Celebration Villa of York

My brother has moved into Celebration Villa of York. I've been there several times to visit. So far, they've been very good. He had an episode where he needed to go to the hospital and they were quick to get him there and notified me promptly. They took care of making sure when he was released, that he was transferred back and made all the arrangements between the hospital and themselves. He's back in the community again and home health care is coming in and doing wound care and physical and occupational therapy. So, he's doing well right now. The rooms are clean and neat. It's a pleasant atmosphere. It's like being at home. They encourage them to hang pictures and make it their own room. They go down to meals every day. Unfortunately, right now, they have one resident who is confirmed positive for COVID, so they've been restricted. They've been taking meals in their room the last week. They're hoping that'll get lifted soon, but they are taking precautions, which is good and limiting visitation. Everyone's wearing masks. They've got a nice selection of food. My brother, unfortunately, is a very picky eater and because he's on thickened liquids, it makes it a challenge, but he's been doing much better there. He's eating better definitely. They have activities all day long, just about every day. They have ministers from about every faith come into the community and have services for their residents, which is good. He just does not participate in anything.

My brother is doing very well at Celebration Villa of York. I know he likes it. We liked it the first time we went to see it. The people are very caring. Everybody knows his name. It's very clean. It's a good place. The staff is excellent. They gave us a banana nut cake and that was good, but I have not eaten in the dining hall. My brother says the food is good. The floor plan is a little confusing, but the cleanliness is very good. They keep it very clean. They have lots of activities.

We toured Celebration Villa of York and it was great. As a matter of fact, out of the five that I toured, that's one of the ones that we're seriously looking placing Dad at. It's just a matter of, "Does he have the means to be able to be there?" The room's very accommodating and the bathrooms were very easily accessible, especially the shower area. It was well-maintained. It was a nice, quiet community, away from all the hubbub of traffic and that kind of thing. It was kind of in a country setting, not exactly, but Dad being a farm man all his life, that's what he likes. One of the things that was nice was that each resident's laundry is done separate as opposed to everything is gathered up and gets done. That was a nice feature, I thought. The laundry was included as part of the price, as well as cable TV. WiFi was also included, which is nice. The room cost was a little bit more, but at least I know exactly what it's going to cost. Overall, it was a good experience. The facilities were great, as well as the staff. It seemed like the residents were really friendly. The dining area was great.

Our experience having my mother here was just fine. She stayed in their assisted living. Due to COVID I wasn't allowed to go in. I did a virtual tour at first and I had to sit outside her window to visit.

I like it because it was clean, very friendly, and small. The rooms were clean and fresh. They all have windows with decent views. It is very nicely appointed, and she can also bring her own furniture if she chooses to. They have different activities going on everyday. They have a large dining room for the residents, but they also have a small dining room if you want to celebrate small parties. We were able to talk to the chef, and he was wonderful.

It was very clean, and it was tastefully decorated. The personnel was warm and interested in the residents. They had good food, and they had a fireplace in the lobby and many of their occupational therapy activities occurred in that lobby as well as other kinds of meetings, church services, or concerts that other businesses would hold for them. It was good care, and the staff was attentive to my mother-in-law's needs.

My mom is here. It offers the most care for my mother. We like it better than the other facilities we visited. It's close to my sister, who spends a lot of time with her. The staff is very helpful and everything we could ask for. My mom raves about the food. What impresses me are the cleanliness, open spaces, and the daily activities. The staff is very warm and welcoming. The facility has new furnishings; they're very classy.

I had a tour; however, I was not able to actually see any room. The place was fine. I liked its proximity to everything from shopping, to hospital, medical appointments, and families.
