Everyone at Melody Manor has been great. How they work with my dad and take a personal interest has made a very difficult thing to do, a little easier. Melody Manor is very clean.

Easy Living Estates of New Stanton in Hunker, PA

We're very pleased with the care at this community with one major issue. It's a lovely place, very clean, and the staff are friendly. However, they cannot deal with any sort of intravenous care. Any sort of IV has to be done elsewhere, which may be an issue for some residents.

My loved one seems to like the food. It is good value for the money. The staff is very interactive, with the residents. They could add more staff. Overall, I would recommend to other families.
