"My Mother in Law has been in the Brookdale Northampton Memory Care Unit for nine months and as in any large facility there are strengths and limitations. Overall we are pleased with this facility. I feel your loved one will be safe there. These are our observations and opinions: Strengths: Residents go to St. Mary's hospital for any necessary hospitalizations and that was our first hospital choice, It was the right distance for the family to visit. The price seemed reasonable and fair compared to other places, though as more support is required, the price can go up. The rooms are large and clean with a private bathroom that includes a private shower. Many memory care units do not have this. The overall feeling of the facility was homey; not too big. This was especially important in the memory care unit as mom often has no idea where she is. There are very nice personalized visual aids to make her room recognizable. Residents are free to walk about without too many limitations. There is a beautiful outdoor patio that is easily accessible. For the most part, the food is good. The staff are very, very good. I have watched them interact with many challenging residents over a long time period and they really watch out for the residents and for the majority of the time treat them in a kind and respectful manner. One thing that I love is the constant effort to provide activities that are stimulating to the residents and appropriate for their age and lifespan experiences. Yesterday I was sent a picture of my mother in law at the pumpkin farm with a zucchini necklace around her neck. She was smiling and it made me cry. I was so grateful that she had this experience. Arlene the manager is wonderful and available and responsive. Gerry has amazing energy for activities and I don't know how she does it. Oksanna and Janet are the two medical staff I have dealt with on the floor and they are wonderful, working through issues with our family even when we were not always in full agreement. Mom is clean all of the time but in the beginning we needed to work on the shower issue. There is a great hair dresser, Robin. The upstairs restaurant is nice and I can bring mom up if there is room, but sometimes there is not room. Weaker points: You need to carefully monitor the medical issues and communication can be difficult. The physician that is assigned to mom has only seen her personally one time and that was because we complained and were ready to bring her to the office. I recently asked the doctor's office for information that another physician had requested and did not get it after many repeated calls. The doctor is not directly connected with Brookdale but serves as an independent medical provider at Brookdale. Same with the podiatrist, who comes in but on a kind of random schedule. The physician assistant who works under the independent physician was seeing mom regularly but in the beginning we were not always aware of that so we had a meeting to increase communication. The nursing staff is approachable and helpful but the family needs to keep a close eye on mom's medical issues. The coordination of medical issues between multiple providers has been our biggest challenge. The home health care team is superb and they come into play after a hospitalization or a medical issue where therapies and closer monitoring are necessary. A few examples I can give were when mom had a fall but all medical personnel were not informed and when mom had a hospitalization for TIA and home health was unaware. "

"I met with the administrator of Hidden Meadows and I had a walk through the facility. It was very clean. It was a new facility and everything was very nice. I liked that place because it was close to a hospital. Everybody looked happy. "

"I like the step-up program at Holland Village, It's all in the same place. The staff members that I met during the tour were all very kind and caring. The room was just the right size for what I was looking for. There's a heated indoor swimming pool, which is a wonderful thing, and they have medical staff on duty. I would choose to live there."

"My mother has been in Blue Bell Place since February. The rooms are a really nice size. They're big, they're airy. She had it painted the color she wanted. Nice and light, nice and bright. Big windows, nice-sized bathroom, a sink and a shower, big double door closets. It's a small community. It's 55 in her unit, and in the other unit, which is Alzheimer's, there's another 40 or so. We've had a little bit of an accident where she tripped and fell in her room. She ended up in the hospital for a few days, but they were right on top of it, called me up right away and told me what they were doing. I'm not real happy with their in-house doctors. I actually brought my group back because I didn't think that they were attentive enough. Everybody is very nice, very attentive. They offer a lot. They have a cocktail party every Friday night for the people who live there. They bring in a bartender, and he makes all the drinks they want, and so it's kind of fun. Other than the fact that I wasn't happy with the doctors, I'm pleased with it, and she is, too. "

"Everything at Oxford Crossings was amazing. Carlen was extremely helpful and just had nothing but a ton of information for me, and it was all very helpful. The place was beautiful. The staff was amazing. The facilities were top-notch. It was a newer facility and had very high standards. The staff was just completely professional, very courteous, and very friendly. I was unable to sample a meal but they did show me a menu, and it seemed to be a rotating menu. They said special requests were also provided within reason, but it seemed like they go above and beyond for their residents. I was very impressed. I did meet the event coordinator, and she had a full list of activities."

"My sister moved up to Phoebe Richland Community. It was very welcoming. They gave her all the physical therapy she could handle, which was great. She had physical therapy almost every day and occupational therapy almost every day when she got there. She still gets it quite frequently. The staff is very nice. She enjoys the other residents there. She says she has a wonderful time getting to know them and they're very caring also. I was there one Saturday when the director himself was helping someone move into their memory care area. He was moving the clothing and stuff in himself on a Saturday. They're just delightful. There's an exercise class of some kind every morning, wheelchair volleyball, chair, or tai-chi. There's at least one activity every morning and one or two activities every afternoon. Every day I call or when I talk to my sister, she'll say, "Oh yes, we had an exercise this morning." It's a smaller place, so they can't offer the diversity of activities that a larger facility might offer. The assisted living has a beautiful lounge area when you walk in. The dining room is lovely. You couldn't ask for anything better. I get no complaints from my sister except there's no salt, but she can bring some herself. That's for health reasons. I saw two small library reading areas, a game room, a big lounge, and a dining room. She's in a temporary room right now because there were no rooms available, so it's a little small but very nice and furnished. It has a dresser, a wardrobe, a chair, a bed, a little kitchenette, and a beautiful bathroom that's handicapped accessible. It is less expensive than others for definitely something better. Their staff is especially caring. This place is much more consistent with their staffing, which means the staff gets to know their people better."

"My dad will move to Brandywine Living at Senior Suites. I like the feel of the place, I felt that it was appropriate for my father. I felt like some of the rooms were a little bit dark, and some were better. What stuck out was that the air conditioning was the ugly part of the room. The community is beautiful and the staff that I met was wonderful, they showed me the whole place. The main entrance living room area, the dining area, they have a theater room, and like a nice bar lounge. They also have a courtyard, though I thought the courtyard could use a little life. Maybe adding a comfortable shading out there would be nice."

"I visited Oakwood Residence. My problem with that one was that I had macular degeneration, and they had an awful lot of wood paneling; that was not good for my eyes. The person who toured me around was the one in-charge of Oakwood, and he was very informative. They served us lunch. I had tour of the room, and the hallways had paneling. When I walked in, it was dark, and with my eyesight, I need more light. However, the people were wonderful. They were friendly. The food was good. They did everything they could to make us feel welcome. "

"We have chosen the Pinnacle at Plymouth Meeting for my mother. We like its vibe, but we don't like the location. The staff members were very friendly. The building is very clean. It has a good layout. The rooms are small, but adequate. The atmosphere inside is fresh."

"Our experience having my mother in Springfield Senior Living so far is good. I like that they have their own rooms, they're large rooms and they can bring things in to sort of personalize their rooms. There aren't a lot of people there. My mother is happy and she has met some friends which is a plus. And she hasn't had any complaints so far. The rooms are like senior dorms which are large rooms with their own bathrooms and large windows, some of the rooms also have balconies. The staff seems pretty cool, though I haven't really gotten in there the way I want to because of the COVID. But normally they have movies, they do bingo, day trips to the mall and activities like that. They also have a library, a beauty salon, a barber shop and a little store."

"I toured Juniper Village at Bucks County, it was nice. It was beautiful, it was a very homey feeling, it was updated, and it has many beautiful artworks. The outside area, and the patios were gorgeous, it was a very lovely place. The staff who gave me the tour, her name was Diana, and she was super. She was very knowledgeable, she had things that she would fill in when we couldn't think of questions, and she was giving us plenty of information. She couldn't have been sweeter, she's just wonderful. They had a gorgeous dining room area and the menus to choose from were fantastic. They had three different restaurants, each one had a regular menu, and they would have a nightly special. They even had a bar. When we were there, there were a lot of people playing. There was a room that had a lot of people playing card games and board games, there's a lot of people enjoying the huge library, and there was a swimming pool. We did a tour of the arts and crafts center for activities, it was wonderful, they're producing some cool stuff out of that, and there's also a puzzle space."

"My family member lives here and loves it. They are willing to talk to her and food is great."

"When it came to receive extra care for my mother, I would have done anything to keep her out of a retirement home. Since my father had passed away, I had become the decision maker of her future. We looked around at different places in Philadelphia, but I wanted her to be somewhere that she would feel at home. Then I found the Philadelphia Protestant Home. The people were so nice as soon as we walked in and we felt very welcomed. We looked at different packages and picked the one that best suited our needs, and medicare covered just about all of it. Our favorite feature was that she didn't receive a little room, she received a miniature home. She had everything she needed, even her own bathroom. I was afraid of how she would react to the food, since I have heard of bad experiences with the cooking in places like this, but even I enjoyed the food! My mother has her own meal plan where she could eat three meals a day and snacks like muffins in between. She even made her own group of friends with the other residents at the Protestant home and they did numerous activities to keep everybody involved. My mother passed away in November of 2010, but I know that she enjoyed the last few months of her life. She was surrounded by her new friends, whom she referred to as her family. I was able to visit her whenever I wanted and they kept us very involved in her daily schedules and medical problems. I am glad my mother had the experience that she did at the Protestant Home, because it changed the way that I think about retirement homes. I would definitely recommend them to anybody. "
