The Best Nursing Home Communities in Pike County, PA

"My wife was in Barn Hill, and I would say it was a nice place. I thought the care was very good. They even greeted me like an old friend. I liked it. She was in the Alzheimer's section, and they take care of them great. They had a movie almost every day, and when they didn't have a movie, they played games, they had a little activity going on, and we know that most Alzheimer's patients can't do everything. I thought it was a section that was specialized for Alzheimer's or people like that, and it was very good. They don't let them walk alone; the staff there was excellent. It seemed like an older facility. I think it was a nice clean place even as the older section. Anything that was dropped on the floor was quickly picked up; it was clean. Everything seemed to be in order, great. It was good. "

"I like Andover a lot, but my husband had fights with his roommates. The staff was exceptional. One lady, Helen, always helped me every time I had a question or needed something. She wanted to get my number so she could call and check up on George. We really got to know each other. There are always activities going on there. "

"My father is in Highland Rehab. The staff is very caring and very helpful. The rooms are actually pretty large. They have all kinds of activities. They have music programs, they do arts & crafts, they have entertainment come in, and they have a whole calendar of games and current events. Highland Rehab use to be St. Teresita's. They changed name with the new owners. "

"Avoid this place if possible. Very understaffed and patients must wait up to 45 minutes to use the bathroom. Staff hide from the request bells and seem to disappear. Many of the CNAs have bad attitudes. The food is not good. Each room has a TV per patient. The floors are not swept everyday. Many activities for patients to participate in."

"I have been here several times and it is always very clean and the patients seem happy. I always see the patients playing games, having therapy, or talking with other patients. The nursing staff also are very nice and you can tell they really care for the patients."

"My mom stayed at Valley View Center for rehab. It's just like an older facility. It could have used some fresh paint. The staff is very good. They took good care of my mom."

"Rooms are decent. Food is less than desirable, cold, and unappealing. So sad they can’t improve the meals since this happens to be the highlight of the day for many residents. Staff is warm and friendly, helpful, kind and considerate."

"My husband is in Schervier Pavilion. The nursing care is excellent. The doctor is very caring. Generally speaking, it's a pleasure to be there. I've spent days there myself keeping him company and they're very kind. He's a difficult patient, and they never lose their temper. He's difficult in that he's not eating, so they try to coax him into eating and try to please him in any way they can. They like him, and he enjoys them as well. He likes his physical therapist, so he's giving him full cooperation. Generally speaking, we're very, very pleased, me and the family. I tasted the food for my husband because he won't eat it, so I tasted it, and it's quite delicious. I tried to coax him into eating it, that's why I tasted it. I tell him, 'The queen has a taster, so she doesn't get poisoned, so I will taste your food so I could tell you how good or bad it is.' It's usually 99% of the time quite good. He doesn't go to any activities because he doesn't want to be there, so he's being very adamant about doing anything. He does go to physical therapy, he likes the therapists, but he doesn't go to any programs. They do have quite a number of programs every week, but he doesn't go to anything. It's all covered by Medicare and AARP."

"Mom had stayed at Elant for short-term rehab. The place was nice and clean. Everything was fine and I liked it a lot. The staff was fine, hardworking, nice, helpful and friendly. They did a very good job getting her up on her feet and walking again. She had a smaller private room with a private bath, which was spacious enough for her. The food was fine and it only cost me $2 dollar if I ate with her. However, they didn't have enough activities to keep her busy so she got bored and she kept trying to escape from there. They needed to have more activities. "

"Elant Inc was great and almost like the grounds of a nursing home where they make sure you get your meds and everything. They showed me one specific room, which was a studio."
