Assisted Living Communities in Somerset, PA

"I went to Life's Promise. I met the owners, both of them, and they were wonderful. I saw part of it, and it was very clean. I talked to some of the residents that were outside, and I very much enjoyed it there, but it was a little bit more than we could afford. The residents said the food is better than average."

"My loved ones used to live in Laurel View Village. They lived in an apartment at the independent living level. That place was seriously excellent. They had a 2-bedroom apartment. They had two meals a day. They could go for breakfast, lunch, or supper, which was excellent. I've eaten there, and it was very good. I like that their personal care residents are getting the same food, as those in independent living. They had a lot of amenities. People could go places. They played shuffleboard. They had bands come in, and they had kids come in. They had a lot. They also took trips. They would go to a baseball game or something like that."

"My mother has resided at Ligonier Gardens over five years and has transitioned from self care to needing assistance in many areas. Ligonier Garden’s strength is its dedicated staff who exhibit kindness toward residents almost without exception. The facility is attractive and clean with frequent and varied activities scheduled on site and occasionally off site."

"I find the Church of the Brethen home to be a clean facility with limited staff. The staff at times is overwhelmed by the amount of total care patients. If you are a resident that is able to take care of your own personnel needs and you require limited assistance from the nursing staff, this would be an excellent facility to reside in. "

"I placed my wife in a place called Rest Assured Living Center. It's a small community, but it's very nice inside. And it's kind of a family type of atmosphere. The people there are very attentive to the residents and they're knowledgeable about what they need, so it's very good. Their menus are very nice. They're nutritious and they're kind of comfort food. The building is very nice. It's very good. When I was there, they were playing bingo, but they have an activities director who seemed to be very active. The residents do not just sit around and vegetate. My wife is in a very large room. There are two people in the room, but it's huge. The atmosphere is very friendly. The employees acknowledge all the residents. As they're walking past, they say hi and you can tell that they do that routinely because the residents reciprocate."

"I visited the Rosewood Manor assisted living facility as a member of my high school stage band, to play a show for the residents. The facilities were spacious, clean, and well taken care of. The residents had everything they needed to be comfortable, and they were very excited to see our show. The staff members were polite and courteous, and they were happy to plan something for their residents to bring a smile to their faces. Overall, the experience was great, and I'm glad I was able to perform and visit such a great place in our community. "

"My brother was in Westmont Woods (Presbyterian Home of Greater Johnstown) for therapy, but it was too expensive for him to go into assisted living. It's a beautiful, nice, and modern-looking building. They had so much staff, and the rooms were small and felt cramped. They treated him well, but I wasn't really happy with it. Communication was very poor, and the staff was just too busy. They had a lot of help, but none of them could spend too much time with him because they were filled to capacity with patients. "

"LaurelWood have a pretty simple little room, and the dining room was clean and spacious. The safety seems pretty good, but I think the price could be a little bit better. I don’t think it’s too far off with the average places. "

"The Lutheran Home at Johnstown is very nice, very clean, and the staff is very helpful. My dad has a one-bedroom unit with a bath and it's very decently spacious. My dad enjoys the food. The facility is very well kept. They have Bible studies, get-togethers like ice cream socials or a family picnic, crafts, and exercise in the morning. It's just what I would expect from them for that price."

"My aunt was a resident of the Goodwill Assisted Living home for a period of approximately fifteen months. I visited her twice weekly during her stay at Goodwill. She really enjoyed her time at this facility. My aunt expressed to me on numerous occasions that the employees were genuinely interested in speaking with the residents. It was evident to me during my visits, that this was true. Each and every employee greeted every person that they came into contact with. They offered assistance with travel arrangements for the group busses. They offered advice on how to settle disagreements. They always asked the residents how they were doing that day. Even if a resident took a long time answering a question, or became confused or forgetful, the employees never seemed to become irritated or aggravated with the resident. Their patience and attentiveness means so much to the residents, and it was very much appreciated by family members, like me. The facility is also very safe. The doors are locked after a certain time in the evening, and remain that way all through the night. This makes the residents feel quite secure in their dwelling. There are staff at Goodwill to assist the residents twenty four hours per day, and this also aides the residents to have great peace of mind. If anything should happen, staff are readily available. Residents always have the choice to eat cafeteria prepared meals, or they can prepare their own meals in small kitchens. Some residents have tiny kitchen units in their own apartment or dwelling. Also, some residents have access to kitchens that are used by many residents, and they can receive help from staff with cooking needs. The cafeteria food is quite good, and does not remind you of the typical food that you see served in some facilities such as this one. "

"We selected Eicher's Family Home for Mom. It's very clean and the residents are well taken care of, which you can tell by the way they look. They are dressed and they don't sit in wheelchairs, but in nice recliners. The food is great. The staff is very friendly. It's great. They have activities and the food is all homemade. I've seen some of the food and it looks wonderful. We're all pleased with it."

"It was gorgeous. We've had several relatives in other homes in the Johnstown area, and this by far is the nicest place that I've ever been in. They have super wide hallways, and everything is decorated beautifully. I think they have 42 rooms, so it's not that large. As we were going through the facility, we were with the admissions director. We stopped and talked to the staff, whether it was a laundry person or a hairdresser or whoever that was. He introduced us to every one of those, which impressed me, because it seemed like a family type place. He took us to a studio apartment that was fairly big. It's about 450 square feet, which is a good size, with a really nice kitchen, a really nice private bath, and a living area. McCullough Place is the only one I found that had any vacancies actually. Then they had the crafts, weekly church services, a sing along, and an entertainer that comes in and plays the accordion and piano. They have a very good variety of socialization. It's built in a circle around a courtyard with a gazebo and plenty of picnic tables. They have a dining room that beats most restaurants. They have tablecloths that are decorated real nice with centerpieces. They have free transportation to doctor's offices and they take care of dispensing their medications. They had anything that you asked for. I was very pleased."
