Overall Review of Rest Haven-York

common 25 reviews mention this

Staff kindness stands out

Residents and families most often describe the staff as genuinely caring.

Across the reviews, residents’ loved ones frequently praise the nursing and caregiving teams for being kind, respectful, and professional. Several families also describe good communication—like notifying POAs about health changes—and an overall sense that staff try to help. A smaller set of reviews goes the other way, describing unresponsiveness, unsanitary practices, and a lack of empathy, which shows the experience isn’t uniform.

common 11 reviews mention this

Food quality is mixed

Dining is a frequent point of both praise and criticism.

Some residents and families describe meals as very good, including specific favorites being added and a generally positive food experience. Others say the meals don’t meet needs—such as limited variety for celiac disease—or that the menu isn’t adequate for the price. A few negative reviews also mention food preparation concerns, including processed or poorly handled meals.

common 6 reviews mention this

Activities keep people engaged

Many reviewers appreciate the range of activities offered.

Several reviews highlight resident activities as a bright spot, including bingo, group music, and planned outings, with at least one mentioning recreation staff going above and beyond. Others note that activities are available, even if they’re unsure how much their loved one is participating. One reviewer also points out that not everyone spends time in the activity spaces, suggesting day-to-day engagement can vary by resident and circumstances.

caveat 10 reviews mention this

Cleanliness and comfort vary

Reviews describe uneven cleanliness and building comfort.

Some families report the building is clean, well kept, and presentable, and a few say their loved one seems content in the space. Other reviews raise serious concerns—like persistent unpleasant odors, tables not being disinfected, and descriptions of the facility as dirty or unsanitary. Multiple comments also mention older or crowded rooms, reinforcing that comfort can be hit or miss depending on where a resident is placed and what they’re experiencing day to day.

caveat 5 reviews mention this

Billing and admin communication

Communication from administration and billing is a recurring concern.

Some reviews praise the business office for being thorough and helpful, including assistance with Medicaid paperwork and ongoing care planning meetings. However, several others describe delays, confusion, or a difficult experience with billing—such as being hounded for applications or receiving information late. There are also comments about unprofessional administration in how updates and paperwork were handled.
