc). Each unit had a variety of activities every day for the residents to stay active. Additionally, there were several recreational areas on the ground floor for the residents to use, including a library, computer lab, TV rooms, visiting areas, and an outdoor deck where residents can sit or smoke. I was also impressed that for how many residents they have (hundreds), each person could receive their meals customized to their likes and dislikes.However, what I did not like was how sterile and small the bedrooms were. Unless the individial required a private room, each person had a roommate. The bedrooms were identical to standard hospital rooms, with a curtain separating each bed, and a small closet for personal effects. This was a good setup for short-term care, but not ideal for the long-term care that Kane provides. "

"Did a recent tour of the facility while enjoying an event held there It was not a schedule tour. The facility was warm and welcoming. I live in an independent senior hi-rise at the moment. I would recommend going to Baldwin Health Center."

"My husband is staying at Heritage Place. It's a wonderful community. They take good care of him. I'm pleased with the way they're treating him, and the care. It's just that it's grossly expensive, we don't have tons of money, so I don't know what's going to happen down the line. The staff is great. They treat him well and they're kind. They keep him nice and clean. He had bed sores and they healed them. They give him his medication. They're very good. The building is very clean. This is a much, much nicer place."

"The Heritage Shadyside is very nice, and I'm very happy. My brother-in-law has adjusted well there and just the whole atmosphere is one of wanting to help. They have a chef, so the food looks wonderful, smells good, and has been very edible. There aren't any complaints from the people about the food. They have a lot of activities and lots of bingo, which everyone loves. They've had people come in, like musicians, and they had someone bring a dog to visit. They just have a variety of things going on. Everyone is very helpful. When he's in the wheelchair, and he's wheeling some place and they see him, they'll help him. It's unbelievably well run. "

"The facility is very clean and the workers are very attentive. They are very good at keeping the family involved and aware of problems. I would recommend them. "

"My mom is at The Commons at Squirrel Hill and I am not happy with this facility. They are not attentive at all. They are set on their schedule and not on mom's schedule in regards to bowel movement and water. There is no interaction or whatsoever. They give meds to my mom even if she hasn’t eaten her breakfast. They are saying she has a good appetite, but no one knows whether or not she ate her breakfast. Her breakfast may consist of a bowl of Rice Krispies, a doughnut and a fourth of a cup of juice. I think their staff needs to be skilled with dementia or Alzheimer's because they are not. When we first got there, they were very cordial and the care was right on, but there is no follow up on it. "

"I was a rehab resident for 10 days and the Ot, Pt and rehab staff were wonderful. They go above and beyond for me to meet my goals. The medical Nursing stall were very professional and met all of my medical needs "

"My father was in Golden Living rehabbing for about a month. I can't say enough about this facility. The staff was very caring and attentive and the therapy he received was top notch! "

"My father was in Woodhaven Care Center before for rehab. It was OK, but they're understaffed, and there's just not enough people. There's only one lady, and there are 40 patients, but the staff was knowledgeable. I liked the rooms; they have big windows, and the rooms get a lot of light."
