Assisted Living Communities in Jenkintown, PA

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

"I went to Wesley Enhanced Living Pennypack Park. The way they work is you can move into independent living, and then you can stay in that same apartment and do assisted living. We looked at one apartment, but I think it could have become both. You don't have to move out of your apartment until your assisted living gets to an extreme level. I was dazzled. I was disappointed that my father-in-law was not willing to move in that day. I would move in there. It feels very homey while at the same time it's extremely professional. I would describe it as very luxe. They have a beautiful courtyard. Everything is spotless. Any time we walked past a staff member with the tour guide, he knew their name, he introduced us, and they chit-chatted. It all felt very friendly and very genuine. It was great. We were in the dining room, and then they had a separate cafe. There are a few different places to get food. We looked at a couple of different menus, but we didn't try anything."

"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 Wesley Enhanced Living Upper Moreland. The staff who gave the tour answered all our questions and gave us information. I liked them, and the way they did it was outstanding. The facilities were kept very clean, very open, and lunch was delicious. Also, the personnel who served lunch were very friendly. We saw only a two-bedroom apartment, and it's spacious. We didn't see a one-bedroom, which we are interested in, but the two-bedroom was very nice, with a well-equipped kitchen. Each apartment has a balcony, which is very nice. The cottages are really something. They have a very big garage, even for a big car. You can open the doors both ways. So, we liked it. I am on a gluten-free diet, and I told the server that I had some concerns about the food. He served it nicely and told me it was gluten-free, and I could eat it safely. He paid more attention when I told him. He's a very nice guy."

"My husband has moved into Oakwood Residence. It's convenient. He is in assisted living. It's excellent care. They're very efficient. They take care of what needs to be taken care of. They're very caring. They have physical therapy and occupational therapy. They have a salon for men and women, they have an activity room for the residents, and they have lounges set up with big-screen TVs. It's clean, well taken care of and they have a good staff that maintains the property."

"The Province of Southampton was a very nice facility. It was immaculate. The only thing I did not like about it was that they have what they call a Jack and Jill apartment. In other words, there's a separate bedroom on each side, but they share a common bathroom. It was well-staffed. The Province of Southampton has memory care and assisted living, but I would rather have just memory care because my thoughts are, say, the memory care might be short of staff. They take people from assisted living and put them in memory care, and they're not trained. So that's another reason I'd rather have memory care. The person who took me around was very nice and well-informed. She was very good. They serve three meals a day. They have courtyards and walking lanes where they can walk outside."

"Focus on including family with the residents. Facility is very clean, and well maintained. Staff is very kind, caring and always present. My father was at a different facility prior to sunrise and if you needed a staff member you had to search the bldg to hunt one down. Switching to sunrise was definitely the right move. No regrets!!"

"We got Mom over at the Riverview Estates. She loves their food. It's gorgeous. It's very clean. The maintenance is good. They just had a whole bunch of renovations. It's pristine. The view of the river makes you feel like you're on vacation versus in a senior living home. They have this beautiful atrium with rocking chairs so people can sit and just look at the river. It's a beautiful ambiance. She's very happy there. They have religious services six days a week, which my mother loves, and bingo, which she loves. They bring in a lot of entertainers, like a lot of singers. On Christmas, they brought in a choir. She hung up on me the other day to go play bingo. She's happy that they have the Hallmark Channel in their TV room. They have a giant screen TV with a bunch of chairs and that makes her very happy, even though she has a small TV in her room. They're very attentive to her needs. When she misses a meal, they come up and they try to get her down for meals. If she can't make it down because she's in too much pain, they bring her her meals. Whenever I called the facility during the first couple of weeks when she was getting acclimated, they called me back very quickly. They work to get her needs met. I think the value for the money is great. I wish she would call staff more often, but that has nothing to do with their rating. She has a habit of not wanting to ask for help, but they know to come look for her, which I find important. I'm very happy there."

"One of the things that I liked the best was that it was a lovely, brand-new facility. It's only been there for two years, so everything was bright and shiny. They have huge windows and lots of light. The staff was lovely. They make you feel comfortable and special. Another thing I liked about them was that I could buy in, and then it's a pay for services. My wish is that I can stay in my house as long as possible, and then when I need assisted living, I would move into an assisted living facility in that same place. If they have apartments available, you can just move in. They showed me a terrific assisted living room. It was a one-bedroom apartment with a little kitchen. It had a refrigerator and a microwave, which is all I would need. You have three meals included in your plan. They had a separate bedroom, a lovely bathroom, and then a little sitting area that was separate from the bedroom. When my original salesperson ran out of time, her colleague was available to finish the tour. He answered any question I could think of."

"Symphony Square was beautiful, it was a lovely place. The director was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. She showed us the rooms and the dining area. The dining area was beautiful, they had silverware and glass and not plastics. They take care of the residents and it's actually a more intimate community which is very nice. They were all lovely people. They have karaoke nights, arts and crafts, they paint together, and there were a lot of cognitive therapy that they do that are fun stuff. They also take the residents on outings. We saw them doing karaoke when we showed up, and everyone looked happy participating. It was also a combination of assisted living and memory care, so everyone got to participate in it."

"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."

"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 North Wales. They've been very nice. The place is very clean. It's a newer facility around the area, which is nice. It's a little smaller, so the people there care more for everybody there. The rooms were very spacious."
