Our Mom has been a resident here since last summer and we couldn't be more pleased. The ownership change has made a super difference in the overall operation of the facility and the new Activity Director Heather has really made things lively at the facility. If you are looking for a place that is smaller and offers more personal one on one care, this is the place.

I visited this facility
Palmyra Heritage House was nice but smaller and the rooms are smaller. The biggest drawback is the rooms are more like a room and not an apartment. No kitchen facilities in the room. The person who toured me around was very nice and accommodating. The dining area was small. They have a craft area.

Palmyra Heritage House was the perfect choice for our Mom! We were looking for a place that is locally run with a more personal touch. The staff is super nice and attentive. We didn't feel like just another family. The activity van is great as well. Mom got to go on a trip to Hershey World! We couldn't be more happy!

My uncle is a resident in Palmyra Heritage House. He lives in the Memory Care Unit. We couldn't be more pleased with his care. The facility recently put all new hardwood flooring in the unit and it made for a very safe and beautiful environment. Staff are very attentive and there is no odor!
