Elmcroft of State College is wonderful, very nice, no complaints, and we could have gone with it, but they did not have respite, and they only had a small room available at that time. They had nice size rooms, almost like 1-bedroom apartments, the memory care unit was attached, so for a couple, if one was in memory care and the other wasn't, they can see each other. The staff was very nice, and everything was good, my step brother ate there, and he thought it was good. They had a lot of activities, they had buses you can sign up for, and they developed relationships between their community and school, and the veterans association, they got kids come in and sing, and vets coming in to do memory boxes. It was really a cool place.

We visited Elmcroft of State College, and I thought it was depressing because they have all the people in one room. They invited us for dinner, but we did not eat there. The staff was very nice, and the rooms were nice.

Elmcroft of State College has piano, instruments, drums, guitars, big TVs all over the place, a fireplace, and lots of places to sit. They all seem to get along. They said they have a lot of people in there with mild Alzheimer's, and they have locked down areas. Accommodations are two residents to a room and one person to a room. It was a decent place. The staff was very polite and called me a couple of times to see how everything was going. It was nice and big inside.

Elmcroft of State College was very good and we had a very nice tour. The people were friendly, open, and willing to answer our questions. We were shown a deluxe studio. They were small rooms. The facility has been there a while, so maybe they need new carpeting. We really like the diversity in their staff and they have a very nice and well-appointed dining room. They have several options for meals. They showed us the calendar for a broad range of activities. They help with medications, bathing, and getting dressed. They have transportation for doctors' appointments as well.

Elmcroft is nice and not as quite as expensive as other facilities. It's absolutely clean, it's homey, but it's like fancy-homey. They have a lot of activities for residents to do. There weren't that many residents in the great room.

I really liked Elmcroft of State College, but they were not strictly for dementia patients. It was beautiful, very clean, and very hospitable. The rooms were very nice, and the location wasn’t that far away.

Elmcroft of State College was clean and well maintained. The staff was friendly, professional, and courteous. The dining room was very nice with white tablecloths. It looked very homey. There were fireplaces in the community room and very nice furniture. It was a very impressive facility that was a little cheaper than where my mom was, but it was private and did not take Medicaid.

I liked it Elmcroft of State College. It was laid out pretty good. It also had a dementia unit, and it was a pretty safe place. They had a really nice outside place. It had big fence around it. I liked that it had an area outside for the people. It had a really nice homelike feeling about it. It had a mailbox outside. They were very personal. The rooms were laid out nicely. They had everything laid out in different ways. The patients that needed most help had their own area. There were people there working with the residents. There was a girl that was there for the entertainment part of it. I thought they were playing ball, and they had a special room for that. It was a place that I would not mind having my parents.

My mom has been in Greenhills Village for 10 months now, and so far, I like it. Their staffing is above the state requirement, which is good. My mom is on a pureed diet, so I really cannot attest to the quality of the food.

My aunt is at Greenhills Village. It wasn’t our first choice; it was more economical, and they had an opening at that time. That’s where we put her because the other places where we want didn’t have an opening. Also we wanted her to be closer to my parents, and this is just maybe 3 miles from my parents’ house. My aunt is in a private room, and her room is nice. The dining area is OK. However, I would give this facility a 2 because I think it looked a little dingy. The carpet is a little worn. It wasn’t as expensive as the other places, but I think they could have done a little better.

The main thing that we like about Elmcroft is that it is only half a mile from where he used to live in the house that we grew up in, and it is very close to family and neighbors. They are very clean, the staff is very nice, they are very patient with my father, and the facility itself is very attractive.

Everything at Elmcroft was fine, and when the time comes, that's the one I would choose. The rooms were a nice size and were quite roomy. They had a chart on the wall for what they had as their activities. What stood out to me was the quality of care and how concerned they were about each one of the patients.

My sister-in-law was at Elmcroft. It was wonderful. The atmosphere was very homey, not institutionalized at all. She had her own private room. There were a lot of activities for the residents. She was able to paint and sketch. She really liked it there.

When I think of this facility, I think bright. this place is located just outside of state college, in a wide open area.It is a beautiful white complex, with a kind of rustic look. The lady we were there to visit enjoyed it very much. she was not a permanent resident there, but was only there while here family was on vacation for a few months.which I thought was odd.The atmosphere at this place is not like an other I have been to. It seems to pride itself on having a "non institutionalized" environment.Which was obvious the living areas looked as though they were right out of someones house and the staff blended in with the residents. Everyone was very nice and willing to help with whatever they could. The lady we visited had been to a few different homes in the area over the years and said she like this one the most. The buildings were very clean and the activity board was very full. This community was all on one floor which is something I am not used to seeing, no stairs or elevators. the place overall was very nice and like I said in the beginning it was very bright.i would definitely rate this one as one of the best I have been to in my life.
Memory Care Reviews for Elmcroft of State College

My mother is at Elmcroft of State College memory care. The care is very good, the staff is very accommodating, very laid back, and easy going. There's always something going on and she seems very well taken care of. She's very clean, they have her hair done, and her room and bathroom are clean. They're covering all the bases. They take them outside, they do things in their bigger room like ring toss games, plastic flower arrangement, they play with balloons, and they've gone out on the bus for ice cream. People come in and out of her room all the time when I visit and I have found her in other people's rooms. The staff has been very helpful, and the girl that does the activities is excellent. The building is beautiful on the outside, her bathroom is gorgeous, and before she moved in, they changed all the carpeting and they had new flooring put in the bathroom. It's like a walk-in type shower and they help her get showered, and it's big enough that she can take her walker in and turn around and not be banging into things. She is safe, and she cannot get out or the alarm will go off. The facility is very elegant as soon as you walk in.
