I like the hominess of Amber Woods at Harmarvillage. It wasn't as large, and the outdoor atmosphere was very nice. The staff was very knowledgeable. I spoke to some residents, and they all enjoyed their food there. It is an older facility. They have a kitchenette and laundry services. They have a nice garden area, a nice green space, a gazebo, and a patio. It was just more country.

I knew exactly what I needed to know before moving my parents in. The rooms are lovely, and soooo clean. But it’s the caring staff in The Elms and assisted living that put me at ease. Truly wonderful people work there. They have been my eyes over this past year and I thank you all.

My mom is in an assisted living facility now called Amber Woods at Harmarvillage. It is very good. Overall, they do a good job. My mom's room is very satisfactory. It is a large one-room that is set up well. There is a nice big bathroom, too, which is good. My mom has been very picky with food in the past, but she seems to be very satisfied with the food, so that's a plus. From what I have seen, some of the activities are OK. I have seen the schedule and I have seen some of the activities when I'm passing through there. I'm very satisfied with what they're offering. It has been good and it is above average. The staff is good, and the activities are very good.

My mom went here but it was way too expensive. It was very nice but when my mom needed more care, they were over the top as far as money is concerned. The person who took care of my mom I will rate a 5. The place is very nice, had a huge dining room with assigned tables so you knew where you were going, and my mom had a suite of her own. The accommodations were terrific. My mom loved the place.

This facility, with its beautiful, spacious rooms and attentive, well trained staff made my transition from post surgery nursing to home safe, comfortable, and affordable. The Director here is outstanding! She provides a safe pleasant environment and her door is always open. God bless these wonderful people!

Amber Wood has about 120 people, and it’s for those who only need assistance from only one person. If you need two people to assist you, then it’s not the place for you. You cannot have Dementia or Alzheimer’s in this particular facility. They’re very clean and neat. They have a lot of different amenities, like laundry services. They assess you, and they have different levels. They charge you per level based on what you need, like medicines. My mom has been there for three months. It can get expensive, and it keeps going up; that’s the only negative that I have. We started at $4,070, and I just got her second bill, and its $4,686. They’re charging her $166 for her medicines that she’s not taking. They have activities for them such as bingo, arts and crafts, take them out on a bus like once every month, and have dinners offered to the family for $5.35. There are lots of positives, but I have a concern about whether they're going to keep raising the cost. My mom is very picky, and she really likes the food. They give them breakfast, lunch, and dinner and also make them an alternative. They have chandeliers and give then cloth napkins. They have set standards, which keeps the quality of it very nice. This is one of the best places.

My father was in Harmar Village and the care was exceptional. We moved him to Amber Woods - right next door - for extended living. This is only a temporary situation to get him stronger to come home. But we are not happy! He was to have physical therapy in his room but none has started yet and he has been there a week. From what I understand a nurse saw him last Wednesday morning and the physical therapist has 4 days to see my dad. Well here it is late Monday afternoon and no one has come! The place is lovely, food good and the care great but the other services leave a lot to be desired.

We had my mom at Amber Woods. One reason we chose it is because it's convenient for us. The rooms were very nice. So far with her stay, we were very pleased.

We liked Amber Woods the best and it was the best bank for the dollar. The place is clean and well-organized. The staff were friendly and they just impressed us. She has a studio apartment with a little kitchenette. They have bingo, art classes, physical therapy, and they also go to the grocery. My mother said the food is good. Right now they seem to be taking care of her needs and giving her medications. It's all positive so far.

My grandmother is settled in Amber Woods at Harmar Village. She has been there about five weeks now. We chose this first of all because of it's cleanliness. Also the facility itself is absolutely beautiful. The price also came in to play. It is $1500 less than the second choice we have for her. I have met with multiple employees and I was extremely pleased with how they presented themselves and how welcoming they were. Their rooms are beautiful. They supply very nice quality furniture. My grandmother's room is probably 500 square feet in size. She has a full-sized bed and a kitchenette in her room. Also she is pleased with the food. She is on a specific diet because she is very susceptible to aspiration pneumonia and they really do everything they can to make sure she is following what she is supposed to be eating. They have a wellness program there five days a week and my grandmother goes to it everyday. Most of the activities are over by 7 p.m. and it is pretty quiet after that, so I would like more activities in the evening.

My mom stayed at Amber Woods Assisted Living & Harmarvillage Care Center. We chose it because of the location. It was conveniently located where it was easy for the whole family to visit her. It was a clean facility although it was a little understaffed. I liked the director and every staff I talked to were friendly and accommodating.

My grandfather stayed here for a while off and on where he was often sent back to St. Margarets Hospital (wouldn't recommend at all) in Fox Chapel. The rooms were very nice and cozy. It felt more like a hotel than an Assisted Living Facility. You were allowed to bring in some of your own furniture (i.e. TV), which there was plenty of room.
While often times while my grandfather was living there, but was at the hospital we had to get into his room, but often found it hard to get someone to open up the door (usually on the weekends). We had to call the facilities phone number and get someone down to open up the door. While the staff was friendly, I felt like there wasn't enough personnel there to accommodate the residents.
