    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    Traditions of Hershey receives high praise for its beautiful setting, fantastic staff, and the variety of activities available to residents. Many reviews highlight the community's safe, caring, and active environment, making it a special place for older adults. Residents and their families appreciate the excellent meals, therapy availability, and the sense of community among residents. The facility is described as clean, comfortable, and akin to a vacation community for senior living.

    While most feedback is overwhelmingly positive, some suggest that the community could benefit from more communal spaces, like a comfortable TV area, to encourage more interaction among residents. Despite this, the activities, close friendships, and the overall aesthetic of the building are highly valued by the residents.

    The staff at Traditions of Hershey is commended for their loving and caring approach, from kitchen to maintenance and management. Personal attention to residents and their families is noted as exceptional, with specific mentions of the quality of food, the range of activities, and the reasonable rent prices. The facility's approach to care, balancing assistance with independence, and the inclusion of services like transportation and group outings are particularly appreciated.

    However, one review shares a concerning experience regarding the handling of a resident with dementia, suggesting a lack of proper procedure and care in a stressful situation. This account stands in contrast to the otherwise glowing reviews and highlights the importance of proper legal and medical protocols in care facilities.

    Overall, Traditions of Hershey is highly recommended by many for its welcoming atmosphere, quality of care, and the enriching lifestyle it offers to its residents. The community is described as a wonderful place for seniors to call home, with a staff that goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being and happiness.
