Providence Place Senior Living of Pottsville

Caring staff, excellent meals, many activities that residents are engaged in, beautifully maintained, staff that goes above and beyond. If you have to move in your elder years Providence Place (Pottsville) is the place to move to.

I would like to say Providence Place staff and workers were great with my family member until their passing. I would highly recommend Providence Place to anyone. They are loving and treated her with respect throughout her stay. She loved it there

My Dad lived here for 5.5 years, well into his 90s. He stayed, for a while, in Assisted Living, then we determined that the Memory Care unit, with less isolation in his apartment, frequent observation and greater social interaction with staff would be in his best interest. He still had the opportunity to go out with friends and family, and frequently entertained friends, retired colleagues, and family during meals in the private 1st floor Club Room.He particularly enjoyed spending time on the computer every day, loved going to Physical Therapy, visiting the library, and attending every religious service, regardless of denomination. He was appreciative of the musical entertainment that was provided on a weekly basis.I myself spent 10 weeks at Providence Place following a serious illness and hospitalization 2 years ago. Although I was in my early 60s at the time and younger than most, I made many new friends among the residents and enjoyed our dining room conversations. As well, I renewed acquaintances with many staff members who had taken care of and interacted with my Dad.Staff were friendly and accommodating. The transportation to the multiple outside health care appointments that I had during that time was a godsend. I found the environment and grounds to be clean, safe, quiet, and respectful. Public areas are well-appointed; my room was lovely. I recommend Providence Place Pottsville without reservation.

I have lived at Providence Place Pottsville for nine years. During that time I have downsized once. As a retired librarian I have taken a personal interest in our small library and have tried to keep it orderly and up to date - we have no fiction books older than 10 years except for the classics. I recently volunteered to man our general store for 1 hour, 1 night q week since I felt a need for evening hours. Because I am diabetic I am very aware of my diet and so I act as Secretary to our Dining Committee which meets 2 times a month, There are various activities that I enjoy attending and I am always pleased with the pleasant attitudes of the personnel. Doctor transportation is a plus and our drivers are all helpful and courteous. Of course there is no place like home and sometimes I questions decisions or actions over which I have no control. But overall, if you have to be in Senior Living Providence Place is a a good place to be.

This place is a disgrace and anyone who would leave a loved one here (and can afford better) has no love. My grandmother, healthy, beloved by everyone, living here several years, calls but cannot get ordinary assistance as she used to, putting her in DANGER and DISCOMFORT too often. Administrators are cutting corners and cost for themselves but at residents' expense. The food is so horrible she will probably die from loss of appetite and nutrition. Overworked understaffed staff were TOO BUSY to retrieve her hot soup from the microwave, so she BURNED HERSELF. New renovations ($$ better spent on residents' assistants) also destroyed the beautiful, HOME-LIKE feeling Providence Place once had. The sweet white front door was removed so now it looks like the horrible nursing home that it's fast becoming.
