My mom moved into Brookdale; it was a perfect move for her. It's a small community, which I really liked. The staff is very attentive and very kind, and they do a lot of different tasks. I'm really impressed with the meal program, they have their own chef and cuisine. However, they're under renovations, which is a bit unsettling for the residents, but it's an improvement.

I had a very good impression of Brookdale. The director there was extraordinarily helpful, patient, and informative. It was part of our consideration. I would recommend Brookdale. I saw the rooms, the housing, the dining area, recreational area, and the common area. I got a good feeling about it. The rooms all had a nice view of the outside and a separate bathroom facility. The rooms looked comfortable and some of them had a small balcony.

My dad was in Brookdale Harrisburg for almost 2 years. Their location, the cleanliness of the place, their staff -- I was very happy with them there.

The Brookdale Harrisburg was beautiful, but since my dad needs a lot of physical care, they didn’t think they were the right place for him. Nevertheless, they did have two connecting rooms, which would have been perfect for my parents, and a secure courtyard, which would have been great for my mom. The staff was wonderful.

The location of Brookdale Harrisburg (formerly Emeritus at Harrisburg) is perfect, and the staff is very friendly. It's small; there are only 22 residents in the memory-care unit. There is a lot of one-on-one with the residents and the staff. The staff turnover is not very high. They have a lot of employees that have five-plus years of service with the facility. The rooms are very clean, very neat, very comfortable, and good-sized, with appropriate bathrooms with safety features. My stepdad is happy with the food. He's in good shape, so they take him down for physical therapy, which he really enjoys. They cater to what each person needs or what their interests are.

I liked the convenience of Emeritus at Harrisburg, and I heard good things about it. It is clean, and it seemed to have the things that a senior would need. The staff seemed nice. I saw one apartment, and it looked very nice. The security looked fine.

My mother was in Emeritus for two months. They loved mom and they did their best. They were very caring, but they were understaffed. They were also private pay and a bit expensive.

Emeritus was very nice and closer to my house. It was a newer building than the one that my dad was in. The place was clean. I would have put him there. However, I couldn't afford it because it was $400 or $500 more on the rent.

We visited Emeritus at Harrisburg. It was small and nice facility. The staff is wonderful. The rooms were nice but small. They had a lot of activities and everything else there seemed fine. The only downside that I saw was the size of the rooms.

I liked Emeritus at Harrisburg. However, they do not have a room at that time when we went there. Everything was convenient to get to like the dining room. It was beautiful facility.

Loyalton of Harrisburg was atrocious. My dad was a hospice patient and they had him on narcotics. The order was to medicate every four hours. However, the technicians should only give it to the patient when they were awake. The technicians came and kept on giving him the medication even when he was sleeping. He was not comfortable there. When I visited him in the afternoon, he will be lying on the same position when I left him in the morning. He was soaked and sweaty and nobody did a thing about it and the food wasn't any good.

After our Mother fell at home and was placed in a rehab. facility, we needed to find a place where she could enjoy life, but still be taken care of. A friend of mine recommended Emeritus and I couldn't have been more pleased. Mom, just like anyone who has to give up their freedom, didn't like being there at first. However the wonderful staff very quickly made her feel at home. She started participating in activities she had never done at home like bingo, outings for breakfast or lunch, and special entertainment provided, just to name a few. Their love for her and the family showed. The staff was always available to assist the family in understanding her welfare and her journey with Alzheimers.

I researched several facilities before placing my father here. No place is perfect. But, Emeritus Harrisburg has been pretty accommodating. At first my Dad didn't want to be here. He really needed the memory care. But, After 3 weeks he is now finally coming around. My Mom is also in the process of moving in. She came down. She liked it so much she also decided to give it a try!

In a very stressful time, I visited here and immediately knew it would be the right place for my mother. Patty was wonderful. She was informative,
empahetic, and very patient. Dottie was also so helpful and generous with her time when other family members came to see the residence. Mother will move in tomorrow. Again, every detail was taken care of almost immediately. Each time I have gone in this week, I have been greeted by a smiling staff member. The stress level during this time was reduced thanks to the great people and atmosphere at Harrisburg.
