My mom is in Ephrata Manor. It's very nice and pleasant and the cleanliness is very good. She tells me that the staff is very nice and pleasant to her. The food is good. We ate there once and it was very good.

Ephrata Manor was a very nice facility. My mother was there for seven years. I had no complaints, but they did not have a lockdown unit. The apartments were pretty large. I ate there many times, and I was very impressed.

My mother has been in the nursing care wing of this facility since the end of July. We have been so pleased with all the people caring for her (so nice, professional & caring) and the beautiful surroundings. (It was remodeled recently & even the nursing care rooms are carpeted!.) Her health has been good since she's been there. They've done much more for her in physical therapy than the assisted living place she was in before. Mom is so happy that she was allowed to use her scooter after she took the 'driving test.' She loves to go outside & at this place she's allowed to go out on the porch whenever she wants to. She can also go out to the front lobby as long as she lets someone know where she is. I also like how residents in all 3 care levels interact. I attended chapel with Mom last week & I think there were about 70 people there! They also had a small choir of residents. They have nice activities & they encourage everyone to get out of their rooms to participate. Beautiful common areas & beauty salon. The only downside is getting used to a small living space & a roommate, but that would have been pretty much the same anywhere else and Mom seems to be getting used to it, focusing on the positives.

My dad was in Ephrata for 20 days for rehab. The place was beautiful and very nice. However, he was put on a floor with other patients who appeared to be drugged and he felt terrible so he just stayed in his room. We felt he stayed in the wrong area. He also wasn’t helped when he needed to go to the bathroom and would just do it in his diaper. They have to be more attentive to the patients. He said the food is good and he got to select what he wanted to eat. He was also allowed to have snacks in a kitchen nearby. There were a lot of activities for the residents. They had an arts and crafts room, a real good physical therapy room and a beauty salon.
