The staff are very good and know what they are talking about. They have a great sense of humor! The residents I live with are very nice and friendly. If anything is happening with you, the staff check on you. You are able to have assistance with personal care for a short time as needed too if you are independent. My husband was here as a personal care resident and they were good with my husband. This is great place to live!

I really like living here at the Manor. I think the staff is great! It’s my home away from home and I feel very comfortable living here. I love going on the bus trips for ice cream and lunch out it’s always so good to be able to get out.

Very helpful, they were the first to report to us and they were up to see my loved one within an hour for an assessment. They accepted her and she has been there since then. The staff are very friendly with the residents. My loved one is not ready to go home, but her memory is going and she is still happy.The staff have been great and the cost from what I researched is better than everywhere else.

This was one of the most emotional decisions of my adult life, but the staff at Manor At Market Square made it one I could make with grace and ease from the moment I made first contact. The facility was warm and inviting, clean, well maintained, and had a great community vibe, not the feel of a nursing home. The residents were interactive and very welcoming each time I visited, and there were many visits before a decision was made. My mom entered as a Personal Care resident due to a few health challenges, but my primary reason behind my decision to find the best community to fit her needs was for social interaction. Since my fathers passing in 2019, my mom was living by herself for the first time in her life. From her first day entering the community, she was engaged and encouraged to participate in activities and join the residents for meals in the dining room. THIS is what I wanted for her! The staff is spectacular, ALWAYS willing to provide assistance. So Grateful!

I really liked it here. The size of the rooms was larger than most I had seen or visited. I didn’t know if I wanted to put my loved one in the city, but I felt like it would have been a nice facility for him. This was my favorite of all the ones I visited in the area. We ended up keeping him in his home state instead of moving him here to Pennsylvania.
At the moment we are currently having a few issues with this community, our loved ones just recently passed away and we are having trouble getting refunding on things we had already paid for. However, we really liked how friendly the staff was, and their willingness to explain things and to show us around when we first visited. From our understanding the food was okay, and the rooms at this community are very nice and very well kept.

The entire process was so accommodating. The staff came to my house to evaluate mom which made the transition so much easier. Don’t let the location deter you! It is warm and inviting and the staff is top notch! I’m so happy my mom is getting such great, affordable care!

We had to quickly find a place for our mom when she had a serious fall and could no longer live alone. Manor at Market Square (MMS) was suggested and the call was made. The very next day two folks from MMS came to see our mom and us. They were patient with us as we struggled to make those difficult decisions. Once mom was there we worried how she would adapt to these new surroundings. Every staff member, from administrators to direct service staff, made every effort to meet our mom's every need. I can honestly say mom could not be cared for nor loved more in any other setting. We know she is safe and content. And that is the greatest blessing of all! Thank you MMS!

Great choice for my parents. It is very difficult when it comes time look for a place for a loved one that can no longer live in their home and own their own. After extensive research the Manor at Market Square made it to one on the top of the list to contact and visit to see if they may be what I was looking for for my senior parents. We were impressed at our first visit and was impressed with tour, [name removed] was awesome and answered all questions that we presented. However my parents were just not ready to commit to a move at that time. Over the following months [name removed] touched base occasionally with my parents and me to just check in, see if there were any questions and even just to invite them to a function at the manor. When my parents decided to make the move we visited again to go over details and get answers to other questions. Once again [name removed] was there and she provided information to assist with with the move. During the time frame leading up to the move [name removed] went above and beyond, not only did she truly care what was best for my parents she also care how I felt as she realizes it is a very difficult time for all involved. My parents have lived in the Manor for 3 months now, every one on staff that we have encounter are always pleasant and smiling. I am amazed on how well they settled in and how comfortable they feel in their apartment at the Manor that they started calling home. I would highly recommend the Manor at Market Square

My grandmother has been a resident at Manor Market Square for almost a year. I visited several places when considering a new home for my grandmother and there was no comparison, Manor Market Square was the right place for her. Every time I visit, I observe how clean everything is, how friendly the staff are, and all the wonderful activities that my grandmother participates that she enjoys. She is doing things she hasn’t done in years and has ample opportunity to get to know the other residents. I feel confident that I made the right decision to move her here . If given the choice again, I would choose Manor Market Square.
