Senior Living Apartments in Newport, PA

Sullivan Place Apartments are kept up really well. The handicap bathroom is a little smaller than normal. It is smaller than the one she had before. They keep the grounds really clean. I don't see anything that is a problem at this facility so far. They painted and got new carpets. It is a good location.

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.

The staff at the Patrician is very caring and know everyone personally. They really take the time with each individual. It is very clean and I would recommend it.
