Assisted Living Communities in Havertown, PA

"We toured The Residence at Bala Cynwyd. It's very new and very nice. Even for wheelchair access, everything's level, and there are no stairs to worry about. It has a lot of activities for seniors. The place has only been six months. The staff was fine. Their floor plan was nice. They have a library, a bar, and an area to watch TV. We had a fruit plate, and it was not a regular meal, but it was good."

"We toured Atria Center City. When I walked in it was very clean, and the people were very nice. I was introduced to someone who would show us around. It was me and my aide. He took us all over the place. It's a large place, and everything is nice and beautiful. They told me that if I got a place there my sister would be on the third floor. They had two units, and one was very large. They had a bed there. The only thing that was missing in that unit was a chair. It had a microwave, cooking stove, refrigerator, and lots of closet space. The other room was smaller, but higher than the one I chose for my sister. He said it was seven hundred and seven a month, but the one that I chose for my sister was four something a month, but due to the fact that my sister needs special care, that would be an extra three thousand, he said, and I couldn't afford it."

"I liked everything about Fountain View at Logan Square. The location was fantastic. They have a parking garage. The rooms were a nice size. They had a washer and dryer in the room. The rent was a little expensive, but the facilities were nice and clean. The person who took us around was wonderful. He knew his business. A couple of the other people we met were very good. I liked Fountain View. The food looked very appetizing. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and they seemed to know the people that they passed in the hallway. They were friendly, and they knew about other facilities. They tell you, "You should try this one," or "Did you go there?" The atmosphere was very nice. Some of the residents I saw knew each other."

"I toured Sunrise of Granite Run, and everybody there was nice. I liked that they had bigger rooms and a lot of options. They had two bedrooms, a single bedroom that was a little bit bigger and a single one that was a little smaller. They had a little dining room. It was more like an apartment, and everything I saw was nice. As for the money, it's much cheaper than other facilities. They had a little bingo game there, and they kept the people entertained, which was nice."

"I like that Atria Lafayette Hill was very clean. The people were very friendly. When I walked in, I didn't feel like I was going into a nursing home. I felt like I was coming into an apartment more so than some of the other places. What I liked about Atria was the fact that it was age-in-place. You can stay in the apartment if you need personal care or if you need any kind of physical assistance. The only time you have to move out of that apartment is if you have to go into memory care. I like the idea that my brother can possibly stay there for a while, and he wouldn't have to move locations. So that's very nice, and I like that. The other thing I like about them is that they don't have a buy-in. They had a community fee that was whatever the rent was for the month. And it only has a hundred rooms, so to me, that wasn't that big. And it was pleasing to the eye. I like the idea that it's a la carte. If they need a little bit of assistance, it's this much more amount, or if they need medication, it's this much more amount. And the staff who gave the tour was amazing. She spent a lot of time with me, and answered all my questions. She was very informative. If she didn't have an answer, she looked it up for me and she got back to me. So that was impressive."

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

"We looked at Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley. The tour was excellent. We had dinner there with some residents, and we liked it. The staff who gave the tour was extremely knowledgeable about the facility. The apartments looked appropriately spacious. The dining area was attractive, and the food was tasty. The facility seemed well maintained."

"We toured Truewood by Merrill, Glen Riddle. The residents seemed happy because I talked to some of them. The staff has longevity, which means they like their job and very friendly. I like their movie room. I like the schedule of activities. My only concern with that place is that there's a distance between, depending on where my mother would get a room, it would be too far to get to the cafeteria, but I'm sure she'll be fine. Their hallways are long. She sometimes has a lot of pain. My only worry would be making sure she got down to the cafeteria because it's like a walk and then an elevator ride, but the cafeteria is lovely, even with the outdoor seating. The staff was great. The facility was good. There just seemed to be a slight odor, but I'm going to guess with diapers and incontinence, and stuff that would happen at any facility, but I felt it was pretty clean."

"Food is very good. Staff is very friendly and considerate."

"I toured Daylesford Crossing. It's a wonderful place, with wonderful people and very modern-looking rooms. The staff knows every resident by name, so everybody is on a first-name basis. They took me to their physical therapy room and event room. They were doing some events when I got there. They were having a magic show. They didn't have the level of care that my parents needed, but it was one of the top ones that we liked. They had a very small library. They had someone come once a week to do hair and nails. The gym was the physical therapy room, so it was a smaller room. It was more like an apartment building."

"The place is beautiful, very nice amenities. The woman at the front desk is so nice and helpful, if you ask her where do you think my loved one she pretty much knows exactly where she is. Food is excellent and friendly staff waiters. If you have a loved one looking for assisted living/ memory care this is the place your looking for."

"I have chosen Springfield Senior Living for my father. The rooms are good-sized and pretty spacious. My father is in memory care, so they have sections that you have to go through a door, and you need a code in order to go through that door. The Alzheimer's patients can't go beyond that door because they won't remember their code. I thought that was pretty cool. For the elevators, you need codes and stuff, too. It's a very, very clean place. The memory care had their own dining room. The staff members are very nice, very helpful, and very informative. I asked all kinds of questions, and they were very quick to answer the questions and didn't hesitate. It is a private place. I didn't see any activities, but my father said they do activities. They have a paper of what they do daily. As for the value for the money, I'm definitely getting the worth of it. They get three meals a day, the activities, and the care that he needs. It's helpful for me."

"I toured Pinnacle at Plymouth Meeting. It's outstanding. I wanted to move there. They were fantastic. The rooms were a little on the smaller side, but the building was brand new. The person who gave the tour was fantastic, and the food looked good."
