What Families Think

An automated summary of family reviews and public information. Not verified by MyLivingChoice; confirm services, staffing and pricing with the community.

Most reviewers describe serious, concrete problems at Harmony House Manor — reports of rough handling of residents, unsanitary rooms, thin staffing, and little in the way of food choice or activities. One frequent visitor pushes back, saying they've seen caring staff and decent meals, but the overall picture from Google reviews (2.1 out of 5 from 10 reviews) is largely troubling.

What reviewers praise

  • One frequent visitor says staff genuinely care for residents
  • That same visitor found meals acceptable and staff attentive
  • No abuse witnessed by at least one regular visitor

What reviewers flag

  • Multiple reports of residents being handled roughly or hit by staff
  • Reports of urine/feces odors, bed bugs, and dirty rooms
  • Reviewers describe very thin staffing, e.g. only a few staff for the whole building
  • Complaints of little food choice, no activities, and minimal social interaction
  • One report of a $1,000 non-refundable deposit not returned as promised
  • One review says dementia unit doors are not kept locked

About Harmony House Manor Inc

Harmony House Manor Inc is an assisted living community in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, licensed for up to 84 residents.

Reviews of the facility are sharply divided. Most reviewers report serious concerns about staffing levels, sanitation, meals, and activities. Multiple families describe inadequate staff supervision, unpleasant odors in rooms and hallways, limited food choices served in rooms rather than communal dining, and minimal structured activities or social engagement. Several reviewers expressed alarm about conditions they witnessed during visits. A smaller number of reviewers who visit regularly report positive interactions with staff and satisfactory meals, though they acknowledge reading negative accounts from others.

The consistency of complaints across multiple independent reviews about understaffing, cleanliness, dining practices, and resident engagement suggests prospective families should conduct thorough in-person visits and request detailed information about current staffing ratios, dining arrangements, and daily programming before making a decision.

My friend's mother, who has Alzheimer's, was placed here after a stay in Conemaugh Hospital. My friend has an intellectual disability and is an only child. I have become her guardian, and I take her to visit her mother on the weekends. This place is the most horrific, under-staffed, smelly nursing home in the area. I would not put my dog here. This is an absolutely depressing environment that is full of neglect due to the lack of staffing. If I could give it a zero rating, I would.

My loved one does not get to eat if he doesn't eat what they make. No menus, no meal options and the water is left in hallway in a pitcher if they want a drink. They eat in their room or a table facing the wall in the hallway. Room and hallways smell like urine or feces. No social interaction, no music and no activities. The aides (who are not trained for dementia patients) sit in hallway either on their phones, laying on loveseat or watching TV. Seen it all. When state comes in the D.O.N makes everything seem so perfect. Not enough staff so an aide spends the night to sleep and gets paid for it and her room has bed bugs. State should be ashamed of themselves. No one deserves to live like this. If you love your loved one DO NOT PLACE THEM HERE. We did not place our loved one here, the guardian did. Such a sad, depressing place. Should be closed down or new management.

This is the worst place in Johnstown. If u have any love for your loved ones I’m begging you not to take them here!!!!! They got my mom for 1201.00 that the said they would refund cause I had my mom packed and out of there in 23 hours. She fell and smashed her phone. Took a pic of the broken chair that they have for them to sit on. I have videos of the med cart left in the open. You are never able to find anyone that works there. They should be ashamed of the food they feed them . They have no activities. They are not allowed to sit with anyone to talk. They put a very good front when you come to visit. Oh and this place is suppose to specialize in dementia and Alzheimer’s and the door are never locked. I have video of that also. Very sad that there are places like this still running. And PA do better have a law that a personal care facility has to have nurses 24/7. Shame on you harmany house!!! Shame on you Neal and Sheila Harrison for allowing this!!!! Do better!!!! I have definitely made calls!!!

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!!!! My mother was quickly placed by her husband. When we arrived there you couldn’t even find a person to talk to. Three staff members for the entire building. No drinks or activities just meals. The rooms are filthy. There’s nothing on the walls, no television, no pictures, no door signs and the bathroom is unlabeled down the hall and not supervised by anyone. They were filled with feces. There’s no showers, towels, wash clothes or even soap. My mother needed a shower horribly and they told me, “just on Wednesdays”. She would have an infection by then. They also required a $1000 non refundable deposit on top of the payment and Id love to know what that is used for because all the furniture is torn and dirty. We managed to leave with my mother and I feel so sorry for the other people who had to continue staying there. It’s the saddest thing I’ve ever seen and hope the state closes them down once I have them investigated.
