Celebration Villa of Nittany Valley

I toured Celebration Villa of Nittany Valley and it was clean & personable. They didn't have a large number of activities compared to other places. I also got the general impression that my parents may not have fit in very well, as there weren't as many peers. The cost was a bit more expensive for the value that we would've received. We chose another community because Celebration wasn't the best fit for my loved ones.

We appreciate the good work of the staff, their caring nature and taking care of our mom. A special shout-out to Alisha for her communication and taking care of my mom. I know she really appreciates the attention she receives from Alisha as well as everyone else. My sister and I live far away in Boston, and it's reassuring to know that our mom gets a lot of care, attention, and interaction with staff. Thanks to the staff for the great work they do. I think it is really hard work. The What's App calls are a great lifeline. I will say my mom isn't wild about the meals. I didn't review this as I don't have any personal knowledge, just what she tells us. And, there are times we don't get a response to questions we email.

[Removed] provided for me an excellent tour of the facility even without a scheduled appointment. She took the time to listen to my cares and concerns as we anticipate moving my father 1000 miles to be closed tour. I liked the individualized care that residents receiving according to their need. I definitely left with a positive impression and will bring my family to visit for their approval.

Very clean facility! Very friendly staff. During several visits there were group activities taking place and it was heartening to see the the residents enjoying and taking part.

I have lived in State College for 8+ years. It is a great community. Many friends.

I am extremely happy I was able to move my father into Elmcroft in State College. I am very impressed with how well he is doing. His transition was much smoother than anticipated, as he was made to feel welcomed by all the staff and checked on often. He enjoys having an apartment to himself, not having to share his space with a roommate creates a calming atmosphere. The layout is very open where your loved ones can see the variety of things going on. Plus, it's easy for them to see where things are do to easy visibility throughout the windowed walls and open floor plan. Best of all is the knowledge of my father being cared for and less worry for myself. Thank you to all the employees of Elmcroft, you are very much appreciated.

Since my family is all over the US, i've toured assisted living facilities in 4 states. I can comfortably say that Elmcroft was a excellent choice for my parent to start their next journey in life. Everything has been a POSITIVE experience, from the initial contact with Lisa to the day of move-in with the head of maintenance helping to adjust their bed to the right height. The dining staff has easily learned what the like and dislike. The nursing & aid staff have understood their individual needs and accommodated all requests.

It had a wonderful family atmosphere that made it feel very homey. When I arrived, there were residents that were participating in an exercise class and everyone was laughing and joking. Lisa took me to visit the dining hall where I got to see the menus and have the chef come out to visit and let me know that they were having lasagna, which Lisa informed me was the best. When I was shown the beauty salon, there were some residents there as well and everyone said hello and were very friendly. The staff that works at Elmcroft is also very attentive to the residents. At the end, I was given a video by Lisa so that I could take it to my parents when I visit them and let them watch it.

Was a very nice looking facility. Staff very friendly and helpful. Attentive to emergency paging of residents. Director did a good job explaining everything about the facility and paperwork involved. Gave a nice tour. Lots of activities. The only con I had with it was the smell. Otherwise a great place to put on our list.
