"My father is in Juniper Village at Meadville. It is above satisfactory, and excellent service. They have social events and good food. They have a menu and the choices are plentiful. If they don't like the specials, they can choose something else. The selection is good."

"I went to The Lakes at Jefferson. It's a very nice facility. They acknowledged that I was there and everything, and so I would say they were good. The room size was good, too. It was a very clean place."

"My dad will be moving into Wesbury United Methodist Retirement Community. We spoke with a young lady named Jennifer. She's the admittance director and the tour she gave was very nice. We chose this place, because as my dad's condition worsens he won't have to leave the facility. He'll just be moved to a different wing and he liked that idea. They had very nice rooms. They had shared rooms and private rooms. They had community rooms with TVs where people could go and have family get-togethers or birthday parties for residents. They had games, puzzles, and different activities. They had a beautiful garden outside that residents could work in, a flower garden or in a vegetable garden that was raised, so they didn't have to bend over. They had trips for the ones who wanted to go. They had a barbershop/salon, a little gift shop, and a chapel. They had very attentive nurses, aides, and volunteers. They had frequent visitors by clergy and other denominations. Their whole facility was pretty much on level ground, so residents could go outside and walk around. They could leave and go on vacations with their families if they wanted to. Everyone there was extremely friendly. Their food was really good. They made everything fresh right there."

"My sister moved to St. Paul's Senior Living Community. The staff is excellent. They are very attentive and the ratio of staff to patients is very good. The memory care facility has only ten patients in it right now, and they typically have between three or four nurses on staff. They have an excellent kitchen right on the floor just down the hall from the patient room. The food is very good. The kitchen staff is very attentive. They help patients get the food and help service them if they want. If they are not able to go to the dining area, they'll bring the food to the room. They encourage all the patients to go to join them for the activities. They don't force them to go but they strongly encourage them to go out and be with other people. They play games and puzzles. The facility is extremely clean and very well-kept. The grounds are very large and have lots of greenery."

"My mother is in Country Acres Personal Care Home. It looks good to me, the layout is very convenient, and it's all on one floor. It's a small facility, so there aren't tons and tons of older people, but I think it's fine. The staff has been good so far to my mother, and they're informative by calling me and my brother. I think the only thing she's really done is play bingo because they've been quarantined to their rooms for different times. They have a living room with a TV where they go out to sometimes, but there have not been a lot of activities. The dining area is nice, very open and airy. She doesn't like anybody's food, so I don't think that matters."

"I saw The Caring Place for my mother. The only issue was I thought we were pretty clear that we were looking for the nursing home part of it, but they gave us a tour of the assisted living. There was nobody available for the nursing home part of it, but we got the information. They gave us a tour of the place, and we saw some of the shared facilities. The place was very clean. It looked very well-staffed and well-organized. We were just pleased with everything we saw. If the need arose, it would definitely be one of the places we would be comfortable having my mom be a resident there. The staff was very knowledgeable and very friendly. She was very upfront with the fact that she couldn't give us the information about what we actually needed. She put us in contact with the person who could help us. She gave us all the contact information. The rooms they showed us were all single rooms, which were their short-term stays. Their long-term stay rooms were doubles. They were very clean and did not smell like a nursing home, which was wonderful."

"Southwoods Assisted Living had comfortable and warm apartments. The residents put up personal decorations, so they looked very home-like. I saw some residents playing cards while some were talking. The staff was very responsive to the residents, and the administrator was very competent. I saw the dining room and it was very attractive. They also had physical therapy in the building. The place was in a nice location where it was easy to get out and walk. The structure was very easy for people to walk around. It was one of the best we saw in the area."

"Well as I stated above I was not in the facility but my Uncle George was. This was the first time I have ever had any experience with this type of facility and I was about 25 years old at the time. Never having any familiarity with a nursing home I did not know what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised! I found the facility extremely clean and it didn't have that "institutional" smell so associated with medical places! I found that the staff, tho somewhat appearing to be overworked, were very kind to the patients under their care and quite happy to answer the mundane questions that the visitors or relatives of the patients. The food did not smell bad to me and I was informed by several patients that it was quite tasty, I am assuming that it did have nutritional value as I had no way of disproving or proving this statement. All in all I believe that Golden Living Center is a nice, well cared for, competent place to put your loved ones in the event that they need this type of institutional care. "

"We took a tour of Oakwood Heights - Oil City Presbyterian SeniorCare. They greeted us promptly and took us out in the courtyards. It's multi-level. It was very clean and looked very well-kept. We were very pleased with that. It was probably where my mom would choose to go, if there was availability at the time. The facility was very clean and very well-staffed. They showed us how they accommodate food needs because my mom is diabetic. They went through how the day before an individual person comes through, sits down, and goes through meal choices. If what is offered isn't something that they like, they accommodate and make whatever is within the limits that the resident would want. We're pleased about that. It's also built into a hillside. Even though it's about four stories high, you can walk out at ground level on each floor. We were on the fourth floor, and there was an outside ground-level courtyard. It's very bright and very well-maintained. There are places with seating, and they can do flower gardening. They plan all kinds of things to get the residents involved. We saw the activity director doing all kinds of activities with them, including bingo. They've also done COVID precautions, like playing bingo from their rooms and having cards with prizes going up and down the halls. It's very well-organized and very upbeat. It wasn't like they were putting on a show for us. This place was probably our first choice."

"On May 26, 2023 my Daughter who is a CRNA, Health Professional and myself a retired State Drug Enforcement Agent met with Megan J, an Addmissions Coordinator at Manchester Commons. We were inquiring about memory care for my wife. We first noticed the clean and fresh atmosphere of the facility. Megan was thorough in her presentation to us, very personal and pleasant. We were shown the resident rooms, activity and dining areas. We were very impressed with everyone and everything at the facility. Our work background told us this was an excellant facility to care for our wife/ mother. I can not express enough how pleasant our feelings were upon reviewing everything at this facility. Thank You"

In Meadville, seniors in assisted living pay a monthly median rate of $4,738 for care.
Unfortunately, Pennsylvania is one of several states that do not offer any public financial assistance or waivers to help pay for care in an assisted living facility. Current waivers offer financial assistance for nursing home care or in-home assistance. Even so, seniors who get SSI benefits can still apply for state assistance to pay for a monthly supplement to defray the costs of an assisted living facility.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Pennsylvania page.
While many families use their own funds or personal assets to pay for assisted living, there are plenty of additional options to cover these costs. Some additional ways to finance assisted living costs include:
