The Senior Care Your Loved Ones Deserve

"My mom has been a resident in assisted living at QLS Mercer for the past 2 years. The nursing staff is attentive and genuinely caring. They provide a cheerful and upbeat atmosphere which make her feel safe and comfortable. In addition, we have been pleased with the new, very helpful on-site business office manager. We have been satisfied with mom’s care from the beginning of her stay but within the last 6 months her quality of care has improved even more. Overall we give QLS a positive recommendation."

"Quality Life Services - Mercer PA has a very good and very caring staff. It’s kept clean, with many opportunities for gatherings, games, outside walks and sitting areas. It’s also not crowded. Almost very resident are is friendly and nice, and they get along. Mom’s 92, has an apartment and we know she’s in a good place, in good hands."

Darlene N.

"This is by far a wonderful nursing home! Very clean, great meals and the best nursing staff! My mother is a handful to put lightly and they have been super with their care. They also call family about the residents to inform them about any matter of concern. I can call any hour to ask the staff about my mother and they take the time to talk with you. During the pandemic they did wonderfully to keep Covid under control. I had been a nurses aid and a nurse for years I have had my experiences at several facilities and hospitals. This is a grade A home!"
