Priority Life Care

In my opinion, the best thing about the community is the individual caregivers. They are all wonderful, warm and kind. My husband is in late stage all timers and he can be difficult to deal with that times. They are always patient with him and happy to see him and manage to get him to do things that the rest of us can't. And the med tech are absolutely terrific. Custodial staff and the kitchen help also pitch in whenever necessary to help out with my husband. They are very kind to him and I always get the feeling that they like him very much in spite of the fact that he can be difficult at times as far as I'm concerned, he's in the best place. He can be considering his needs at the present time.

I would say a 5 on all but number 5. On meals and dining, the food is great, but because of staffing shortages it is not uncommon for dad to wait an hour after sitting before food arrives. Overall University Pines has been great. And the waiting has been an occasion for my dad to practice patience.

We’ve been involved with Celebration Villa for around two months now and we are pleased. Great staff, lots of activities to participate in, good food, good care and beautiful facility. Glad we chose them.

I would and have recommended them to other families. If I had a question or my dad needed something done, it was handled immediately. Advice to other families? Visit as often as possible. Be involved with the residents care. They had my dad ready for appointments and we picked him up and took him. When we returned, they came out and talked to him, hugged him and walked him back to his room. They have wonderful programs to keep the residents active and their minds busy. On [date removed] my dad passed away. He was a quick turn. Hospice came to the facility and the staff at Colonial was there checking in every hour. I was with my dad when he passed. I have no regrets with his care and the facility. They are amazing...I was no longer my father's care giver, I was his daughter again and we enjoyed many hours together.

[name removed] from A Place for Mom is a local senior living advisor in Montoursville. After giving him my information about my mother ( who had fallen the previous day), [name removed] from Celebration Village called me. She already knew the circumstances regarding my mother because [name removed] had filled her in. I didn’t have to go through telling the story all over again. [name removed] answered all of my questions. My aunt and uncle took my mom to see Celebration Villa, less than 1 mile from her house. They loved the place. There was a one bedroom suite available so Mom cut a check and moved in a few weeks later, 3 weeks after the initial fall. Mom is happy not to be living alone anymore and keeps herself busy. CV drives her to doctor appts, bridge club, and book club. She doesn’t have to worry about anything. All is taken care of by the wonderful staff there. [name removed] and [name removed] know how to answer all the questions and make the big move from home seamless.

I do admire and appreciate a display of paramount importance of qualified skills for maintenance/staff here. This has made me very appreciative of such a wonderful teamwork.

This is my first experience with an ALF but it seems good. Staff is responsive to questions and the place is well maintained. I think like most places these days there is staff turnover and vacancies but not much you can do about that.

It is a wonderful place to have your loved one placed, the staff is attentive and friendly. I would just recommend they bring their love ones meals a couple times a week to change it up for them. My father's mother was in the same place years ago and they took great care of her. I liked how clean it was. Mostly I was impressed by the nursing staff who were quick to notify me of any medical issues and very patient and willing to discuss any questions or concerns I had.

It is the Best Place he could be Living at! We talk everyday of his wonderful experiences there, the Staff, Absolutely Great Food and Surroundings. Everyone seems to know him and he Enjoys helping out whenever he can - the Staff and the other Residents.. SO Very Thankful he is there! Couldn't be a more Perfect Place for him! The Staff is Very Caring. The Place is kept up Beautifully and I believe the Fee is Very Good for All they Offer.

The setting is beautiful. My dad loves the horse farm that is adjacent to the community. The staff has been very helpful and friendly too. The community just gives off a warm and comfy feeling when you walk in the door. My dad is very happy there and that is all we can ask for!

Magnolias felt like we were walking into my mom's HOME again! The atmosphere here is cozy, decorative, busy with activities and filled with caring staff that will treat your family member with compassion, dignity, love and patience. More events are being planned now which give residents the opportunity to host their family members for special occasion meals and activities. My mom began to thrive one month after her move into Magnolia's. She spent 8 months there and received hospice care at the end of her life which was tailored to her daily changing needs. The community here at Magnolias wants the best for their residents. Families and children are welcome anytime. There is no denying how difficult these decisions are for caregivers. Take a tour. Ask questions. See it for yourself.

Very helpful moving resident in and keeping family informed. Staff is courteous and willing to help with resident needs. I would highly recommend this facility be entrusted with the care of a loved one who can no longer live by themselves.

I called a Place for Mom on Sunday. We did a virtual tour of three places. What made the Villa stand out was three meals a day, transportation to medical appointments and personal needs, activities daily, and medication admitted. We decided by Thursday because my sister was in rehab and had to leave by Saturday. They were going to put her a furnished unit but then. Said that residents offered items they were replacing. She moved into her studio apartment with a queen size bed, recliner, Tv and stand and a small table and two chairs. Way to do it, Villa.

This facility is close to home, so I can visit more often with my aunt. It's very clean. The staff is professional. They are planning on purchasing a van to take their clients to doctors appointments. Even though they are cheaper than most, I still wish they were cheaper.

My loved one is currently a resident at The Crossings at Riverview and the experience has been mostly great so far. However, there is a lot of the residents sitting around and watching TV. It also seems like the facility may be understaffed.

My mother was familiar with this facility which is why she initially chose them. It has been a positive experience and she is happy with the experience.

Overall was a great choice for care of my Aunt, even for the brief stay that it was. Nursing staff was very attentive, caring and understanding. Facility is very clean and well run on the administrative side. Whole experience was very good, from initial contact, intake and end of care.

Colonial Courtyard is amazing and I would recommend to anyone looking for a place for your loved one if you can no longer care for them. My mother was very hesitant on moving in at first a few months ago but ever since she has been having a lot of fun with everyone there. The activities and food are tailored to her perfectly. She had not had a single complaint of anything. The staff is great at keeping us family informed on changes and even what activities she attends. I like that I am able to see photos from every event, game or party on their Facebook page. I recently visited for a game of swatter ball where it was kind of like a game of volleyball but with hand swatters- it was so much fun and I heard the laughter filling the hallways even to the front door. I’m so happy that my mother is out and about having fun and making friends instead of sitting in her home worried about how to take care of herself. The nursing staff if very knowledgeable as well, they always have a explanation

Everything about here is inviting! You are welcomed as if you are family. It’s a beautiful, well decorated “home”, very clean and the food smells amazing! I love spending time visiting amongst all the residents and joining them for their events- they are always great fun!

My loved one was briefly a resident at Celebration Villa of South HIlls for a Respite stay and the experience was great. The cleanliness and friendliness were great. The staff, care services and meals were also great. I would recommend this facility to others.
