My mom was recently a hospice resident for several months at Juniper’s skilled nursing facility. Throughout her stay, I was so impressed with the staff’s attentiveness and patience. It was clear that Mom’s comfort was their top priority. The facility was always very clean, my mom liked the food, and it was a great relief to my family to know that the Juniper staff was able to keep her much more comfortable than she would have been at home. We were especially thankful for the attention of nurse Kristin, who Mom quickly grew to love like family. We will never forget Kristin’s kindness and sensitivity during an incredibly difficult time for my mom and everyone who loved her.

The staff is very friendly,competent, caring,and compassionate. The food is excellent. The administrative staff does everything possible to make the admission or discharge process stress free. The quality of care is top notch, with nurses stationed 24/7. They are in contact with families if the need arises. The facility is well kept inside and out along with its very clean. The facility provides daily activities for the residents. The connection dept is excellent at what they do and encourage residents to participate to their ability. They have a wonderful central supply office. Making sure they are stocked with all the medical supplies residents may need. The facility has a beautiful screened-in porch area that give u a beautiful view of the flowers blooming. Along with a back patio area that is beautiful.

The Housekeeping department is extremely responsive and do a great job keeping things clean and tidy! They also interact with residents with sincere friendliness and compassion to make sure the residents get what they need! They are true team players and help other departments whenever needed!

This review comes on behalf of me and my father (who was the one staying there). He said as a patient he felt looked after and cared for, found the staff to be excellent, and enjoyed the meals and activities there. As an outside observer (and fiercely protective of my father), I've got to say his whole care team was absolutely top notch and willing to answer all my questions, and they were truly working hard to get him in shape to come home as soon as he could.

My mom's care here at skilled nursing/rehab was truly poor. She could not advocate for herself and I feel that the staff just ignored her. The skilled nursing is very understaffed for the level of care the residents need. Staff seems uncaring and uninterested in general, particularly nurses. Took multiple phone calls to get rehab started after a broken wrist. Dining room is chaotic with late meals and not enough staff to help residents who need assistance with feeding. Only reason my mom was here is that it was only facility with an open bed when she left the hospital. If I had to do it again, I would look outside Centre County which would be inconvenient for me, but would allow better care for my mom. Also, please be aware that 5 star review from Kathryn Bainbridge happens to be the nursing home administrator there at Juniper Village at Brookline. Are you kidding me-how is a 5 star review from the person in charge of running this facility helpful in any way for families trying to make a choice for their loved one. That seems really shady to me and a significant conflict of interest.
