Clarks Summit Senior Living

Clarks Summit was beautiful. They had every amenity that you could think of, including a library and movie theater. The price was good and there was a good ratio of staff, but it was too large for my mom, and she would totally get lost. Plus, they didn’t have a memory care unit. Otherwise, I would have chosen that because it's very close to my house.

My first impression was great a year ago, just revisited thankfully because now I'm not impressed. Looked like there is a lack of staff and for the most part the place looked like it's in disarray. Where are the courteous and friendly staff that took such good care of us in August 2016. Good Luck.

The facility is very nice. Beautifully decorated and gives you warm and at home feel. I recently had a tour and was very impressed. The sales manger was extremely knowledge and answered all my questions. She introduced me to residents and the staff which game me insight on how happy each were to live there. I hoping to convince my aunt to move in. I certainly would!

She has been there at Clarks Summit for six weeks, and it’s very nice. I never knew they had such nice facilities for people in need. They have individual bedrooms with 2-bedrooms to a unit that walk up a hallway, and there’s a shared kitchenette and bathroom and individual closet area. Each bedroom has a separate door locked from the inside. That room was about 10 x 12 with an attached closet, TV hook up -- which was provided -- carpeted hallway, library, movie theater, and other activities. There’s a physical therapy room and walking area outside with nice porch to sit in the afternoon. There is a sit down dining kind of like restaurant setting with two entrees on the menu and side menu.

Clarks Summit Senior Living is an excellent place; every aspect of it is excellent, especially the food. The facility is new and modern. My mom has been there for a couple of months now. There are plenty of staff members and a vast majority of them are very good and very well trained. It is just a nice place.

I recently had a tour for a family member. Their tour guide was amazing. She knew everyone's name and introduced me to some of the folks that live there. I got great feedback saying they are happy with all just that the food can improve. This place is very clean and beautifully decorated. What a great feeling walking in. No odors and very alive with music playing. I was very impressed and hope my family member goes there.

I placed my mother at Clarks Summit. It is assisted and independent living. It is a beautiful place and my experience with it was excellent. They have all kinds of activities. The staff is lovely. They have a beauty parlor, a beautiful dining room, and they have therapy by Caregivers of America.

My dad was at Clarks Summit Senior Living, and it was absolutely phenomenal. My sister and I say that’s where we’re going. It was absolutely beautiful. It was exceptionally clean. The staff was exceptionally helpful too. They had two separate dining rooms that you think you were in a restaurant, and you would not think you’re in a facility. They have an in-house movie theater, they have a bar and happy hour with doctor’s permission. It was just lovely. They have different levels of care too. They have little apartments. My dad had a roommate, but he had his own separate bedroom. They shared a kitchen and a bathroom. What I loved about the kitchen was that it was a full kitchen. They had full refrigerator, sink, cupboard, microwave, toaster, and kitchen table. It was perfect. It had everything but the stove, and safety-wise, I thought that was absolutely genius. They really didn’t need it because they had two dining rooms that serve them three meals a day. They always offered us, “Would you like to come in and eat with your Daddy and order off the menu for free?” So that was a wonderful place, but it was pricier than some other places. Some of the people there had cars. The facility was right across the street from a golf course, and it was very, very nice. I would definitely recommend Clarks Summit.

Clarks Summit was much bigger like a resort, but it was very busy and confusing. Plus, it has three floors. It was a very nice facility, but it wasn't the right one for my dad. It was too chaotic in there, and he didn't like having to go on an elevator to get to his room. They have about 120 residents, and that was too much for my dad. However, their dining room was beautiful. As a visitor, I would say it is a 5-star.

My mother has resided at this community for the past 2 years and I cannot say nothing incredible things. The reason we all decided this was the best move for her was not because she needed help, but because she needed to get out of the house. My father had passed 3 years ago, and she has been getting less and less involved. Since she moved in she has been non-stop. Casino trips, shopping, church, and she even joined the book club. I could not stand to read what the reviewed wrote below. The staff is cheerful and always has a smile. Thank you

This place is nothing but nonsense. Over priced and their activities are bingo called by them, a 1980s exercise video, and a singer once a month. Not to mention the childish staff always on their cell phones. Their food is all premade frozen garbage, employee morale is garbage as well resulting from these poor people being overworked and underpaid. If you want to spend 5 grand to have your loved one miserable go for it. I had a loved one here for awhile and we were told to get a 24 hour aid because as I quote"we don't have the time or staff to deal with all ____s needs." That's pretty low considering you accepted the admission and promised top of the line care. Not to mention the lazy house keeping staff who can clean and are always in the smoking area. Dirty carpets that are avoided during the tour, no towels, no tp. As a loved one I shouldn't have to ask for these things!!! Worst over priced facility ever!!!! Don't let there catchy talk drag you in.

Clarks Summit Senior Living was very good. They gave us a tour, and she told us a little bit about it. It was very clean, very well kept, and the staff was very friendly.

We were able to visit Clarks Summit Senior Living. I was able to know about this facility because I did some research, and I looked at the comments that people had, and everything seemed to be very positive and had the necessities that my godmother was looking for. They were extremely helpful and positive. They gave us a complete tour to every piece of facility that they had, and she did like it a lot.

Clarks Summit is a beautiful facility. Their dining area is beautiful as well. The place is immaculately clean. They have beautiful rocking chairs on their big porch. The staff is very nice. A friend of mine has an aunt living there and she seems to be very happy. I didn't see enough because I was just there for a meeting, but I think the place is just perfect.

CSSL is by far the best that senior living offers in NEPA. The hotel feel and look is amazingly odor free and provides a non institutional look. I was quite impessed with the amenties and apt styles. Upgraded not out dated like the area competitors. A must see if you need senior living.

My wifes aunt Madilyn was a resident of this community and unfortunately her needs were greater and had to be discharged. She was treated with dignity and respect by all who cared for her. The staff went above and beyond daily to insure her safety and needs. I am greatful for the care she recieved by this community and would reccomend to anyone.

Pathetic excuse for "Five Star Living." You get your tour, you see all of the surface stars, but the hidden stuff is what matters. It is overpriced in every single way. The "entertainment" that the residents receive that you hear about is Bingo every now and then (they got rid of the volunteer that was calling it), and a singer that comes in about once a month. That is it. They are bored, treated unfairly, and for the price you pay for this place, it is not worth it. Find somewhere else - or use the money you were about to spend and put your relative or loved one somewhere on the beach!

ClarksSummit Senior Living is "all for the residents" The residents are treated as if they are a family member. Alll of the staff from the kitchen, to the dining, to the cleaning personel, up to the nurses and aides all are friendly and supportive of all the residents. The house is spotless and the food delicious. As a private aide from an agency I can purchase a meal and eat with my client. So I know first hand the choices on the menue. They have daily Bingo and outside entertainment.Birthdays are especially treated with recognition. They even have a Happy hour. There is a room with a big screen t.v. were ther is always coffee,tea and hot chocolate available. A bowl of apples and oranges is on the counter all day. Residents have their own locked postal boxes. It is truly a place where I myself if need would like to live someday!
