Juniper Communities

I greatly appreciate the care that Juniper Village has provided during my stay. The staff has provided kind, sensitive help, tailored to my unique needs. I have enjoyed making new friends, as well as being engaged with exercise classes and numerous daily activities. Juniper Village has helped me make a smooth transition into the next stage of my life!

On behalf of my family I want to express our deepest gratitude to you and your staff at Juniper Village at Forest Hills for all that you are doing for our Aunt, and all of the other residents at the community! You have always gone above and beyond with her care and with accommodating our family. We can not thank you and your staff enough for the care you have provided We are very grateful that our family decided to place our Aunt at Juniper Village at Forest Hills. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

It was a great tour! [Name removed] was very helpful a s thorough in answering all our questions. It will be a great fit for my aunt.

As the daughter of the resident, I have to say that A Place For Mom was invaluable in helping us find a great community for mom to move to. I happen to love the facility,. It's always clean & there are absolutely no odors, meaning the residents are being well taken care of. I've eaten there once with mom & found the menu to have varied multiple items & main entrees to choose from & found them to be delicious. Mom, however, is a picky eater, not into making sure her choices are the most nutritious combination & at her age, her ability to taste food is impaired. Consequently, her doctor & I had to have a talk with her about how little she's eating, which meals she's skipping & her snacking in between meals with junk that's impairing her appetite when nutritious meals are soon to be served. I've spent time in the common area just observing people & find that there's some activity that multiple people can participate in almost continually up until bedtime. I especially like that because it encourages residents to get out & get to know other residents. Unfortunately, mom isn't the most outgoing person, is socially awkward at best & ever since her TV was finally delivered to her new apartment she's making absolutely no effort to get out of her apartment now. I'm going to have a talk with staff to see if they can work with her on that because after losing all her friends at her last situation (not leaving them behind; they've all passed away), she really needs to put herself out there to make some new friends. She does have a table mate at dinner time (assigned dinner hours & table, which I'm not sure I like the idea of, but it's so busy at dinner time I can understand why they have this policy. Breakfast & lunch are open to choose tables & table mates) who is also blind & seems like a very nice person, interesting, too. I wish there were maybe other people at their table, too, though, as the conversation between just two people gets old after awhile. She does appreciate the aides who attend her & help with bathing & the nurses that make sure she's getting her medications into her mouth (as opposed to falling on the floor, which she has a problem with when self-administering at her last situation) & on time. I also appreciate that they do her laundry & change her bedding once a week or if needed more frequently. The executive staff was great to work with & the front desk receptions are angels, as are the other staff helping people get around, helping in common areas & at meals. She even ventured out on a shopping trip (which I've told her not to ever do again since she's at risk of falling) & the driver personally went with her around the store & helped her find the items she wanted - never leaving her side. I happen to know how exasperating it is to go shopping with her, as she unrealistically wants to shop in the order of her list, not per the store layout, & it takes forever to explain what's available, as she's also deaf & won't even cotton to getting hearing aids. I've told the staff numerous times that they're really special people to put up with what they experience all day, every day from numerous people like my mom - I truly don't know how they do it. Mom isn't a Susie Sunshine, more like a Negative Nelly or Debbie Downer & a big complainer - very negative, so difficult to deal with. I admire & applaud the staff, most of which have been employed there for many years, which speaks a lot to how wonderful they also treat their employees. [Name removed]at a Place For Mom deserves special credit. She was a big support, even just calling to see how my mom & I were doing while she was recuperating from an illness, which was the impetus for the move to Assisted Living. And was so dedicated & diligent in helping us find the perfect place for mom. I thank you & especially her for all your help.

Juniper Village has far exceeded our expectations for my father. The number of activities, outings and social events are incredible. The staff and community of seniors are so nice to him and he truly enjoys the quiet beautiful setting. He walks 2 miles every morning on the walkway throughout the community and enjoys sitting on his front and back porches. He loves the outings (especially the ones to get ice cream). We are so thrilled to watch him thriving at this stage of life!

We toured this facility and were blown away with the cleanliness, kindness of employees, attention to detail, and knowledge of staff. We feel so much better knowing that when the time comes, we have the perfect spot to place our aging parent. She will love the warm and caring environment that awaits her at Juniper Village.

We placed my grandmother here when we noticed she needed more assistance with overall care due to her Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. We were thoroughly pleased with her care. The staff were amazing and her quality of life was better. I couldn’t have been more happy to visit my grandma with my kids here.

Juniper Village is wonderful. My great grandmother lived at Juniper for many years. She recently passed away and thankfully she was able to do so at what she considered to be her home. And she was right! The care she received while living at Juniper was amazing. You can train staff but you cannot train them to care the way they do at Juniper. I would recommend Juniper to anyone who wants a loving, caring place to take care of their loved one

I visit Juniper Village routinely and see first hand the warm caring environment provided for the residents. I’m my profession, I have the opportunity to visit many senior care homes in the area. I highly recommend Juniper Village of Mount Joy!!

My mother's quality of life increased tremendously once she moved to Juniper Village. Her physical health was monitored and managed by the nursing team. That peace of mind was our primary reason for seeking care. In a very short time we saw her mood elevate, she spoke of staff and other residents as friends, and told us about the activities she had taken part in. We observed how the staff treated and connected with the folks that live there, as well as their families. It is a pleasant place surrounded by people that care for one another. We have no regrets!

Mom has lived here for over 2 years. Staff is always friendly, patient, accommodating and positive with all residents. Facility is welcoming to visitors and guests. Food is nutritious, appealing and tasty. Activities are varied and residents always encouraged to participate. I'm always contacted if there is any concern or change in health status. I'm very happy with Mom's care here.

The facility with its incredibility large outdoor area sold me as the best place for my wife, the food and activities make me know I made the right decision and the quality of the staff reinforces that decision and allows me to have peace of mind knowing she is well cared for.

Excellent all around!

this was a super nice location. the tour was wonderful and it was one of the locations under consideration

Excellent tour from [name removed]. Appreciated the individual adjustments to support the residents "where they are", in their reality. Really liked the small feel in a larger facility. [Name removed] invited me to attend the support group whether or not I used his community for my husband. Staff was energetic and very friendly.

Juniper Village in Meadville is the best place to stay for all Seniors. Great local and can drive close to all shopping areas . If need to can ride bus or walk. The staff are amazing so nice and kind and very helpful with all our needs. The rooms are just right. The food is just like home cooking.

My mother has been at Brookdale Preston for nearly 4 years now. I have been nothing less than thrilled with the level of care she has received. As with anywhere, there will be hiccups along the way, but Brookdale is fantastic about addressing & fixing any issues. I always feel welcomed & comfortable. Mom is thriving with activities, socializing, etc. But the best thing is the level of healthcare they get. Mom became ill over the summer. They called me immediately. During her treatment & recovery, Brookdale Preston's first concern was for her well being and the well being of every resident. Not only that, but they offered support & superior communication during that time. She recovered quickly! Keep up the great work, Brookdale!

My mother has been there 13 years and she loves it! The staff is friendly and provides a variety of activities that keep her active!

Nursing staff is excellent! Can ask for help if you need it! Housekeepers help keep your room clean and fresh towels and your laundry (on Monday) kitchen help makes good meals. Can have something made to order. Connections dept has many good activities, grocery bus 2pm Tuesday.

My mother lived at Juniper Village for a little over a year. My dad lived there also, but for only 4 months. I enjoyed visiting my parents there. The entire staff was very friendly and took very good care of my parents. They were also friendly to the family. It is well kept and clean. I would recommend it other people. In fact we did. Thank you to everyone that was involved.
