Recent reviews of Independent Living in Dauphin County, PA
Holiday The Manor at Oakridge in Harrisburg, PA
4.0

Friendly staff however we think they need more than one matinance staff. Areas need paint. We really like the great variety of meal selections. Outside grounds seem well taken of. Need to make sure the inside is painted regularly

The Heritage of Green Hills in Shillington, PA
5.0

Our loved one has since passed but she had moved into The Heritage of Green Hills which is a new facility that looks like a 4-star hotel. There were lots of different events, nice and friendly staff and better help.

Juniper Village at Lebanon
5.0

Juniper Village is very clean, sometimes with communities and caring for elderly residents there may be unpleasant odor, but not that this community. The staff are very friendly, they usually talk to you as you walking around, call you by name and even talk about things your loved one is getting involved in. Our loved one is very happy and satisfied with the meals. Our loved one is diabetic, and at their previous community all they served was pasta and potatoes, but here they are serving fresh vegetables and fruit every day. Our loved one grew up in the country, and Juniper Village has a beautiful court yard with flowers, trees, benches and places to walk around. Also, everything is all on one level.
