The Gardens at Stevens

I recently had the opportunity to tour The Gardens at Stevens, and I came away with a really positive impression. The facility was clean, welcoming, and had a calm, comfortable atmosphere. The staff I encountered were friendly and seemed genuinely engaged with the residents. I especially want to recognize, Mary Ellen. She was absolutely wonderful during the tour, very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. She took her time explaining everything, answered all of my questions, and made me feel at ease throughout the visit. You can tell she truly cares about the residents and their families. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would feel confident recommending The Gardens at Stevens to anyone looking for quality care in a supportive environment.

Mary Ellen (Admissions Director) was easy to work with and was very accommodating with questions regarding open beds for MAday1 patients. Thank you. I do appreciate you Mary Ellen

I had the opportunity to visit The Gardens at Stevens and spend some time interacting with both staff and residents. The team was kind, attentive, and clearly committed to supporting those in their care. It was great to see residents engaged in activities and staying connected throughout the day. They also offer a range of services from personal care through skilled nursing, which can be helpful for families looking for different levels of support in one place.

Mary Ellen, Eve, Jen, and the entire nursing staff truly go above and beyond every single day. Their compassion, patience, and attention to detail make such a difference—not just in providing excellent care, but in creating a comforting and uplifting environment. They treat everyone with dignity and kindness, and it’s clear that they truly love what they do. It’s so reassuring to know that residents are in such capable and caring hands. The teamwork, professionalism, and positive energy of the staff really stand out. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they do and would highly recommend The Garden at Stevens to anyone looking for a place where people are genuinely cared for like family.

My mother was placed there for rehab after a stroke. We were told she would be evaluated for therapy the day after she arrived. It was obvious when we arrived there was not sufficient staff. The place was dirty and smelled strong of urine. The evaluation was moved out to the next day, then again to the next! My mom laid for almost 4 days! I feel like the aides on the floor did the best they could, but administration should have been honest about how long it was going to be for her to be evaluated and the fact they didn't have enough staff. My sister and I were with her on Day 6 when she passed out. We called for help and no one came which was typical. If we had not been there, my mom would probably not be here! Please check out this place before taking a loved one there. If I could rate them honestly it would be a minus 10! Just want to add.... due to their negligence, my mother developed blood clots and died on Dec 4th. We were told by Penn State Health, before she was sent to Rehab, that she would make a full recovery!! After I did the original review I did get a call from the Administration...they told me they would get back to me and of course, they never did!! I hope nobody ever has to go through what my family did!
