Sherwood Oaks

My doctor said she has heard some nice things about Sherwood Oaks. We dropped by, they gave us a tour, and I never looked at anything else. It was convenient for my children. They live in this area. It had everything I needed, and it has different levels if I would want to move on to the next level. The staff is very helpful. There are lots to do if I want to, and I am getting involved. They have a beautiful library, and I help in there. I go to a knitting class, and I joined an exercise class. The food is wonderful, and we have a menu to choose from everyday. I am in a patio home, so I have a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen. I have another room and I am using it for dining. The security is wonderful. They walk the property, and they drive around. It's a huge facility with beautiful gardens. At night after dinner, they have programs and movies, and kids come in and sing, I'm a little bit nervous being out at night here, and I don't like to be out at night alone anyway, so I don't participate in a lot of them.

Sherwood Oaks was very beautiful place. The facility is very, very nice, but too expensive for me. Everybody was very nice there and the staff are very helpful. They took time and made sure that I got every information that I could get. They were very responsive to questions.

We just moved my mother to the Sherwood Oaks and she's very happy. Even though it's the farthest away, it had the best reputation and things for her to do, so it's worth the extra travel. The staff was more than helpful. John, who was in the sales department, helped us through the whole process, so they were very, very good. My mom has an absolutely beautiful one-bedroom apartment. She didn't feel like she was alone there; she felt that she had people to be with. They have plenty of activities and a lot of welcoming committees that help people adjust to being by themselves.

I think the facility seems very nice. They have a "bar" area where they have lockers to store personal items. They can play cards in that room when they like. Everyday they have a dinner buffet, which I have eaten. It is quite good. All the staff have seemed very friendly. My grandma's apartment is very nice (does not seem like a nursing home except that she has emergency pull cords everywhere). The grounds are really pretty and everyone in the apartments have their own yards.

We were looking for continuing care and we toured the place because it's near where my son lives. It was very nice. We were not unhappy with it all! It was some kind of a high-end continuing care facility and rather expensive or, it's just that their paying plan is not acceptable to us. Well, the only problem is that the area is just so cold in the winter. We were looking for some place maybe a little warmer. But we liked the little individual condos that they have. Their dining area was fine and the food was nice. They have many activities there. I particularly like reading and their library. The people there were very nice and friendly. The staff that we met was very nice. We were happy with it and we seriously considered going there. The physical layout of the place is alright but it's just not for us. It's too cold there.

My husband and I helped my grandmother move into this facility over a year ago. She lived alone and we were worried about her, so she chose to move here. I was pleasantly surprised by the facility. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and they seemed to want to be involved in the residents lives and activities. My grandmother loves her living quarters, and likes that she has the freedom to do a lot of activies, but also has medical care and help with daily living if needed.The grounds have lots to do, so my grandmother is never complaining about being bored. There's swimming, jacuzzi, walking trails, fitness facilities, yoga classes, and more. She is more active here than she was at home! Overall we are very pleased with the facility. When I get older, I would probably look into this myself if I needed it.

My husband and I helped my ailing father move into this facility after taking a tour of several other facilities in the area. What prompted us to choose this facility was all the unique amenities it offered as well as how warm and friendly the staff were. At first, I was worried that he would be lonely or not have anything to do but, every time I visit him, he is always involved in some activity. He loves their Yoga and exercise classes and he spends a lot of time in their pool. The facility is always very clean and well maintained when I visit and the staff actually seems interested in interacting with their guests and residents. This is the type of facility I want to be in when I need assisted living.

The staffing for Sherwood Oaks in Cranberry, PA is outstanding. According to the Medicare Survey of this facility they exceed the state average of Registered Nursing coverage per patient hours in a day. The residents receive on average of 1 hour of licensed staff per day for their care. This includes a mix of Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses, and Certified Nursing Assistants. This is a smaller facility and they often are close to capacity with a total of 60 certified beds available. The location of Sherwood Oaks in the wonderful neighborhood of Cranberry is a great area. The development and continued growth of this area makes it an attractive residence for patients and families to live in. This is a continued care retirement community which does require a greater down payment prior to moving in to Sherwood Oaks. They do however provide the resident with the care that they will need and if the require additional assistance they can move into a more skilled area within the facility.
