Celebration Villa of Altoona

Poor experience overall just worried about money. Fesces on the floor and on the chair for a week. Some of the staff very nice some think you owe them. Mom was standing next to the fireplace nurse standing along side her left her fall 7 staples in her head. Meals she was on thick water she was too drink so many oz. Of water per hour every 8 weeks had to go to the hospital for dehydration infection in her body. Activity would let her set in her room so they didn't have to deal with her. Isn't worth the money for what you get. Wish I would never moved her there. There rehab just wanted the money 3 days at the VA the rehab addresses the problem and fixed it.

We could not be happier and more pleased with Celebration. The entire staff has been wonderful with my mother-in-law. Very kind, understanding. Love the... Staff Food Activities The care provided Very clean Beautiful apartment and view Small trips out of the home...ice cream, food, shopping Excellent care We know she is happy and enjoying the company of the other residents. I can't say enough about Celebration Villa. They made her adjustment to assisted living a wonderful experience. Any questions we have they immediately give us the answers.

I'm very happy. Mom is very happy and getting the care she needs. Food is good - they make her food she likes. Room kept clean. Nursing very friendly. For the cost I think it is worth it.

I would say that this is one of the best places to go for your loved one. It is the cleanest and friendliest place that I found for my loved one. I looked at a lot of facilities and none of them compared to the feeling I got seen someone playing the piano and everyone around and interacting with the residents

We chose Elmcroft of Altoona because we did a lot of research and it came down to what we were getting for the amount of money that we would be paying. It is a very nice facility, a lot of our relatives who went to visit her, that was their first comment about how nice it was compared to other places that they have been at. I would definitely recommend to others looking.

So far everything has been good and my mom has been happy here. Everyone has been very friendly and accommodating. It is a smaller community with less people so they have more time and seem to care more. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.

I have nothing but high praises for this community. It has been hard to see my loved one due to COVID restrictions. Due to my loved one's medical issues, it is hard to communicate with my loved one. The staff is very polite, respectful, and knowledgeable. I don't think they have had any outbreaks of COVID. They treat the residents well. The community is very clean. The community will do virtual visits with their family.

My Mom seems to be doing very well here. She had a hard time at first, but they were very patient with her and worked with her to make sure she’s settled and content. I’ve had lunch there a couple of times and the food is very good and nutritional. The facility is kept up with very well cleanliness wise and housekeeping comes by her room once a week to vacuum and clean the bathroom. They have a lot of activities going on during the day like bingo, games, outings, and sometimes they’ll have speakers come by to talk with the residents. They even plan parties for the holidays! I definitely recommend this place.

They have given us thirty day notice that my mother has to leave. They told us they would be able to take her but now they are saying she needs to leave because her care needs exceed what they can offer.We were honest about how she is before she moved in and they accepted taking her as a resident. My step father was sent to the hospital and she was upset, the staff told us that the family needed to stay with her 24/7, which is why we moved into a community because everyone works. She doesn't eat very much and they aren't doing anything to help with that. My sister came in to visit and they had given her yogurt and it had been sitting there and it was no good. We change her sheets and quilt on her bed. We visited one day and her bathroom had not been cleaned after she went to the restroom and we had to clean it up. They keep increasing my mother's medication when her behavior changes and it worries me. They don't take her to any of the activities because they don't have enough staff. They are understaffed and the nurses make all the meals and do the housekeeping. This is worrisome because they are not able to focus their attention on the care of the residents.
