I've been to The Highlands at Wyomissing to visit a friend who was there. It's a beautiful facility but the staff is going downhill very much over the past two years. They have everything that you would expect; it's a high-end facility. They have a lovely dining room, activities the same as most places have, a beautiful outside area, and the rooms are very nice. I saw some of the food and it looked great. My friend went from assisted living to skilled nursing care. But the level of care has not been good lately. The staff that I met were very nice.

I have not been to many facilities, but here are a few basic points: a) the facility is spotless, b) there are not bells ringing and ringing for hours on end which is common at other facilities, c) the staff are HAPPY, d) all the staff seem to know the patients by their first name, e) the medical staff is willing and able to provide any information without acting offended, f) food is way above anywhere else I have seen, and g) the facility is very, very nice providing multiple levels of care. Seeing happy staff is probably the best indicator that the place is great for patients.
