The Residence at Voorhees

The Residence at Voorhees was clean and nice. The dining area was decent. They have studios and one-bedroom apartments (the one-bedroom has a little kitchenette). The woman who gave us a tour was also nice. They do poker nights, yoga, Taichi, taking them out once a week for a nice ride in the van, and all things that my dad would be interested in. They have something going on every day. It's just that everything is a la carte, so you have to pay for everything. Like if I needed somebody to give my dad's meds or assist him to the dining room or get his clothes washed, I have to pay for that. The only thing that was included in the monthly was the room and board, the meals, and the washing of his linens.

My mom has moved into The Residence at Voorhees. Everybody is very friendly, nice, and happy, and that includes the residents there. The staff were very attentive to my mom. They were very friendly and caring. I feel very confident that they are going to continue to take good care of my mom. The facility is very nice. It's clean, bright, and cheery. It's really what sold me to have my mom get into this facility as opposed to any of the other ones. They have therapy animals that come in. They have a bird that is there all the time. The residents seem to be happy when they see the bird-like dancing, or then they play music. It's just mainly that it was clean, and that the people were very attentive to the residents there, very friendly, and caring and, that's what I liked about it.

My mother-in-law is a resident of The Residence at Voorhees. My husband is very pleased with it. He's very happy with what they're doing with her. It's clean, and it's friendly. The people are very friendly, and she's kept as busy as she wants to be. They have a lot of activities for them. There's something going on every day. Once a week, music comes in, and they have music there for them. It is meeting our expectations. As for the food, there have been no complaints from her. They have a hair salon. She has gone down and got her hair done. There's a reading room and a game room. Activities seem to be fine. You can be as busy as you want to be.

The Residence at Voorhees tour was great, it looked nice. A lot of it was ala carte though, so things like housekeeping service would have been extra there. The rooms are just like studios because there's no door separating the bedroom from the living area. The facility itself is gorgeous, it was just the lack of a door to the bedroom area.

When my mother stayed at The Residence at Voorhees, the residents there were very nice and very open to new people coming in. All the residents there were very friendly and tried to make friends with my mother, and she did. She made friends that first day and the second; during the day, she's fine. But we think she has what they call sundowners. When the sun goes down, she kind of goes off her crackers; she kind of loses her mind. Anyway, the people are all very nice. The staff was excellent, and it's an excellent run facility. The room was very nice. Everybody was very helpful. The whole moving process was very smooth. I have nothing but great things. I would give a five to everybody there - the nurses, from the intake nurse to all the caregivers I met, and I met quite a few because of my mother's problems. They were all very helpful, and willing to explain because she was refusing to take her medication as well. So, the nurses were trying to work with me and figure out a plan on how best to help my mother. Everybody was more than helpful. The decor was nice, it was more of a traditional look. Some of the rooms I've visited have been upgraded to a more modern look, but this one was still very nice; I would still give it a five even now. They had a fireplace, and they said they were working on getting that fixed. Once that would be fixed, I think it's going to be just a nice environment for seniors to go sit and relax and chat by the fire. I would say the facilities are fine as well. The only comment my mother said that dinner was okay. She thought it was good, but not great. Not having eaten it myself, it's hard to say. The value, I'd say it was very good; I think you get what you pay for. She didn't partake in any activities, and it seemed like they had a lot of nice things. Every time I was in there, they were doing Wii bowling and other things with the residents. But I can't say too much about that.

I found it for my mom. They have special meals for high blood pressure, low sodium, and things like that. She hasn't moved in yet. They were very nice. It was clean. I liked it. It was an impressive environment with the fireplace. Even now that they're in isolation, they still have activities. They can go for rides to the doctor's office, and they will take them out on outings if the situation is permitting. They showed me the menu, and they told me they have low-sodium meals.
