Assisted Living Communities in Newtown, PA

"Wesley Enhanced Living Upper Moreland was great. I liked the way it was laid out. The apartments were nice. I like everything about it. It was just the cost was not good for me. The staff members were very nice. They have different clubs and stuff like that."

"My mom was isolated and fearful living in an apartment. Now at Legacy Gardens she is happy and comfortable. When I visited her with my teenager we got good feelings about it. Someone braided my mom's hair and it was so cute. I feel so glad to know she is safe and around people and no longer so afraid. "

"My aunt is in Oakwood Residence. I had a good experience with them. They were helpful. Any questions I had, they answered me. Any time I called, they called me right back. I have no complaints. My aunt seems to like it. She has been in the assisted living part for almost two weeks now, but we're not allowed to go into the rooms. They sent me pictures, and I could see it was a very nice large room with a nice closet, a bed, a nice comfy chair, and the bathroom is nice. She said the food is good. You get a menu and you pick what you want. You have two or three choices, and you have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. I can also bring her snacks, and she has a little refrigerator in her room. She has no complaints about the food. I love the service. The staff has been very nice. This one staff even sits with her and talks to her. If I email them, they email me right back. I've only been to the main door. I haven't seen the rest of it. When she went in, she was quarantined for 14 days. From the brochure, there seemed to be a lot of activities, but she hasn't started with them yet. For Thanksgiving, they gave everybody a big dinner. They had a big table set up with all kinds of food. For the money, it was very good. I've looked at a lot of assisted living places, and I thought it was reasonable."

"My father moved into Brookdale Florence, and it worked out perfectly. The recommendation was fantastic. The staff is very caring and helpful. The food is what made my father decide to go there. They have several professional chefs. My father has a tendency to be a little picky, and he has loved everything. It's very homey looking. They have activities. He, unfortunately, has not chosen to participate in most of them yet. We're hoping in time he will do so. Apparently somebody brought in a dog for like pet therapy and the whole tone of his voice changed. It made him so happy that he got to fool around with this dog. It's only been a short period of time, but it seems like the activities director has a lot of good things going on for them. I have nothing but praise about that place. My brothers are handling the finances, and it is pretty reasonable. I think they were actually happy about what the rate was because we got a special. I think that it was what they expected to pay, possibly maybe a little less for now."

"I liked that The Terraces at Lawrence is close to me because I'm the one who would be visiting my sister there. We spoke to some people and they were very friendly, and helpful, and went out of their way to try to accommodate my interest and question. Linda gave me the tour and she was great. The rooms were fine and the dining area was attractive. I especially liked the chapel that was there. I didn't see many people, but it seemed pleasantly friendly. They have games and outings to go places and movies."

"It was very nice and very clean. It's close to me and my family. It's fenced in, and I liked that the residents are able to go outside (my mom likes being outside). The staff was very friendly and very knowledgeable. It felt like a facility when you walked in though, not a home, but it was nice. It was like a circle. There was a courtyard in it and you could sit out on the porch."

"We toured The Philadelphia Protestant Home. The multiple dining rooms that we saw were very clean. The rooms are nice sized. It's literally like a little community inside of the building. They have a lot of amenities. They have a supermarket, a church, a bowling alley, a pool, and a fitness center. They have nursing stations on every floor. They have security cameras. It's very clean. It's super nice. The staff is very friendly. Our tour guide was very nice. We were informed that the staff has been there for over a few years. The facility treats its staff nicely, which in turn treats the residents nicely. It's like a little family. They were very pleasant."

"The staff at NewSeasons is very accommodating. The place is very clean, nice and affordable. The facility is close to where I live so it's not hard to visit my mom there. Her oncology doctors are only half a mile away and there's also shopping areas nearby. The food is served restaurant-style. My mother likes the food. She is in a room with a small kitchenette. She has her own furniture. The residents also have lots of activities. The staff takes them out if they're able to. "

"We lived at Riverview Estates and liked them. However, it was too small. We had a very nice room, but I needed more room. The food was a little better, and they had more activities. The staff was really good."

"I visited Juniper Village at Hamilton. The cost would have been much higher there, but it was clean and modern-looking. I liked the way it looked. The staff took their time to answer any questions I had. They seemed thorough in giving me information. We didn't particularly care for the rooms as much. They seemed too small. The only way to save money would be to share a room with another resident. We didn't like the way the rooms were set up."

"My mother and I went to St. Mary Center for Rehabilitation & Healthcare in Lansdale yesterday. We liked it very much, so we're going to enroll there. It was a very nice place. They have a special dementia section and she's going to move into that part, but the whole place was very nice and very clean. They didn't seem to have a lot of staff. It seems like there's a shortage because of COVID. Patients were walking around and they seemed to be engaged, but not active because the people we saw were dementia patients. The indoors are kind of like a circle and the rooms were arranged that way. They couldn't get lost as long as they were in that memory section, which was the Camilla area. They had an outdoor section for them, a very nice dining room, and they had aquariums to look at. There was a book room in the regular section for the residents who had other issues or maybe were just retired. They have a very nice library there. One man had his toy train set up in one of the lounge areas, so that was nice. They let him continue with his hobby and one can bring possessions from home if they're not too large. The rooms were a nice size. They were a little bit bigger than most hospital rooms. Mom will have an armoire, two dresser drawers, and a table for her television. She'll have an in-room telephone, which is extra. The setup is very nice and they were able to get her in right away so that was great, too. They're having a special right now. The $3500 a month is a special rate and that's for any of their units. We walked through the regular part, too. Everything's on one floor, so it is spread out. It's a big campus, but everything is on one floor, which to me is more of a safety thing, especially with old people, of which I am one, because they said a lot of the people there are in their mid-70s. I looked at it as a place for myself in the future and I would go there. I would live there definitely. The staff during the tour was very good. The nurse who spoke with us, Rebecca, I'd give her a 5 also. The paperwork is not overly onerous. They just want to make sure that we understand the limitations of COVID. They don't know what to expect. They don't know what's going to happen next and we have to be willing to accept the risk of what could happen, including food shortages. They even mentioned that in the paperwork and that's honesty because we don't know what's going to happen. They have outdoor spaces even for dementia patients. There's a small area where they can sit outside and it's fenced in with a nice fence. It's not like a prison fence. For the other people, there are plenty of outdoor areas for them to sit."

"Our experience has been nothing short of great with Springfield Senior Living. My mom is getting excellent round the clock care which really puts my mind at ease. The staff is so caring towards my mother. She loves the activities that are scheduled everyday, once a week lunch trips, as well as the music therapist. My mom seems much happier and at ease since she has been in the care of Springfield and I am very grateful. "

"Rose Hill was spotless, they had a little chapel, and you can practice whatever religion you have there. They had a big recreation area, it's very clean, and it seemed very nice. Each bedroom had its own kitchenette. If you wanted to cook, microwave, or wash something, you could. You can make your own coffee. Everybody was nice, and I didn't have any problem with them. "

"I went to McCallum Assisted Life. I saw a room with a shared bathroom. The staff told me the price point. They have a doctor every month that comes out to the location. They do things for them, they have activities, and they do the medication. I like the location. The staff was very friendly, very knowledgeable, and informative. It's an older facility, but it was nice and clean. They had a patio. They did show me the board where they have activities."
