My wife is at Fellowship Community. It's very well-staffed, and it's very clean. Good parking. There's an easy entrance with an automated sign in, so you get a name badge when you go in. The staff seems to be long-term and low turnover. The residents have individual rocking chairs in the community room where they watch TV, and they do prayer and other activities. The rooms are large. It's very comfortable. It's a top-rated facility in the area.

My mother has moved into Fellowship Community. What we like best about this place is their very caring people. They're very helpful. The place is very, very clean. My mom thinks the food is very good, which is a big thing. Even on weekends, there are usually 2 or 3 programs during the day for them. There are walking trails on the campus, there's an outdoor courtyard that you can sit in, and there's a store that has a cafe where you can get treats and snacks and things during the day if you want. They have nice living room areas gathered around. I have eaten there and it is fine. You have to order your meals the day before. But when it comes to your actual meal time, they put in front of you the menu that you chose. And if you want to make changes, they'll allow you to make changes, which is nice because you might not feel like it the day after.

Mom did rehab at Fellowship Community. The care varied depending on what shift it was and who was working on that shift. The care was sometimes good and sometimes it was not. The common areas in the facility were very nice. The rooms themselves were quite cramped. There were two people per room and there wasn't any room for two wheelchairs and two walkers. Half the time, you had to leave things out in the hallway because the rooms were very cramped. The food seemed good to very good. Sometimes the residents would order their meals. Sometimes they got what they ordered, sometimes they got other things. Sometimes the kitchen would make mistakes and forget to put half of the stuff on their tray for any given meal, but sometimes it was very good. So again, it was inconsistent. Some of the staff had a 5 rating, and some of the staff had a 2. We did not have a great experience because mom caught COVID in there after she was in there for a few days and then developed a pretty severe bladder infection. I don't think that they did the best job of handling the COVID situation. When they knew they had COVID in there, I think that they were trying to ignore it. It was weird because one day everybody had masks, the next day they were wearing the N95 and the day after that, they weren't wearing any masks. It was very inconsistent. They published the number of COVID cases every day and every day it was going up, up, up. Then we had to make them test my mom (they didn't want to, we had to insist) and she tested positive.

We were very impressed with Fellowship Community. It's a nice campus and it was very well maintained. They have regular nurses 24/7 and they also have a skilled nursing facility on site, which was something we thought mother needed for her medical issues at that time. They have private rooms that are more readily available and I liked that they're allowed to have a mini fridge in them. The lady that gave the tour was very personable, very outgoing, and very informative. She showed us a menu and they said they would accommodate mom. If there was something on the menu that she didn't like, they would make something that she would like. So, it was more restaurant-style.

Horribe service, no communication. My friend sat in soiled diapers for hours, didn't get daily baths, no record of a bath in 4 days, smelled. call button goes off and no one comes. No one cares about clients, no compassion for loved ones. Horrible experience. Do not recommend this place to anyone, It is a beautiful place, but that is it. Do not be mislead on this place.

This facility has changed drastically over the past couple of years mainly due to a change in upper management. There is an overall disrepect for staff and family members. Family concerns are met with a dismissive, "irritated" response. Residents are lined up in the hallway, left for hours, often unattended due to staff shortage. Facility ratings seem to be based on experience from years ago when top rating was earned. If you take your loved one there, please be involved and visit often at different times.

My friend is currently at Fellowship Community in Whitehall, and it looks like it might be a permanent arrangement. I didn't make the decisions, her son did. She's very happy there. She's a very easy person to please. She just moved into that portion. She was in rehab until Saturday, I think, so she hasn't experienced any of the activities yet. She said the food was abundant and very good. I think now she's in a nursing home situation. She's unable to stand, and they have to use a hoist to take her from the bed. She was in rehab for the therapy before that. Her room during that was fine. It was a 2-person room. The place has a garden and a courtyard.

My mom is living in Fellowship Community. She is in assisted living. She has been there for two years now. It is excellent. We are really happy with it. It is just very expensive. Her room is very spacious, and she has a roommate. It's a really nice place. It's just that we were trying to find some places that were less expensive, but we decided to keep where she is; she likes it there. The dining area is excellent. They have exercises, and bingo. There's always something going. They have a lot of activities. It's really clean. We have nothing really bad to say about it. We're really happy with her being there, and she's happy there too. The staff is really good. It's pretty expensive there, but because of attention she gets and because she just really it likes there, I would give it a five.

My mother is staying in Fellowship Community, and it was good. I thought their rehab was excellent, and the personal-care side was OK. I don't think they have very good communication when they move people between rehab and personal care. I think the communication needs to be a little better. They are two separate entities. I think one side really doesn't know what the other side is doing sometimes. The staff is really nice, and everybody seems to be very helpful. She's made a lot of progress there, so that was the main reason why she was there and was happy there. It is quite expensive, and there are other places that would be more affordable. The only reason we didn't move her somewhere else was she wanted to stay with her physical therapist.

My mom moved into Fellowship Community. The staff is extremely helpful. They are very nice, and for us to place my mother there, they made it very simple. They were very accommodating, and the place is very clean. When my mom presses the call button, within five minutes someone's there to help her to the bathroom. I think it's a very good facility. They have a prayer group in the morning if you want to go to it or not, and in the afternoon, they play bingo. They do exercises almost every day. You go into a community area and they do exercises, while they are sitting. They have singalongs, they ask other people to start a song and then the other members there start singing with it, which I think is great. It was really good. Last week they actually had Farm Day, and they brought some farm animals like baby goats, baby chickens, and ducks, and they passed those around for the community to touch. And then they were singing songs representing a farm, you know, and things like that. They always have activities and it's very nice. In the dining area, they have four people to a table, the food is excellent, and they get to pick a menu. In the morning, they can pick cereal, eggs, or just fruit. For lunch they have an entree, they have a nice menu for that also. And supper time is usually when they have their meal or they can just order a sandwich, but most of the time there's always a meal. You have a piece of chicken with potatoes or a piece of beef with rice and then you always have your vegetables and you always have a little bit of a dessert. They can always choose coffee, tea, juice, milk, whatever they want for a beverage.

My mother moved into Fellowship Manor. We chose it because I heard good things about it. We heard their staff is very compassionate, and that they are sometimes willing to keep the resident safter the money runs out. It's very clean. I've had no issues with anyone there, everyone has been very helpful, very kind, my mother seems to be settling in well, and she likes the care she's receiving. She gets therapy a lot. I know they take her out and play some kinds of games, and she says she's always busy. She always has something to do. The dining area is very nice and I have no complaints. She loves the food there, but the room for two people is a little bit small. Other than that it's a nice room, and they have nice furniture. They have a nice view, and there's carpeting in that room.

My mother is in Fellowship Villa. She knows people there and I thought it might be good to stay there. They have therapy. They have breakfast, lunch, and supper. They have trips on a bus to a restaurant or shopping at different times. It's a scheduled thing. They have activities, exercising, movies, and different things throughout the day. It's very clean. They're a little more expensive than some of the other places. The staff member who gave us a tour of the different places was very good.

We really liked the person who took us around Fellowship Community. They treated us to lunch, and the food was good and cheap. They have a monthly rate, but they're cheap. The facility was clean, they had a five-star rating, and we liked the good-sized cottage accomodations. What they offer was very pleasing. The activities were good. They offer bus trips for a little extra cost. We liked it a lot.

My loved one is at Fellowship Terrace. She is happy, so I’m keeping her there, and it's convenient for me. The staff is good. The rooms are excellent, and the facility is spotless and extremely clean. Everything is great at Fellowship. I recommend this place, but it is very expensive.

Fellowship Manor was terrible. I have nothing good to say about them. The rooms were small. It was a terrible experience. My mom was there two months then I took her out. The staff did not care about the patients, so the patients were not cared for. The food was terrible. It was the worst food I have ever seen.

We chose to visit Fellowship Manor basically because we pass the facility all the time and other people recommended it to us. In the independent living area, they have apartments. They are way overpriced because you need to buy the property and then on top of that you need to pay for the maintenance fee per month and that is really high for month. They only provide 18 meals per month. The other thing that is good about this facility is that they will take you from independent to assisted living to skilled nursing.
