Gettysburg Christian Home

Better choices can be found

Inattentive, unprofessional, and dirty are 3 adjectives that stand out. When they failed to keep the gate and door alarms functioning, my mother got out with her walker and there were 2 police departments looking for her. Even after they fixed the alarms, they broke again and weren't working when I removed my mother. The new owner kept the same employees who are part of the problem. Not a good choice for a loved one.

Any port in a storm.

If your loved one is ambulatory and needs a place to live that is quiet, Gettysburg is a non flashy clean facility with staff that cares for their residents. The meals are definitely planned for those with a 12 year old mind set. Lots of hot dogs, pancakes and quick sandwiches. For those with additional needs hike hygiene care or fall prevention, the facility and number of staff are insufficient. The owner was always engaged in discussions but often forgot conversations.

The ladies there need to get their stuff together

We think they could have a better on boarding process for those who are new to this community, our loved one was not shown around at all. They also could be better at communicating with the families. One of the biggest issues we have here at Gettysburg is the meals - the meals are all frozen and processed food - nothing there is served fresh for the residents.

This facility was good, overall. I will say it seems to be a better fit for residents with mental challenges rather than physical challenges like our loved one had. The facility was kept clean. We were there regularly and never noticed it unclean. The dining and kitchen area were always clean also. The staff was pretty nice. Communication between the facility and the family was satisfactory. I would recommend them to family and friends looking for more mental care than I would physical care.

I had a terrible tour experience at Gettysburg Christian Home. The person I was talking to initially who was supposed to give me the tour never showed up. Right when you walk into the facility you get a strong smell of urine. The residents also did not look clean. The whole place was just dirty.

Friendly Loving Family

I would recommend this community to others for their loved ones. it is a small community and has a homey feel.
