My Aunt had a stay here for a short period of time. The staff, especially the nurses & physical therapists were phenomenal! At first my Aunt was very unhappy here (she was I'll & wanted to come home, which is a normal feeling), but within 1 week she became very content here. Her change of heart was all because her NURSES & especially her PHYSICAL THERAPIST treated her with kindness, empathy & great care. She went from being sad & depressed to looking forward to her exercises, treatment & meals. On first floor of Passavant it's like a "miniature" version of Zelienople's Main Street. She referred to the 1st floor as "downtown." She would get her hair done at the Salon "down town" as she called it, visit the General Store for a pack of chewing gum etc... The staff made her feel loved and cared for!!! Thanks to everyone at Passavant Retirement Home!
