Very happy overall. Staff is very attentive and helpful. Easy to get info and updates from management. The facility is kept very clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. Everyone says "hello" and are willing to take time for conversations. From what I have seen, care quality is very good. Have had no complaints at all from my Mother The staff has hung pictures for her and reset TV remotes when she scrambles to programming. Good with checking on her if she is late for a meal, etc. Good variety of food at meals and will accommodate a special diet or request. They will even deliver to apt if she doesn't want to go to a particular meal. I have had a meal there (as a guest) and the food is good. Daily activities and trips that cam be signed up for as well as scheduled activities in the facility to keep busy with. My mother likes to attend mass services on Wednesdays. Value is good for the amount of attention and care that she receives.... Read more

Thank you so very much for the compassion and kindness you showed to my Mother and my family during such a difficult time. I have comfort knowing that my Mother was able to remain in what became her home through the end of her life. Everyone treated all of us with such respect, we are overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you a million times over!

My parents were residents of the 4th floor memory care. The genuine love you gave to our parents is a true testament to your vocation. Though our mother's stay was only 3 months, she enjoyed all of you! She had such peace knowing that her husband would be in the best hands. Our dad grew to embrace each of you and melt you with his smile! When brought back from appointments, he would say, "we're home." Thank you for creating that atmosphere that Keystone was "home" to our parents. It is a testament to you to allow a resident's daughter to work on her father's floor. [Name removed], thank you for the opportunity to work with you. It enabled me to see my father during Covid 19 restrictions. It allowed me to appreciate you even more, knowing what consumes your day. My time there, gave more to me than I could of have imagined. I hope it was as rewarding for the residents as it was for me. The care you give every resident gave me comfort knowing my parents were placed in the best community.

I like everything about living at Keystone Villa. The meals are great and staff and residents are so friendly. I also love being able to walk into town.

My mother improved immensely both physically and mentally at Keystone. She regained the ability to write letters, use the phone, read the newspaper, and basically take care of herself.

We were really impressed with the community, and the director as well. They showed us quite a lot on the tour, and explained everything well. The location was favorable to where we live. Our only issue came down to personal preference - we just found them too big, without the cozy/homey feel we were looking for.
The community was to large for my loved ones' needs and the community didn't feel as homie as others in the area.
Response from Keystone Villa at Ephrata
April 9, 2021I'm sorry that we weren't a good fit for your loved one, but thank you for coming to see our community. As you know, Keystone Villa at Ephrata has three levels of care - Independent, Personal Care and Memory Care - so it can seem large. We pride ourselves on creating an environment where everyone feels like home. I'm sorry you didn't have that experience.
Wonderful staff, very responsive, caring. Clean and comfortable facility. Taking good care of my family member.

They have nurses and doctors on staff. I would recommend to go visit this community and have your loved ones attend this community. The memory care activities included: crafts to a recycle center and the family could attend any event with them. The residents even got to go see snow geese, and the staff would go on ice cream runs with the residents. The food was good according to my loved ones. In fact my loved one was able to gain weight since joining the community. This community only had 22 people on the memory care unit. The family choose this community for this great attribute. The family will have a fob provided by the community to allow for visits at anytime, this was prior to COVID.

Not as clean as the other places. More institutionalized looking. Not a private place to for discussions. Done out at not so clean table in lobby. Very expensive for sharing an apartment with a stranger. Not a happy welcoming environment
