Very nice and spacious. Mom is happy. Some small adjustments could make it near perfect.
Staff is very good but just hard to find or reach at times.
Facility is clean. Her biweekly room cleaning could be more thorough. It is cafeteria style food which we knew going in. But the selection and sandwiches could use some help.

Nice home feel
I like that the staff was very friendly and seemed to care for [name removed]. I do know [name removed].said she did not care for the meals there. Said they were very bland lol and dinners were too small. It is a nice place. I wouldn't mind looking into it when I need an assistant living place.

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We appreciate the positive feedback because we work so hard to create a vibrant, caring community. Please share your loved ones concerns regarding the meals with the Dining Services Director or Executive Director. While we know how difficult it is to please everyone's palate, there are creative ways to add flavor to meals and residents can always ask for seconds!

Not all it was cracked up to be!
While the initial tour was very friendly and full of promises and " no hidden costs"... there were. You find out all of the incidentals AFTER you spend [removed] on a community fee. Food is supposed to be " chef prepared" and with alternate MEALS if you don't like the menu. This amounted to grilled cheese, or a burger if you don't enjoy the prepared fried, heavy pasta, canned vegetables type meals. Housekeeping didn't come for at least 3weeks, maintenance struggles, ...I could list many more of my mother's complaints. Suffice to say, she's given notice after less than 3 months and moves out on [date removed]. I'm sure there are worse places... but this wasn't all it was advertised to be.
On a positive not, I will say the owner [name removed] is a really nice man who took time to listen to both myself and my mother. Unfortunately, it didn't result in much changes from the various departments.

A welcoming & warm community.
Overall we have been very pleased. Traditions of Hershey has been a great fit for my Nana. They have been open about my nana's needs and helped my family and I to get the additional care she needed and has worked with hospice care as a team. We very much appreciate that level of care and service.

Review for Traditions of Hershey
I would say they are lovely. The residents seem happy, and the place seems lively. I love that they offer happy hour and other community events every week, have a community garden, etc.They couldn't afford to stay in their 1 bedroom, so had to move to a 1 room studio. Rent is $[name removed]/month.

Beautiful Facility
I was really impressed with Traditions of Hershey when I recently visited a resident there. The facility itself is well maintained, clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and courteous and seem to really care about the residents there. They also seem to offer lots of social activities and as my friend mentioned, delicious food.

Best possible outcome
Now that mom is here for a couple of weeks she tells everybody how much she loves it here.
Staff is very pleasant and helpful. Foods not bad either. ??
We started working with Hospice as an add on care. Hospice told us they work well with them.

Best Possible Place
We were so impressed with this facility. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The residents came up to us to tell us that they were very happy living here, that was the main reason we decided to go with this facility.
We were given a meal when we were there and very pleased with the flavor.
You never go in for a visit that you don't see a staff member and if the need arises, they are right there to help.
I would highly recommend this facility.

A Wonderful Place with Amazing Staff
My Mom visited Traditions when it first opened when she was much younger. She always told us "Someday, when it is time to leave my home, I wish to go to Traditions". When it did become time for my Mom to leave her home of 40 years, I knew the only place she would be happy would be Traditions because she pickled in so many years ago. What I didn't know, was just how right she would be.
We have found the environment at Traditions to be very warm and home-like. There is a multitude of activities, games, and entertainment for the residents to make sure they are active. From Bingo, card games, exercise classes, and movies to religious services and outside excursions; there is something for everyone.
While the environment and activities are wonderful, the staff is truly amazing and caring. You can see how they treat every resident as if they were family, and often go above a beyond their actual job description to help and truly care about each person who chooses to live there.

Overall wonderful experience.
I am a resident in IL since June 2023. I made a hard decision to leave my home of 48 yrs when it became clear I could no longer care for it nor was it safe, since I had fallen several times. The decision to come to Traditions was easy. My parents lived here 2010 for 3 yrs so I was familiar. I am truly a legacy. Fate had it the day I came to tour, my parents room opened up so I was able to move into the same room and could hear my Mom say welcome home. The last 10 months I have truly felt like I was home. It has been an adjustment but life is so much easier and fun here. I am on peritoneal dialysis and there is no problem with my supply deliveries. The staff is kind, helpful and friendly . Every day there are activites and no more cooking or cleaning. There is transportation for dr appts, shopping and restaurants and everything is included.
I will end by saying this was defiantly the best decision i could have made! I truly feel safe and happy here.

My parents, [name removed] and [name removed]
My parents moved on [date removed] after living in their home of 54 yrs. They were miserable for the first few days. But the staff and residents at Traditions made them feel welcome and at home within a week. They are so happy now that they made the move. And they both love the food there! Mom’s so happy she now longer has to cook and is able to do laundry in her apartment. Their good spirits lift my heart as well. While it was a tough decision for me to make them leave their home, I know I made the correct choice in a senior living facility.
I also thank my rep from A Place For Mom for the outstanding customer service he provided me. My parents shot down the idea of moving for months. But he kept persevering and helped me get them to their happy place at Traditions!

Wonderful!
My mom was a resident at Traditions for about 4 years..two in independent living and two in personal care. The caregivers, employees, management are all exceptional. The care they gave my mom was wonderful! Everyone became a second family to us and we are so very grateful for the love they gave my mom.

it has been a pretty good experience so far
I think some of it is, there has been a transition at Traditions. Everyone I have spoken to has been Uber helpful!! Very friendly, and always wants to point you in the right direction.
I have never seen so many people at one organization, so friendly and so willing to work with you
They have a lot to do, but I think they need to get a better pulse on the client's wants.
I have sticker shock with the rent and the home health care. It is definitely less than other places I checked on. I feel comfortable with my parents living there.

My mom is a resident in Independent Living Enhanced care and I can't speak highly enough about the caretakers and staff. My mom is happy and comfortable there. She enjoys most of the meals, and there are alternatives available if she doesn't like the main entrees. I would definitely recommend.

Traditions of Hershey, 5 stars
Traditions of Hershey have a friendly staff who enjoy the residents and their work. I have witnessed the employees beginning lighthearted conversations with the residents. They are very welcoming to extended family too. The building is beautifully decorated. Managers connect people with common interests and where one person can provide conversational assistance due to circumstances in second person's life. There are many activities daily at Traditions and frequent trips (grocery and other shopping, fun trips, restaurants, dr appointments) if residents are able to travel. The maintenance staff have been easy to work with as they hung window hardware for curtains and hung pictures. Their apartment feels like home. The apartment door decorations give a cheerful, homelike appearance and tell of a person's interests. Use of laundry detergent, washers and dryers is included in monthly cost. My parents enjoy the meals and conversation with others. Traditions of Hershey has been a very good choice for my parents (in their 90s) since it allows them to be independent with assistance available if they have an immediate need.

Amazing staff!!!
After touring multiple facilities for my grandma this one by far was the best! They informed me every step of the way to make it an easy transition for my grandma. After move in it was amazing to see how happy my grandma was with the staff. And how well they treated her. You could see how much the staff truly cares by the way they take care of her. Oh not to mention all of the fun activities they have for her to participate in! They just had a s’more night and she was so happy to have one of those again! Thank you for making my grandma feel at home.

Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living.
