  • So far so good, happy with where he is at

    The family is happy when we go to visit our loved one, we know he is being treated well. So far based on our experience we would recommend this community to others. For our first impression it was nice to see how attentive the workers are towards their clients.

  • Do your homework on this place

    For a place that has 105-122 capacity, the are not bringing in many new residents. Not many visitors to participate in activities. If you do place your loved one here, you must check on them ALOT!!!! The building is nice, but there were constant problems with the Executive Director regarding issues of communication and accountability. We had to file a complaint with the Center For Aging and the Pa Attorney General's Office. If you look at their Facebook page, it's the same people in every picture. They have potential but based on a family member's stay there, I would never recommend them unless the Terrace was in a family's price range....
