We looked at other options before coming to visit Celebration Villas. We were initially concerned about the care level in an assisted living facility vs a skilled nursing facility. After our experience with the various staff members in the nearly 2 months my MIL has been here, those concerns were completely unfounded. Their various care level options allow residents to remain here as their care needs increase. Regardless of the care level you're paying for though, their staff is well trained and extremely compassionate! They take the time to get to know the residents and treat them with respect and dignity. Their management staff is communicative and we've never been left wondering about any of the questions we've raised. All of their resident assistants work together well and pair up as necessary to insure transfers are done safely. Several of their staff have been here 20+ years. That only happens when people are happy with their jobs and proud of what they do. As we make this journey together with our Mom, it's very reassuring that we have a care partner that we can rely on. We've never questioned our decisions a single time! Don't hesitate if you're looking for the best care alternative for a loved on in Central PA area!

When my family and I were looking into assisted living communities for our sister, we were…read moreoverwhelmed by the choices and associated costs and amenities available. But when we toured Paramount Senior Living and met with Starla Press, Director of Admissions and Marketing, we were immediately impressed. Starla spent an enormous amount of time patiently answering our questions and asked many, many questions about our sister and her specific needs. Then she went to the hospital the very next day to meet with our sister and talk with her directly. It was so very clear that Starla was interested in making this work for us and our sister - more than any other community that we met with!! So what makes Paramount Assisted Living so special and superior over other similar communities? It's the people. From Starla - to Olivia Perry, LPN, Resident Care Manager - to Shiryl Stanley in accounting... everyone who works there puts the patient and their family first. When I call to ask a question or discuss my sister's care, they go above and beyond to help. They also know who I am and more importantly, who my sister is and how she is doing. This is a beautiful community and my sister raves about the food!!! She looks forward to all of her meals in the dining room and rates then 5-star. My sister went from a picky, non-eater to actually starting to gain a pound! Thank you, Paramount Senior Living, for taking such good care of my sister and caring about your patients and lovely community.

This is an outrage. The executive director at this memory care facility thinks that communication…read morewith family for a person who is not capable of speaking for themselves, is to email the family instead of in person. She states that it is impossible for the facility to coordinate doctors visits with family members, so that the family is able to know what is being said and done with the resident. And the LPN who is managing Heritage Hall lied to her CEO about what she told me, which was the exact opposite of what the CEO said. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS as that is exactly what it is, there is nothing about real "care" from them. They are in it for the money. They use prescription drugs prescribed by a CRNP (not the attending psychiatrist) to medicate the residents into stupors, (read zombies) where they sleep through the insipid activities. Important paperwork needed by the family is either lost or not shared. A document which must be filled out by the psychiatrist has been sitting in my sister's folder for at least a month, and must be returned to a government agency in 2 weeks, yet the attending person at the nurse's desk had no idea what the "paperwork" was. I am in the process of going through the state's ombudsman program to make sure that my sister is not further harmed by their lack of caring.

The entire staff at Paramount were pleasant and helpful and you can tell that they all enjoy their work and that they truly care about the patients. The nursing staff were excellent! While I hated for my husband to have to be there, the obvious dedication and compassion of the staff made me feel comfortable leaving him in their capable hands. My husband received speech therapy, and, in the short time that he was there, we noticed definite improvements in his speech and comprehension. Occupational therapy and physical therapy also were great--both in the services provided and the advice as to how to adapt his environment and his activities. The facility is very clean, the rooms are spacious, and the dining and lounge areas were comfortable and inviting. My husband enjoyed a variety of foods and was provided with alternatives if he did not want what was on the standard menu. I'm hoping he won't expect that same variety and flexibility now that he's home. If you are in need of a rehabilitation facility, I highly recommend Paramount South Hills.

My father liked to wander and though he couldn't walk he would crawl out of his bed and would get to the hall. At night there was nobody there so we have no idea how long it took for them to notice. At that point the compassionate people at Harmony gave him a 30 day notice to leave, though we had already arranged another room so he could go back to living with my mother who could keep an eye on him. When the going gets tough, Harmony throws you out. My father died one week later at another facility, without my mother, very heartbreaking for her. Two years later, my mother fell and broke her arm and had some issues in the hospital, Harmony refused to take her back, though she was up and around within a couple of weeks. Harmony it appears to be looking for residents in good health to charge their expensive rates, but when you can no longer completely care for yourself, it is time to hit the road and they mean now! The staff was very nice, but the management can only be looking at their bottom line as they were chronically understaffed and unable to assist in living. When they were needed the most, they will not be there to help.
