The Dementia with Alzheimer's was getting worse. I tried home care, but it was just not enough for a good quality of life. While digging through the web and looking at Country Meadows (among many other wonderful places I visited), I stumbled on Ecumenical. A sister company. A hidden gem. After setting up a visit and lunch through the very kind and helpful Jason Turri, a room, or apartment as my Mom calls it, became available. What a relief. For both me and my Mom. The staff is nice. The food is reported excellent. The activities are plentiful. Access is 24 hour. The campus is delightful. Easy to get to off of 83 and Union Deposit Road.

I also love that they are a non-profit facility. I highly recommend this awesome community! A+A+A+!!!

It is such an emotional process when parents give up their home to move into more long-term retirement care. The help we have received cannot be calculated in mere dollars, as it has been invaluable. We too compared other care facilities and none measured up to CC standards and quality of community. It is truly a gem of a place located in the lovely town of Carlisle, PA.

The tables obviously not cleaned either as they are covered in food residue. I've heard other residents state this facility didn't have hot water for several months.

The first time I visited this place I rounded the corner to witness 5 "nurses" hanging out and over heard one say "I'm surprised I got this job after I got out of jail". All I can say is I wouldn't let my parents live here after the complaints I hear from residents and terrible staff.

Harmony at Hershey is an independent living facility with sections of assisted care and memory…read morecare. A family member was a resident of assisted care there for approximately one year before she passed away so I believe we have the knowledge and background to give an accurate rating. We became friends with some of the residents there and keep in touch with them. Please understand upfront that this is not a vindictive review. This review is being done to tell the truth with hopes that things might change because I truly believe this facility has great potential and I would very much like them to reach that potential for the welfare of the residents. The good: The location is fantastic and a great selling point. The building is new and has a very nice look inside and out which is another selling point. There were several phenomenal staff members there and as of this writing, only one is left. The bad: Included in the monthly fee is cleaning where someone is to come, once a week, to your living space to clean. Well, that happened less than a half a dozen times in a year because of staffing issues. This facility goes through staff like crazy. There are always new faces coming in and for the most part, the staff that leave are always the good ones. They are so shorthanded that sometimes they have non-trained staff members actually doing the cooking of the food. Often, the janitor.....yes...you read it correctly...the janitor cooks for the residents. I personally have witnessed this. The ugly: We used to eat there often with my family member but stopped eating there because of rumors of food borne illnesses. Unfortunately, my family member kept got several urinary tract infections while she was there of which one of them hospitalized her. She lived in the assisted care level. They were supposed to come in every 3-4 hours to check on her and change her if needed. She continued to get the urinary tract infections and we could not figure out why. We ended up putting in a Wi-Fi camera and found out the possible reason. Instead of coming in every few hours like they were supposed to, staff would sometimes not check on her for 12 to 14 hours, especially overnight. We complained and they blamed it on staffing issues and being shorthanded. One time at 5 AM, I checked the camera and found my family member on the floor and not moving. We rushed over there. She was OK when we found her but needed help getting back into bed. A review of the camera footage showed that nobody had been in there for over nine hours previous. The residents have call buttons on them to press for assistance. It is quite normal for 2+ hour response times. We have personally witnessed this dozens of times. Communication is horrible at best. When there is something that you, as a family member, should know about, basically you will find out well after the fact and sometimes too late. We met many times with the Nursing director and the administrator. They listened to our concerns and changes were promised but there was never any follow-through on anything as we had to keep bringing up the issues time after time. Reliable information is that things have actually become worse there Summary: If you are thinking about having a loved with special medical needs live here, this is definitely not the place. If the potential resident is physically well and can live independently on their own, then this might be the place for you, however, I would stay away from the dining room.

But I wanted to send a wonderful review of the staff and facility. My Mom was no longer able to live by herself in her home because of declining mobility. It was a difficult decision to persuade her to move to assisted living, but she knew she had no choice. We picked Juniper because it's so close to our home and the staff seemed very caring and helpful. Her first week was difficult. She spent a lot of time in her room. We encouraged her to get involved in activities along with the staff and she did. Now when we called her she wasn't in her room. She was bowling, playing bingo or doing another activity. The staff really got her involved. She made a lot of friends. The nursing staff was very caring. They took care of her medications and all of her other needs. I can't thank them enough for the love and caring they showed my Mom. These ladies loved my Mom and would do anything for her. I can say that I would recommend this facility to anybody looking for a safe place to place their loved one. I miss everybody there. They made my wife and I along with our children and grandchildren feel welcome.
