The Best Assisted Living Communities in Berks County, PA

"My mom is very happy here. she feels safe and cared for. She really likes the size of her room and also has a small kitchenette with a sink. Staff are very friendly. My mom loves to play Bingo. They have birthday celebrations, have singers/performers come to entertain. They go for bus trips to local areas. "

"When looking for a place for my mother we knew Keystone villa was the place for her. The staff goes above and beyond from activities to just being so friendly and helpful. Her room is perfect and she loves it there."

"After my dad died, mom started to need increased help around the house. We had the time to really search in-depth for a facility close to us. We visited many of the recommended places. Each facility had a different price structure but once we realized that all the business models end up being the same monetary investment after a few years, we decided to base our choice on where mom felt most at home. It was obvious to us that The Villa at Douglassville was that place. She felt welcomed and comfortable. She really liked their packed activity schedule, the character of the building and she immediately clicked with the staff. Mom lived in Independent Living for four years; she took part in a multitude of activities and outings and developed personal relationships with many staff and residents. I was always welcomed when I visited and found her to be getting the best care available. This year she transitioned to Personal Care where she continues to get great care."

"Amity Place took very good care of my father. He never complained about the place and the food. The staff was fantastic. The rooms were very nice. They were just the right size and they always kept cleaning. The staff always took care of him. Even when he was bedridden, they made sure he was shaved and made sure that he was cleaned. They just did a very good job. We took him on Valentine's Day and when we got there, they were having a little Valentine's Day party in the community area. They also had a St. Patty's Day party, and a Mother's day tea, and on Fridays, they have a church service in the community area that everybody can take part in. So, something is going on almost all the time."

"Rooms vary in size. The room my mom resides in is small , however meets her needs. I have visited mom during various meal times and the food is well prepared. Menus change daily and offers variety. The staff is very attentive and engaging with the residents."

"My husband's sister has resided in Assisted Living for 3=years. The rooms and facility is clean and well maintained. The food, according to her, is very good. The entire staff, well, I cannot say enough good things about the staff, their attentiveness, their friendliness, and the activities and socialization they provide for residents"

"It seemed like a caring place with plenty of activities. The staff was very nice. We toured the entire facility and saw more than one room. "

"I'm in Keystone Villa at Ephrata. The people that serve me food are very nice. The food is A1. I have a good working relationship with the person that cleans my apartment. I have lots of friends here that I enjoy. Before I came here, I was in a very bad situation. My wife passed away and I was alone. Since I've been here, I got out of my phone and came back to my old self. So, I owe Keystone a lot. They have a pool table and a shuffleboard table. I go upstairs and shoot pool with some people. They have a cinema. On Fridays, you can drink two beers and relax and enjoy their company. It's just an all-around great place. I get out and I drive around in my Corvette. I have fun with that. This place got me started. I have a one-bedroom apartment with a nice little kitchen, a nice living room, a very big bathroom, and a nice shower. They allow me to keep my cat and dog. My cat and dog are in the apartment with me. The overall staff is great. I haven't met a person I didn't like. The residents are great. We tease each other and have fun. I'm spoiled rotten. What I had for dessert today was cherry pie with vanilla ice cream. They don't just ship the food in, they cook it right here and that's a big difference. I had Salisbury steak today and mashed potatoes and beans and then they have a salad bar. You just can't beat this place. The inside is beautiful. I don't know too much about the activities because I'm hardly here, but the ones I do go to are really nice. It's a good value."

"The Willow was wonderful. The host that took me around was great. It was very clean. The atmosphere was nice. I liked everything about it. The rooms were very clean. They were a little small but that's normal. I was impressed by how clean it was. It was a one-bedroom, and it was right near the dining area. For activities they were doing bingo. It was nice. It was a good atmosphere."

"We looked at numerous facilities before deciding upon Cornerstone for my mother's care. Many of these facilities were beautiful, but somehow cold. Cornerstone on the other hand is very homey and warm. We were able to decorate my mother's room to make it truly hers. They continue to make upgrades to the facility, but aside from the facility the staff is wonderful. They have a dedicated staff that truly cared for my mother. It is a hard decision to place a parent with dementia, but I know that I made the right one when I chose Cornerstone. "

"My friend moved into Penn Assisted Care. It was a good match for him. It wasn't a hard process at all. The staff members are very helpful. They take the time to address any situations that need to be addressed. They're very professional. My friend likes the food. They have day rooms and people interact with each other. It's a pleasant setting and very personal."

"The Legend of Allentown provided a warm and inviting family environment. The facility was excellently maintained and very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We worked with the Sales Director who was amazing- she helped our brother find a wonderful apartment and did everything possible to help us prepare for his arrival. She met with our brother in his rehab facility and spent much time helping him understand the facility and was very welcoming to him and our family. The Legend’s front desk staff and the maintenance person were tremendous in preparing his apartment for his arrival. The respect afforded the residents was very evident and was important in our choice. In our preparation for choosing Legend of Allentown, we toured many facilities in the area and none compared to the cleanliness, newness of appearance and the friendliness of staff and residents. We felt at home at the facility even before our brother was due to arrive. As we worked very closely with the Sales Director and ensured all was ready for his arrival, his admission was canceled due to multiple medical emergencies and he eventually passed away before ever going to Legend of Allentown. Our sadness over losing our brother was supported by the staff at Legend who was so kind and caring over our sadness and loss. In summary, we would recommend Legends of Allentown as an excellent facility and a loving destination for a family member and although we could not experience with our brother, our personal experience in preparing for his stay was tremendous."

"My husband has been a resident at Eagleview Landing since June of 2023. We (all of our family and even our friends) are so pleased with the care, compassion, knowledge and friendliness of everyone at this facility. They made his adjustment a breeze. Even his neurologist commented on how well he adjusted (and I feel it because of the care he gets everyday!) Michele G. is your initial contact. Michele does an outstanding job explaining what to expect but, most importantly once you are there she still follows up to make sure your expectations are being met. You will find everyone from General Manager, Business Office, Front Desk Team, Nurses, Caregivers, Therapy team , Kitchen, Activities Coordinators, Cleaning Crew, and Maintenance Crew are always accessible and willing to help if you need anything! The Bayada Therapy team does an outstanding job. Seniority Health also takes great care of the residents. The "amenities" are great. No need to take your love one or yourself out for hairdresser, nail, Dr. Dentist and Podiatry. The food service is amazing. Great selection of meals for residents and each plate is made to order. Impressive!! Along with the great care. The facility itself is beautiful and well maintained. Very clean and does NOT smell. I have had family and friends tell me they have never seen a Long Term Care Facility so nice with so many pleasant and friendly employees. THANK YOU to everyone at Eagleview Landing for all you do!!"

"Our second choice for my parents would be the Atrium of Allentown. The marketing sales team was good there. They were super helpful. It's a newer facility, so the building is nice. They have a more active memory care facility. Every time we went to visit there, there was always a large group of people doing activities together. The activities there were more robust than what was going on at the other place. They had a lot of onsite services available, too. It's a large rectangle. There's a courtyard for memory care that's accessible for residents. They have a spot where they can go. The tour experience was great. They were very accommodating. It was very good. The staff who gave the tour was great, too."
