Good Community, Good Staff

My parent has had a very good experience at Juniper Village at Brookline. The only recommendation would be to have a more thorough orientation upon becoming a resident. There are a lot of options and activities and these should be explained and have literature that can be referenced by the resident and the supporting family members to aid the resident in making decisions.

Juniper Village at Brookline Senior Living

Pennsylvania offers a wealth of beautiful scenery, and the views at Juniper Village at Brookline Senior Living are no exception. From the gazebo in the courtyard, you can look out at a landscape of mature trees that provide particularly stunning foliage in the fall. Inside this assisted living community, you’ll find a welcoming atmosphere and cozy spaces where you can get to know your neighbors.

Juniper’s innovative Connect4Life program improves health and well-being. The program features on-site services such as therapy, pharmacy, primary care, and more — making Juniper a one-stop-shop for many health care needs. A dedicated medical concierge coordinates services on- and off-site, meaning families don’t need to stress over the details of their loved one’s care.

Connect4Life also leads to better outcomes — an independent study confirmed that Juniper residents have lower re-hospitalization rates compared to residents of other senior living communities. Convenient, coordinated care keeps residents healthier and enables them to live more fully.

State College, Pennsylvania, offers several local museums and other attractions within reach. You may want to explore the limestone trail at The Arboretum at Penn State, or examine art at the Palmer Museum of Art. There are many ways to spend your...

Recommend Juniper's assisted living facility, but not skilled nursing

Overall experience. 4 for assisted living, 2 for skilled nursing. Juniper's skilled nursing facility is in need of a major cosmetic overhaul. It is very dark and dingy, compared to the assisted living side, which is very bright and cheerful. Cleanliness. 3 for assisted living, 2 for skilled nursing Friendliness of staff. 4 for assisted living, 3 for skilled nursing Quality of care. 4 for assisted living, 3 for skilled nursing Meals/Dining. 4 for assisted living, 2 for skilled nursing Activities. 4 for assisted living, 4 for skilled nursing Value for Cost. 4 for assisted living, 2 for skilled nursing

Would Recommend

The staff has been very accommodating, especially regarding food - which is always an issue for my brother (4 in that category from him is good). I would recommend Juniper Village at Brookline to others.

They aren't very forthcoming with their information. When a patient falls, or a medication is changed, family is not notified in a timely manner. I've found out information through the pharmacy that is used about a medication change, and other things through family members.

unhappy with the Inn's management

My Mother was in the assisted living side for over 2 years and transitioned to the skilled care side. The skilled care side is 5 stars from management to staff. Excellent caring side. Hard to imagine anything better. The assisted living side was also excellent from a caring and daily staff side. The management and front office help on the Inn side was slightly below bad. Response time to normal questions was weeks or months. In fact the manager ducked out of sight when my sister came in to clean out my Mothers belongings. We asked for help in getting my Mother's long term care insurance to kick in and they were not helpful, and when they did respond the answers were almost like it was for another person. There was no written long term care program for her and after we asked multiple times for one we got one but it was was well after she had moved to assisted living. If that management was under my control there would be at least one person redoing their resume.

A welcoming community in a difficult time.

This is a great place. They were very welcoming and very willing to work with our unique situation, which was very much appreciated. We were very much treated like individuals, and they took the time to work through unique details with us. They were incredibly caring, and they made a difficult transition very successful. Our loved one enjoyed the activities very much. She particularly enjoyed the exercise program and liked to be active. She also enjoyed the social community aspects of being around other people and being able to talk with them. Her room was incredibly clean, and somebody came into room daily to make her bed. We were very impressed. There were never any smells, her bathroom was clean, and everything was always immaculate.

There are communities that are cheaper in the area that provide the same care. But the community is clean, neat and the staff is friendly. The food was really good and I would recommend this community to others if you can afford it.

Mom was in juniper for rehab for a few weeks after a broken hip. We never got to visit her due to COVID, so do not know of the physical conditions. However, they wanted to "send her back" within a few hours of receiving her, as she was combative and uncooperative (she has dementia). We had to tell the nurses how to approach her and what to do to get more cooperation. The staff should have known all of that! Lack of training on their part? Should be standard in nursing school!

great community atmosphere

We chose Juniper Village at Brookline Senior Living because of the proximity to where I live. My mom's room is a nice size. The food here is good, they have some variety and the food is fairly fresh. My favorite part and my mothers favorite part about the community would be having people around to socialize with and the community atmosphere. I would recommend.

Just average

The main negative I have is the billing was always messed up. I feel it was expensive. It was an average place. It is geared more toward younger independent living folks who do not need much care. They have tons of activities. Not so good for folks that need help with higher end care needs.

Review of Juniper Village at Brookline

Nursing staff is excellent! Can ask for help if you need it! Housekeepers help keep your room clean and fresh towels and your laundry (on Monday) kitchen help makes good meals. Can have something made to order. Connections dept has many good activities, grocery bus 2pm Tuesday.

Review of Juniper Village at Brookline Senior Living - State College, PA

Tuesday 9:30am grocery bus to Weis is great! Connections staff has lots of good activities (exercise, 4pm happy hour on bridge, watercolor painting, bingo etc.). Housekeepers keep rooms clean daily! Kitchen staff has good meals and choice of salads and sandwiches and soups. Mail gets sorted. M – Sat. (Not on holidays!) Nurses are very helpful with meds, diabetics’ blood sugar and all questions!

Excellent friendly, caring staff. Accommodations, services rate an “A” too. Staff/Nursing/Resident ratio was very good. Friendly. “Affordable” compared to competition. Administration was excellent, too. An “enjoyable” 3 1/2 month stay. If assisted living again become necessary. I will return.
