A top-notch facility with a caring staff. A large variety of activities for the residents, both internal and external. Very happy my mother is able to live here. The food quality can certainly improve.

As the need to transition from independent living to personal care arose, the staff was quick to respond, with sensitivity and expertise. All of our loved ones' needs are being met with patience and compassion.

My problem with the staff is the fact that it changes all the time. Food is often not that hot.

Traditions staff is very engaged with residents and family. Dining services and food are very, very good. Relationship with Home Instead is very strong and very helpful to residents and family. Very different from previous facility. Both my parents are very happy at Traditions. One last thought, pricing at Traditions was $[removed] less than previous facility. So, it is a much better value for fixed income seniors.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My Dad recently moved into Traditions of Hershey. From the start, I was very impressed with the staff as well as the environment ("the vibe"). My Dad frequently tells me to tell me how happy he is there.

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.

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 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!
