Assisted Living Communities in Reading, PA

"Rooms are nice, staff is helpful, many activities to participate in if the resident wishes. I like the smaller community."

" My parents moved into Keystone Villa almost three years ago. The facility is beautiful and the apartments are very nice Our family has found the staff to be friendly, professional, and very caring. There are a variety of activities that appeal to many of the residents. There are card games, puzzles, crafts and entertainment to name a few. I would recommend Keystone Villa to anyone interested in independent or assisted living. "

"My father is a veteran here so they had a discount available for him . They cater to veterans. Lots of activities, good food , and residents are always active . Rooms look good . They’re clean . Staff is very friendly . "

"My mother-in-law was a resident at Keystone Villa at Douglassville. It was a great place. It was very welcoming, very efficient, and very comfortable. They tried the transportation and bus trips, and they did a really good job with weekly entertainment. They always had musicians come in and educational presentations and live games. The studio room was large and had a nice open floor plan. There were really large windows on the ground floor. She liked her room and we made it nice."

"I used Amity Place for my mother as a respite first, and then she moved in permanently. She was only there for three weeks, though. The place was clean. I was very pleased with the care and treatment of the staff and the nursing staff. The only downfall I would have would be communication with their administration. The room was very nice. It was spacious for one individual, and that's all she needed. All her needs were met. It was more like a studio. She participated minimally in their activities just because she was fairly new and so scared. However, for amenities, they had a courtyard with flowers and a garden where the residents can participate. They had an individual from a local high school or local college who came in and played piano in a common area for them. They had two other common areas. One was a TV/library area, and the other was just an open area. I had no issues with the nursing staff or the other staff. They were great. The meals were pretty good. I was very pleased with the food that they got there. They accommodated a lot. The facility was very clean. She was in a wheelchair, so it was very easy to get around mobility-wise in a wheelchair."

"My parents moved into Chestnut Knoll Personal Care and Memory Care. So far, it's been excellent. The administrative staff has been amazing. The care staff is very good, they're lovely people. The room is excellent, it's very nice. It's small, but it's very clean. My parents love the food. They've only been there a few days, and I haven't seen any activities yet. My father's skilled living and my mom's assisted living. But they're both in the same room, which was nice that they accommodated us. I think it is important that everybody is cheerful. They're very kind, respectful. They act like they care versus just they're there to do their job. I feel that they do care, and that's very easy to see. They show that."

"Great staff, great care. Very communicative of every need of my family member. They take great care of mom. "

"Manatawny Manor was a good, clean place, and the people seemed to be respectful and nice. The food and the staff were good. In the independent living, you can have a shared room or an independent room. It had everything you need, and it was well maintained. It was located close to a hospital and to the malls."

"Eagleview Landing was new. They had all the amenities that you would ever expect and it looked immaculate. However, they're not amenable to higher levels of personal care. They led us to believe they would accept my mom, and when they did the assessment, we got another story, but it was the most impressive facility we saw."

"My father moved into the memory care of Freedom Village at Brandywine. They do a wonderful job with my father, I have nothing negative to say about the facility, or caregivers, and my father is now in hospice care. There's an aide that comes Monday to Friday, he gets him up and ready for the day, and takes care of his personal hygiene. There's a nurse that comes in twice a week, and make sure his vitals are okay. The aides have become very friendly, and they're doing a very good job with my dad. The doctor is working with my father to try to get his medications straightened out. It's all positive feedback for me."

"Penn Assisted Care is number one on our list right now. It was very homey, the director was quite friendly and answered all our questions. It was a little on the small side, but that was part of the charm because it wasn't real crowded. The residents there seemed happy and content, there was a nice patio for them to go out and sit on. It was in a very quaint, small community. The bathrooms were a little on the small side, and they share the bathrooms in the hallway."

"It is also very nice and it is more like a home. The staff is very caring. The lady that I meet, she has a nice room with a big closet. They have a lot of activities. My friend is there and she always says that the food is good. They have a nice facility where you and your family can meet and have dinner together. That is where I think I want to go and I will recommend them to others. "

"This assisted living community has many amenities that my family member enjoys, including a beautiful dining room, modern apartments with kitchenettes, transportation to local shops, recreational activities and a pool for summer enjoyment. The staff is respectful, friendly and keep us informed of health issues in a timely manner. My loved one's transition from a large home to a one bedroom apartment has been seamless and all of his needs are met on a daily basis. "

"Juniper Village at Lebanon had steps (they had a chair lift, though). The staff was very friendly and helpful. What was interesting was that once a month, they would have a very special meal that you had to pay for. When I was there, they had a French cuisine coming up, and that is something different than the regular food. That was interesting. I was in an apartment that was already being used, and the lady was away, but she agreed to let them show it to me. I saw a lot of stuffed giraffes and pictures of giraffes. So I asked about it because it seemed different, and they said that a giraffe is known for having a big heart. It was like a mascot. That's a silly little thing, maybe, but it made me feel like they have big hearts in helping people."
