The Best Nursing Home Communities in Washington County, PA

"The staff is very friendly, for starters. The rooms are always clean (both the visiting rooms and the senior's rooms). There's a pretty warm atmosphere, and my grandmother seems to enjoy it there. She says their rehabilitation program is really good, but I'm not exactly qualified to judge it. It has helped her knee significantly though. On the negative side, the food could use a little sprucing up. It's about on par with hospital food. I mean, I guess it's nutritious enough, but it's certainly not the greatest tasting (or looking) food. Presbyterian SeniorCare also is not the greatest with paperwork. They lost my grandmother's papers twice, and they've been known to loose other people's papers as well. They could probably use some better organizational skills in their managment department. THey eventually found the papers, but it was a headache in the meantime. All in all though, I would definitely reccomend Presbyterian SeniorCare to those with elderly loved ones. It's warm, friendly enviornment outweigh a little unapetizing food and slight disorganization any day. "

"I'm very happy with Transitions Healthcare. The place is always clean and they have adequate personnel. Everybody who work there is very kind and my mother is very well taken care of. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the place. They have a lot of activities. Every time I go there to see my mother, she's always clean. All the residents are treated with respect and they all look like they’re very well taken care of. They don't smell like feces or urine. They all look like they're happy and not drugged. They're all interacting with each other and they play games. I'm very pleased with the place. My mom likes the food and says it's good."

"I visited Friendship Village of South Hills independent living for my friend. I found it to be open, welcoming, and bright. There were lots of windows in the corridors. They also have multiple levels of care. The staff seemed very nice. I also spoke to a resident who was very happy there, and that just happened, it wasn't even planned. The person who did the tour and talked with us was very informative and very good. We ate in their bistro and it was good. They've got an open brick oven where they make pizzas, grilled sandwiches, and salads. The food was decent, I wouldn't say it was five-stars, but it was good. We saw a room and got a feel for that. It's small but has nice, big windows. They have enough amenities in the apartments, like a refrigerator and microwave. They have a training room and physical therapists who come in. If you need physical therapy they'll bring it to the therapy room, or you can just use the room yourself if you want. They have barbells and a couple of treadmills there. If you need more care than independent daily living then they have internal staff that actually do things like cleaning your apartment twice a week. You have your own washer and dryer in your apartment, and they will do your laundry once or twice a week."

"My mom is in The Grove at Washington for rehab. She likes it, she said they take good care of her, they are very nice to her, and she has no complaints whatsoever (other than we can't see her, but obviously that is the case at most places with COVID). They brought her in a wheelchair to the front window so that my dad could give her some Valentine's Day gifts through the window, but that has been all. She said the food is good. From the outside it doesn't look that great. It's an older building, but it seemed clean from what I can see when I drop things off. When she was in the hospital for ten days, the hospital never told us she had a bedsore and a stroke. When she went to The Grove they found it. Now the bedsore is gone, and they said the stroke has affected that side of her brain -- the walking part. She's standing now; they didn't want to rush her. They keep in contact with my sister."

"My mother recently spent a month at Meadowcrest. Not a woman known to be easy to please, nevertheless, she was exceedingly happy there. The staff was very kind and attentive to her needs. The facility, though less picturesque than some, was clean and well maintained. Neither I, nor she would hesitate to recommend this place for a loved one."

"My grandmother has been in and out of a total of 7 rehab/nursing home facilities. This one is by far a very nice, clean facility. The staff is excellent, they actually care. They have a great rehab, good food and a great event calendar to get socialization for the elderly residents. You will be glad you chose this location for your loved one. It is a relief to know they will be in good hands. Believe me, it took me a while to find this one. I have spent a lot of time researching and visiting. Very nice and happy with my choice on this nursing home. "

"My mom has moved into Country Meadows - South Hills. It's close to my house, so that's a plus. At first, my mom was in an isolation room. Then they moved her into a different room, but I have never seen it, so I don't know what her room looks like right now. Nevertheless, the marketing person was phenomenal. She was so helpful, and she made it very easy for me to go through the process. My mom said the food is good; however, I don't believe she has done any activities. She also thinks they don't answer the call bell when she calls; she said no one comes. I was there when my mom moved in. The facility was beautiful, and the atmosphere was friendly, lively, and upbeat, too. The times I have been there, they were doing some music trivia, and then another time, they were playing bingo."

"My mother has moved into Mt. Lebanon Rehabilitation and Wellness Center, and without knowing about them, I like their physical location. It is close to both my mother's home and my home once I move back to my house. The second thing was that it was recommended by both the VA and hospice company I have worked with. The third thing was they were going to give her a private room. First of all, it was for COVID, even though she'd been vaccinated. They have strict regulations, and they needed to isolate her for a certain amount of time. If there is a room close to the nursing station, a semi-private room, they would move her there, but there hasn't been an opening, so she has a private room right across from the nursing station. She gets up to walk, they would know, and they are right there to make sure she doesn't fall, those were the things we like. The thing that caught us off guard was two days after she was admitted, a nurse called me to tell me that she had fallen at 5:00 a.m. coming back from the bathroom. I thought, since you have the staff, and you knew from the information provided that my mother would fall if she left the room. They don't have the pads on the bed that make a big noise if the patient gets up to alert the nursing staff that she's out of bed. They said they don't have it, but we will be putting them in, and they did. She hasn't fallen since. Also, my sister and I took clothes for her, and within two days there were no clothes in her closet. The clothes that were there were from a community where clothes are donated for people that don't have somebody to provide clothes for them. I thought we had provided lovely things, like robes, pajamas, casual tops, sweatpants, and her favorite sweatshirt, but they were all gone. I understand how that gets mixed up in the laundry, and we hadn't had time to put names in or think about that, but I was just concerned that it happened so quickly, and everything was gone. There was not a thing that we had that was still in the room, so that was a concern which I brought up. For the most part, I had labeled them all, and they're all coming back to her, so those issues have been resolved. It's not just nursing staff, but there's a lot of support staff. I'm there visiting in and out constantly now, and I've never seen her doctor. I rarely, unless I ask for it, see a nurse, but aides, food service people, and the personnel that bring her food and talk with her, know her. I don't necessarily care if they're nurses or not. I need people that care about her or recognize that she might need something that she hasn't. That, they do very well, the staff that I've seen coming in and out of her room. She doesn't leave her room much, but she has started to. She has started to go out of her room, and sit in a chair right outside her room, which is steps away from the nursing station, just watching activities. I don't know if they have activities. She's not a joiner, but she likes chatting with everybody, so she's being friendly, and receptive, and not frightened."

"The rooms are large and staff is friendly. The skilled nursing floor is clean and welcoming. The nurses really are awesome and the aids are wonderful. Any requests I had on behalf of my family member were met as best and possible. Not much in the way of amenities but the staff more than makes up for that. "

"My mother is in Havencrest Nursing Center. It's close to home because we live out in Monongahela. Everything has been great. The staff is very good and very helpful. They have a meeting room, and luncheon room, they have parties, and they have an outdoor courtyard. It's near a hospital, but nothing else close because it's rural. Her room is small. They have two people in a room, so it's very tight. The place is well-kept."

"My dad is in Kane Regional Facility Scott Township. He is in the dementia ward, so it's a locked-down ward, but they also have other people who are there who are not in that situation. He was also there before for some rehab. I like it very much. I met this family, and their mom had just left Kane because she had passed away. She was there for like three years and they absolutely loved them and recommended it fully. It was a fantastic location in Scott Township. I love it there. The nursing staff is so great. They know my dad. They know us by name. Everybody knows everybody. They call me if there are any issues. They take him out on trips, even though he's in the dementia ward. They take them out all the time. He went to the aviary the other day and plays bingo, and he's thriving there. He's been there now for a couple of months, and he's only doing better and better since he's been there. The staff is great. They know everything about my dad, and they accommodate him. I'm not there when he's eating meals, but I don't have any problems with anything that he's eating. Everything seems good. They're regimented with the time that they do it, and they have a lot of people that they are serving at one time. You can't sit with them in the dining room, but I could take him to his room or into a conference room. The facility is not the most beautiful, but the service overcomes that. The staff is so great. They have a courtyard where you can take him outside. We take him out of the facility all the time, which we can do, and have no issues at all with that. They have games during the week. They have a calendar of all the different things that are happening and when they're happening. It's posted in every resident's room so they know what's going on, and we know what is going on, more importantly. They're interacting with my dad, and my dad's going out of the community. The other thing they do at Kane is if your finances don't meet what they need, they work through Social Security to help obtain the rest of the money for you. You have to provide the paperwork and everything, but they're helping us do all of that."

"The rooms are adequate. The staff is exceptional, they are diverse is age, talents and gender. They are a great group of people. You will hear singing and humming as they deliver trays to those who are not able to go to the spacious dinning areas. They are willing to take the time while passing out the meals to talk with the patients. There are many TV areas and a lovely outside area for the patients who are able to go to these areas. The therapy staff is willing to come back if the patient is sleeping or has company. The parking is easily accessible. The staff respect each other and are kind and nice to the patients and the families. I like the laundry room, it made me feel productive and more like I was at home. I often just missed the doctors but was able to discuss the visit with the Nurse on staff. I was very pleased with my father's care while he was at Kane."
