We took Mom out of Birches at Harleysville after two months! Think long and hard about how much care your Mom or Dad need before considering Birches. It was a complete disaster for our 94-year-old Mom. She needs assistance standing up, sitting down, walking, transitioning from bed to chair and from chair to bathroom. The staff did not provide adequate care – we assume because the staff to patient ratio is too low. The first two weeks there she fell four times (inadequate ambulatory help provided) and had to be taken to the hospital once because she hit her head while falling. She was so ignored she ended up with bedsores on her bottom. Her hearing aid batteries weren’t changed. Her dentures were filthy. Sorry for the graphics – her diapers were usually stinking and soaking when we visited. Most staff were incredibly slow to return phone calls and emails – if they did at all. We couldn’t get Mom out of there fast enough. Mom commented, “They ignored me. It was like I was there at their service.” Well, she’s not there anymore. If your Mom or Dad need lots of care – don’t even consider Birches. The room was fine. The food was fine. The care was woefully inadequate.

The tour at Sunrise was excellent. They took us on a grand tour of both the assisted living and the memory care unit (because I was also interested in that). The layout was beautiful there. It was lovely. There was everything there that you could possibly want. It was financial reasons that we didn’t consider that any further.
It’s a different atmosphere. It has several floors, and it was more like a hotel. I think the rooms were good. It’s very lovely. I think they had a little bit of a kitchen area in the room that they showed us. We saw a 1-bedroom and also a studio apartment. They had activities, crafts, a library area, and movies. There was just plenty to keep the residents busy.

Sunrise of Abington had just opened where we could actually tour the facility. We toured their independent living and their assisted living, and we decided that independent living is better for my sister. It’s really nice, they have a lot of apartments that are open, and Andrew, who took us around, was very pleasant. It’s one we might consider, but we don’t know yet. The staff members were very pleasant, they came over and introduced themselves, and even the residents were very pleasant, too.

The Traditions of Lansdale was clean, it was open, it was very airy. It was a one-floor which I think was tremendous because I don’t think seniors should be going into an elevator for some reason and going four floors up or six floors up, that’s not for them. I liked the physical space of the place. I liked the lady who gave me the tour, I liked the place, the way it’s set up, very nice, very clean. I didn’t see that many staff around. There weren’t that many residents out, but I saw maybe three staffers only.

We went to Park Place today, and we had a good visit. It was a good and very informative tour. The place is small but lovely. They have everything there that you need. You do not need to put a lot of money upfront because it’s strictly month to month there. My one concern was, and we haven’t really addressed this, if you should need nursing care, you have to leave there. It’s assisted living, but I guess if you had a stroke, or if you are in really bad shape and you aren’t going to recover, they would not be able to continue with nursing care. That was my only concern, because I’m kind of looking for a place where my sister can stay. We like it though, and we were impressed with it.
The person who conducted the tour seemed very knowledgeable. He was able to answer all of our questions. It was our first experience visiting a place and asking questions, and he was able to try to answer our questions, and even suggest things that we hadn’t even thought of.
The rooms are small though. They have three different sizes, and they are definitely small. The biggest room they have may be a good size for somebody that’s just downsizing from a large house to something smaller. I can’t imagine myself going from a house into one of those rooms. My sister’s in a pretty large apartment, and even for her it will be an adjustment to go into that smaller space, and I’m sure we’re going to have to go for a smaller space because of the cost. The large room would just be too much money; she doesn’t need that much space. The small rooms are good because I would think it gets people out of the rooms to use the other facilities that they have around. They have game rooms, sitting rooms, libraries, and they don’t want people to stay in the rooms.
We also met with the physical therapist when we were there, and she was very knowledgeable, and helpful as to what she does, even with insurance stuff. We met with some other staff members, too. Everybody was very friendly.

Commonwealth Senior Living at Willow Grove (Formerly The Landing At Willow Grove) was more hospital-like and much, much smaller, which I didn’t think was really gonna benefit my father. We didn’t spend any time there other than the visit. The staff was too salesy. There was a lot of sales pressure, and I didn’t like that. The rooms were a little bit stark, not real cozy, and not very homey. It didn’t have a good feeling for me. They have a lake there and it’s rare to find a lake at an assisted living facility, but it just wasn’t what I thought it was gonna be. I can’t really speak about the amenities. I didn’t think it was a good layout that was really conducive to making people feel at home. It felt more like a hospital the way it was laid out. I didn’t really like it.

It’s a big building, it’s nice and modern, and the rooms were renovated and up-to-date.

We chose Springfield Senior Living Community for my parents since a lot of places are not accepting new residents due to the virus. We got lucky and found a place that would accept them. Initially they went there and it was just a basic three-story building. The first floor has the assisted living part. There’s actually two parts to the place, there’s the Springfield senior living part, and also the part where you can come back to do rehab. Their staff is pretty attentive and they are on the ball because they saw that my mom had a stroke. There are some small issues, like we’re trying to get a hold of them because of medication and things like that, but initially they were difficult. Most of the time we’re able to get a hold of people, it’s just that sometimes it takes a little while for them to answer back. We can’t go in there, but we can go into the lobby and the staff will bring her to us. The inside part of the facility, from what I can tell, is pretty clean and it doesn’t have any sort of funky smells. It’s a little bit dated, but inside it’s OK.

The first reason why I chose Sunrise of Haverford for my husband is that it’s very beautiful. It’s very aesthetic, doesn’t look like anything sad or depressing, and it’s attractive. Everything about it is good looking, very pleasant, and clean.
Second thing is, the residents in the personal care are completely free and autonomous. They choose what they want to eat, how they want to dress, or what activities they want to participate in. They believe in allowing people the dignity of making their own choices about everything, but that has its downside. If it’s somebody like my husband with diabetes, he shouldn’t be choosing banana cream pie or that sort of thing. So it goes along with that caveat, but their mission is to keep the people as free, as independent, and upbeat as long as they possibly can.
The staff seems very nice, caring, and professional. His room is also very attractive with a nice view. Basically, you get an empty room when you move in, but it so happens that the room we chose for him was close to the nurse’s station and had a chest of drawers in it. I did not have to get a chest of drawers for him. When I came I didn’t realize that I had to bring my own hangers to hang his clothes up, but they supply linens, towels, that kind of stuff. Other than that, you bring what you need with you like you’re moving into a new home.
The food is not great, but it is OK. My husband and I have traveled a lot. We’re used to eating not just very good and tasty food, but very healthy and organic food. I think he just misses what he ate at home. They also have a resident cat. Their activities seem to be terrific.

The activities seem to be regular and well attended. They play bingo, they paint rocks, and they play Wii bowling. She’s attending a number of them, and they’re enjoyable. The activities manager is really engaging and she makes sure that the people are interacting. They call the residents by their first names, and they’re attentive.

My mother-in-law moved into Sunrise of Dresher. We chose it because of convenience and reputation, and we were familiar with other people who had stayed there who spoke highly of it.
They were very attentive throughout the entire process. Even during the Covid protocols, they made sure that she was never alone, always made sure that she had people helping her, and that there were people around her when we were not able to come and visit her. They accommodated our process with moving her in. We were able to set up her room while she was in the Covid room. They are very accommodating, and very nice people.
She rants and raves about how delicious the food is, and she says the food is very good. She really enjoys her meals. What really stood out was the concierge service that they provide. There’s always somebody there at the front desk at the ready. As soon as she walked into the facility, they put a call button around her neck. They told her if she ever needs anything or if she can’t find somebody, to hit the button. Somebody will come and assist her. She always has that.
They took her picture, and they sent us a weblink so that we can get updates on her without actually even making a phone call. We could just log in, and they’re available for updates. We could also see how she’s doing. It is just really a very good experience so far.
The place is clean, convenient, nice, and beautiful. They provide her with a list of activities every week that she can participate in. And as far as my mother-in-law is concerned, they’re fine. We’ve only been there a month, but she has no complaints. I’m happy that she’s happy. They provided us with financial incentives to move her in there. They made some accommodations with regards to her room cost.
The rest of the places we checked were pretty on par, but Sunrise is a notch above.

First impressions are lasting. Walking in to some of these assisted living facilities can be somewhat depressing. When I entered Sunrise in Lafayette Hill there was a flurry of activity and smiles from the residents. It seemed like an upbeat place to be. I am in the process of finding a place for my Mother and want the best. I have visited several other places and by far Sunrise had the best feel.

First impressions are lasting. Walking in to some of these assisted living facilities can be somewhat depressing. When I entered Sunrise in Lafayette Hill there was a flurry of activity and smiles from the residents. It seemed like an upbeat place to be. I am in the process of finding a place for my Mother and want the best. I have visited several other places and by far Sunrise had the best feel.

My 97 year old mother needed care in the last few months of her life and I toured the lovely facility and grounds with the Admissions Director, Bernhard. The almost 100 year old church is at the center of the complex and it is awe-inspiring. The facility really seemed to have a sense of community, and the staff greeted the residents by name [with a smile] as they passed in the halls. It turned out that St. Mary’s was located too far from our family members, so we had to use a facility closer to our homes. I know my mom would have felt very much at home at St. Marys. After we decided that we needed to house her closer to home, the Admissions Director called and contacted me several more times to give me additional information regarding other alternatives for her. He was extremely helpful and informative,
