Assisted Living Communities in Fleetwood, PA

"We visited Columbia Cottage-Wyomissing, and the experience was very good, but it's just a little bit costly. The apartments were very nice. They gave us a basic tour. We saw the dining area, but we did not eat there. "

"I visited The Heritage of Green Hills. It is really large, which is not desirable for me. It is clean and modern. The food is very good. I have eaten there several times. Everybody is very friendly there. Even the residents are extremely friendly. Everybody seemed to be happy there. The rooms are a good size, but they aren't quite as spacious as other rooms I've seen. They have activities. They have plenty of social activities and bus trips."

"I liked the "at home" feel of the place and the staff treated everyone with kindness..."

"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."

"Amity Place was super clean and everyone was very kind. It's assisted living and I had gotten the full tour of the whole place including where they eat, where they can cook for themselves, beauty salons, craft centers, and their patio outside. I got to see a room that would be for whoever you're putting there. Everyone was so nice and the residents seemed very happy. They seemed very content and they were kept busy if they wanted to. There were a lot of things going on and that was right a couple of weeks before Christmas. They have a big room where they can sit and watch TV, do crafts, and cook and do many things. It was just out of our price range. The person who gave the tour was awesome. She answered all my questions, gave me pamphlets, and told me what was happening and what they had to offer which was very helpful. I know they do cooking classes, beauty salons, and cooking classes. They have outings too where they take them places. You could also take the residents out like I could pick my mother up there and take her to do something. They have no problems with that. You just sign them out and sign them back in. Their eating room was big, very well-lit with natural light, there were a lot of windows, and it's very clean. It was nice and clean. The individual area where guests could cook if they wanted to was kept very clean, too."

"Atrium of Allentown is a brand-new facility. Everything is geared around what would be expected from a new facility. The concepts were new. There were more white in the facility. This is sort of a newer operation than the other place, and I got the feeling that they were still figuring everything out. As far as how the staff presented themselves and the type of people they were, they all seemed interested. We saw pretty much the same amenities. The areas were nice and more open. It's a more open structure with higher ceilings. It's everything you would expect in a modern building. There's a chapel, too. The rooms were very nice. They had double windows instead of a one-window thing. They had a built-in kitchenette kind of space that had counters and microwaves. It's a nicer facility all around as far as the rooms themselves. The bathrooms were more modern. The location is great because my mother's nephew lives right next door, so that's another reason that one is a good selection for her if we would decide to do something."

"My tour experience at Heather Glen Senior Living was very good. The woman who gave me the tour, Kim, was very knowledgeable. She was very forthright about what the expectations are for residents coming in. She had a lot to say about, not only the levels of care, but how the levels of care and the room pricing arrangements work together. For example, when a resident comes in, they pay one dollar amount for the room regardless of the level of care they need; they could be totally self-sufficient when they move in. By the time they get two or three years down the road, if they require hospice care, they're still paying the same rate for their stay there, rather than having a price increase because now they require more care. The staff was excellent. She was very knowledgeable. She has been with the company for quite some time. She had prior experience with other senior living firms before coming to Heather Glen, so she was able to offer some insights as to things that Heather Glen offers that she didn't necessarily have available when she worked at other places. She was very personable. She took me around. She also engaged some of the residents and introduced me and told them why I was there. She talked to somebody who was doing a puzzle, and she talked to a group of people who were playing a game. It was obvious that she knew everybody and that's important. They have a rather unusual arrangement. They have like a long hallway on the first floor of the building to get into where the entrance door is. Rather than the entrance door being right on the very front of the building, you actually walk in a hallway and then the entrance was almost in the center building. They also had other spaces on the second floor on either side of the dining area (kind of a balcony, if you will) where residents could sit outside. Maintenance was very good. This is a somewhat older facility. It was built in 2016. I am told there was a fire there a few years ago, but there was no evidence of that. It's very well taken care of."

"The staff at Penn Assisted Care was very nice and very friendly. There were two people to a room, and the rooms were very nice. The place was clean, and it didn’t smell. It was right on Main St, which I really like. It was right in town, and it was convenient to banks, restaurants, and drugstores. I really liked it, my daughter liked it, and he liked it, but he is not ready to go yet. It was very clean, and the staff was very nice. It was small; that is why I like it. "

"Manatawny Manor is nice. However, my mom is very adamant about going into any kind of place. The rooms are nice and the place is clean. They did some renovations. The staff seems very helpful and very knowledgeable. There is nothing bad I can say about it."

"The assisted living facility that we would go to would probably be Abode Care of Allentown. What we liked most was the interaction between the staff and the residents. As we were going around, the staff member who was taking us on a tour stopped and talked to the residents. She seemed to know them all by name. One of the residents, when she heard that we were looking at places for my mother, said, 'Oh, you have to come here. It's great. It's wonderful.' So the residents like it. Along the way one of the residents was having a personal crisis, so she stopped and she took care of that issue. It was the interaction between the staff and the residents that appealed to us most. It was a little bit older than some of the other facilities that we had toured, but it was clean, and it was nicely arranged. The rooms were a nice size. The staff was very knowledgeable about the facility. She interacted well with the residents. She had a very good balance of seeing our needs and seeing to the residents' needs as we toured the facility. We saw the eating area, but we were not there during mealtime. They had shower schedules, the rooms were a nice size, and the facility was well kept up and clean. "

"I toured Above All Senior Living. As soon as I walked in I felt the friendly atmosphere of the place. The place was very clean and that was one thing I was looking for since I walked in. Even the eating area was clean. I asked the other people living there how the food was. Everybody said it was excellent. So I did meet the cook and I did talk to the cook a little bit. It sounds pretty good. The rooms were big. The rooms were nice. The person who gave the tour was very polite and very nice."

"Phoebe Allentown was very nice. It also has a very good reputation for the people that stayed there, but it’s older, so it's not as pretty. They have picnics. It’s a very nice location as it’s close to a number of things in Allentown. The food was fine. They are very good in the nursing home and memory care. They were very top of the line, and they do a lot of very progressive things. "

"My grandfather has been a resident at faithful living for the past 2 months . Our entire family is happy with how smooth the staff made the transition for him . He is having a lot of fun with other residents . They recently went on a trip to a baseball game and he told me how he had a good time . Whenever I visit my grandpa , I am always satisfied with how clean the facility is . The staff is also very attentive . The rooms are very clean and spacious . "

"My father is in Whitehall Manor, and I like their price and the care. The staff is very cooperative. They take him to doctor's appointments at no extra charge. And they took his hearing aides to the audiologist and dropped them off for cleaning, and picked them back up and brought them back to him, and they didn't charge so that's good. The manager works with us, and I've had meetings with her. When he was in a room upstairs, he had a big room with two beds, and it was shared. And they each had a dresser, a walk-in shower that was handicapped-accessible and toilet, and he had a telephone in his room. So the upstairs room was nice, but since he broke his hip, now he's downstairs in a smaller share room so they can accommodate him better."
