Old Forge Manor Personal Care Center

We chose Old Forge Manor for my in-law. The staff was friendly and nice. They gave us lunch, and the food was very good. We were shown several rooms that were clean and acceptable.

I volunteered at the Laurels for a year. I found the residents very well-looked after, happy, and healthy. The staff were very well-informed and patient with the residents, despite occasional repeated questions or seemingly 'irritating' behavior. The activities director was very good at gathering a multitude of residents to take part in games of bingo, Wii bowling, word games, et cetera, and also took a genuine interest in the emotional well-being of the residents. The volunteers, including myself, found the work there very rewarding, and were all well-trained in what to do in the event of incidents we found uncomfortable. Many of the residents and I became very close, and enjoyed each others' company greatly. Regular parties held for residents and their families keep familial bonds strong among the two, and also encourage the open environment of the Laurels. Residents are allowed to walk outside in a well-kept garden, and also on a very quiet suburban towns' roads. The Laurels is the peak of assisted living, in my experience.
