Nursing Home Communities in Scranton, PA

"My mother is in Mountain View Nursing Home. It is very nice. I would highly recommend that place. They have everything that you would want for your loved ones. Food is good. They do have private rooms but most of them are shared rooms. Regarding their care, if they feel like my mom needs some physical therapy, they will give it to her. If she is sick, they will attend to her very well medically. They would give her antibiotics, put her in on an inhaler, etc. Within 72 hours, she bounced right back. I really think that the care and the cleanliness of this place is excellent. I can't recommend that place enough. "

"Fantastic facility! Sharon and the entire staff were just absolutely wonderful. My father was there for a week and he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of! The staff is compassionate, skilled, and professional. Thank you to everyone at Linwood!"

"My mother stayed here for six months. She had a lot of complicated medications, like IVs, and had to go to many appointments. She got good care here, they kept all her care straight and were very nice and professional, did a very good job. She got therapy every day to learn how to do more for herself, and even got her hair done at the in house salon. She liked bingo and movies, and her roommate was friendly. The food was good. It was clean. We would come here again. "

"Abington Manor is very good. They took me in when nobody else had a room and the care, the nurses, and the aides were good. I'm not a bingo person or anything like that, but they have all types of programs to keep you busy or interested and you're not just laying in your bed the whole day unless you have to. It's in a beautiful country. You look out our windows and it's just trees that are starting to turn. The food is getting better. What we had today for breakfast was good. I have a particular taste so sometimes it is good, sometimes it isn't, but mostly it is. It's a good place to be and they are very friendly. I haven't used the activities yet, but everybody I talked to says that they have a great time at the activities."

"I toured St. Mary's Villa Nursing Home for my mother. It is beautiful and clean. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. The menus looked appetizing with the way it was written out and it was geared toward older individuals. If I can remember correctly, they had three different options to choose from for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Lunchtime was their main meal, and then in the evening, they could just ask for a sandwich or something like that. But for the main meal, three entrees were offered each day. I was very impressed with how clean and neat it was. And even with the pandemic, they still made improvements. There is a theater room where residents can go watch movies, there were activities, too. We saw some of the clients having activities in the afternoon, and we saw them playing games and different things. The rooms had a little sitting room outside of the bedroom where they could put their own chair and TV and set it up for themselves. It's two people, but they each had separate rooms. If I needed to go to an assisted living facility at this time, I would go there. It was very homey, and I was very impressed with it."

"The facility is on the smaller side but it gives off a family environment. The residents are always well taken care of. My interactions with the staff were wonderful. They work very hard and never hesitate to help anyone and everyone. The residents absolutely love playing bingo and many of the other activities provided. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff is friendly and kind. Any question I had while visiting, was answered immediately or followed-up when the answer was found. I would highly recommend bring any of your loved ones to this facility. "

"Went there to visit mother an alzhemier patient and right off noticed a spacious ample parking lot with a wonderful view of the valley all on level ground no steps to climb which is nice being a heart patient myself. Going inside found the lobby very pleasant with courteous help at the front desk and a short trip to elevator. Arriving on my floor , I noticed the caregivers were in a pleasant mood and doing their jobs in a professional manner in a nice comfortable atmosphere. Mom was in a good mood and dressed nice sitting in a chair watching TV. Had a nice visit and returned home , knowing she was in good hands.. Thank You All. "

"When my father in law was admitted, I didn't think he would stay, even for the night. But he did, and he knew he needed therapy so he could come home. It was late when he was admitted and the staff was very accommodating and reassuring. The next day when therapy started, he knew he was getting the best of care and got very motivated. In 20 days, he was totally rehabilitated and going home. The therapy department and nursing staff are second to none. Everyone we encountered, in every department, were top notch. It's so reassuring to know that Highland Manor is here when and if we need them. "

"Staff is very caring and well trained. The place is well kept and very clean. Activities involving live music is provided and is well received by residents. Additionally, the admissions team is very professional and well prepared upon initial arrival at the home. "

"If at all possible stay away from this place. Care is horrible, staff ignorant and conditions are unreal. My loved one was not able to move. They would put water where it was unreachable, meds not given on time, call bell out of reach, food terrible and put out of reach before taken away fell out of bed four times and was hurt, Just to mention a FEW of the many things a complained about. Finally she was admitted to the hospital then to hospice where she passed in peace."

"My friend is in the Carbondale Nursing Home. Actually they've been treating her very well, even though she is not happy to be there; she is having trouble adjusting. The room is clean and neat. They have quite a few activities. They really do a pretty good job. "

"My mom is at Timber Ridge Health Center. The staff is wonderful, very attentive, and provided her with all the services that she needed. She has a roommate, but she is comfortable, and the room is very nice with nice furniture. They have different activities, like arts and games nights. The food is wonderful, and the dining area is clean and comfortable. "

"A nice facility, staff very friendly, with the exception of horrible weekend contract nursing. It's always advisable to visit loved one as much as possible. Squeaky wheel. Clean and cared for. Always feel welcomed. One of the nicer ones in the local area."

"I have to say that his stay in this place is 100% better than where he was at the hospital. It's clean the staff is awesome and the food is great. They really are working to help him as well as help take care of him. In the hospital it took forever to get someone to help him shower or use the bathroom and now when you say you need help the come and help right away. The most important thing is that they treat the people like they care and like people. Now we are all happy with where he is. It is a great place. "
