This facility is home to our loved one, and it was important that they be surrounded by people that treat them like family. The staff at Traditions of Hershey are nothing short of amazing and I know my loved one is receiving the best genuine care.

I liked the way Traditions of Hershey was made. The rooms were nice, and it looks like it's good for my in-laws. The lady showed me everything they do with therapy activities and all the stuff that they have. I'm pretty sure my father-in-law, particularly, will enjoy that. My mother-in-law is 90% blind and they'll bring her out and try to help her. So, they will offer more for them. The staff was very pleasant. Even the lady who lived in another room was very sweet.

We went to Traditions of Hershey. We toured the assisted living, but they have a lot of different models of that. The tour was very good. The facility is awesome. Their activities and the way they make them available in big print, hand-delivered to the individuals in the facility as well as posted in large print in the elevators, I thought that was good. The upkeep was very good. The food smelled great; it was breakfast time. The room was very nice. The layout was easy. The common areas were well kept and well maintained.

We're moving my mom to Traditions of Hershey assisted living this Friday. It seems very well set up. They seem to have everything that she needs in terms of physical therapy and personal care.
The room seems pretty big. We're looking at a 1-bedroom which seems very well set up and has a kitchen. It just seems very intuitive the way it's set up and how they're willing to take doors on and off. Their rooms are large enough too.
We've mostly been assisted by two staff, but when I was there, I talked to other staff too. I was there a couple of times, first by myself and then with my mother. We got a really good feeling about it.
My mom's on a very particular diet and the dietician came back with everything that she could do like diet samples and other ways that she could probably help us. I was surprised about how quickly she got back to us. We were still there in the meeting and she was coming back there with everything.
The arrangement that we made there is that my mom's going to be ordering food. Some of the places, even when she's ordering food, weren't willing to heat the food for her there so that she could eat it in the dining room. In Traditions, they're willing to do that and serve her in the dining room. If she's not feeling well, because she's got stage 4 diabetes, they're willing to even take it to her room.
They have other people who are there willing to do appointments too. They have other people there who are going through treatments so if she ever gets to a point where she needs dialysis, it's nice to know that she can get the appointments she would need.
They have this great rec room with some of the stuff she's interested in but one of the things that she gravitated to is the skeeball machine that she could do even if she's in a wheelchair. We have kids that like to come to visit too so that'll be awesome. Plus, they have a real game room with cards and games.
The 1-bedrooms are the farthest away from the dining rooms, I wish they were closer. That's all that is difficult though. Other than that, everything is great.

The person I met at Traditions of Hershey was very informative, they gave me a good tour of the facilities, and they gave me an overview of what they have to offer there. I'd say it was a positive experience. It was the assisted living part that I toured, and the only person I met was the admissions person, who was nice. We looked into the dining area, but I did not try the food or anything like that, since it was in between mealtimes. The dining area was a nice setup for that type of facility. While I was touring, they were showing a movie, and that was the only activity I saw. There's a hair salon, laundry facilities, and a therapy gym on site.

We toured Traditions of Hershey and met the person who walked us around, Marisa, and she was nice. They seemed like they had good activities going on. They have hands-on and passive activities every day and entertainment once a week. They said they have an RN on every shift too. The rooms were OK, but they could probably be updated. The place was a little homey, and the residents were friendly.

I liked Traditions of Hershey. It was a nice facility. It's just a little hard right now with COVID. We didn't see any of the residents because of that. We walked around and we looked at a room that no one was in. There wasn't much that we could do at the time because of social distancing. It was clean, though, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It would have been a place that my mom would have enjoyed being in.

After four years, my brother Ralph, has been a resident here at Tradition’s assisted living. We have nothing but extreme praise for all of the staff that has taken excellent personal care of him. They were very kind to him. He had his limitations but the staff knew how to attend to his needs. We would highly recommend this place to those of you looking for a caring place for your loved one to live.

The entire staff is awesome. Very loving and caring From the kitchen to maintenance, personal care unit and management. They cared for my mother in law to a quality second to none. We are very pleased with their personal attention to her and us, the family. If I could give them a 10 star I would. You won’t go wrong with putting the care of a loved one in their hands. They provide great activities And entertainment. Rick the bus driver worked with us to get Mom to drs appointments even if it wasn’t on scheduled days. Lauren the activities director, had first class entertainment. The kitchen provides wonderful food. If you can’t find something great to eat, you are way to picky. Their salad bar alone is awesome. Home made soups, at least 2 different entree’s. Everything was cooked to perfection. No mushy veggies with no flavor. I will stop now, just can’t say enough about this place. One more thing, their rent prices are also reasonable for what they provide, better than any other place we checked out.

My parents moved into Traditions earlier this year. It is very well-organized, they are completely happy with the amenities, and everything that's offered to them. The staff is always very cheerful, very helpful, and answer any questions they may have. They have a very lovely 1-bedroom apartment, and they offer a very nice dining hall, an area where they can watch movies, exercise, and a beauty shop. It's a complete facility, and close to my home. They have the best price I could find for my parents.

Traditions of Hershey is a very lovely, clean, kept-up place. The staff is very helpful, very kind, and compassionate. My mother shares a suite and that's very much like an apartment, not a nursing home, so it's very nice.

Traditions of Hershey assisted living was very nice and updated and was in a nice location. The rooms were small and a bit pricey for my mom to afford. Other than that, the place was excellent. There was a dining room conveniently located for the assisted living residents. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and knew the ins and outs of the assisted living part.
