When the situation arose that I knew I needed to place my mom in a specialized care facility. "A Place for Mom" was a lifesaver and comfort to me. They provided me with many choices of facilities helped to set up appts, and the staff was kind and compassionate. They helped me find this wonderful facility that specifically care for dementia patients. I a m blessed to know my mom is safe and being cared for.

Serenity Care has been all good. She loves the food, staff, and the people have been really nice. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families

The Laurels Senior Living Community in Hazleton, PA
4.8

This is a very nice community, and it is the location we selected for my Mom. I'm familiar with some of the staff and residents, so I knew it would be a good place for her. Everyone is friendly, and it is very clean. I'd like it if they had a bit more coverage for activities, but based on the calender I've seen they have a fairly good range of them.
