27 Senior Apartments near New Columbia, PA. Page 2

The biggest issue is the food quality. Everything else is good. The staff is excellent, despite being short staffed. I would recommend Leighton Place to others.

There is one staff member named [name removed] that goes over and beyond. She takes residents for drives and plans lots of activities and is very caring and engaged. My mother in law has severe memory loss but she really enjoys engaging with the health workers, probably more than the other residents. We like that Brookdale can accommodate people in various levels of functioning. Also nice to see some people in end stages that could easily be in a nursing home. Her only complaint is the food. She is Vegan and can't eat most of the food. She likes the cereal for breakfast but doesn't eat much after that. She relies on peanuts and raisins which [name removed] keeps in her room. [name removed]also thought it would be nice if there was a dispensary where they could buy some basics, like toiletries, snacks, etc. The cost could be added to her monthly bill. On a personal note, my wife and I discussed the abundant use of Styrofoam cups. They are toxic to drink out of and take thousands of years to degrade in land fills. A paper alternative would be more environmentally friendly. My mother in law loves it there and we highly recommend. The items I mentioned are minor.

We chose Celebration Villa of Loyalsock because we toured and were happy with the facility itself and the services provided. We also like the way they rate the levels of care needed between 1-6. The facility and people were all pleasant to work with. They have been outstanding with communication to the family and are great at letting us know what is going on at all times. I would definitely recommend this facility to other families.
