Easy Living Estates of New Stanton in Hunker, PA
4.4
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.
Marquis Gardens Place in Uniontown, PA

My mother is a resident here and loves it! The facility is very bright, cheerful and welcoming. She has made lots of friends her own age and enjoys all of the activities. The staff is very caring and dedicated to all of the residents. The food is flavorful, and the deserts are the best!

Very clean facility with staff focused on meeting the needs of a diverse type of patients. Facility is not loud or disruptive and patients aren't running and wheeling around the facility causing havoc and disruption like many I've visited.
