Assisted Living Communities in Yardley, PA

"My mother is living in the Legacy Gardens of Bristol. She seemed to like it. They have doctors on staff, so she doesn't have to leave the facility to go see a doctor. They need to upgrade their activities for the seniors. Everybody is very friendly. Besides watching TV in the common area, they do have social activities for the seniors. They have a salon and a lady that comes around who does their nails and stuff like that. My mother gets a veteran's benefit, so that will help her out quite a bit."

"Brookdale Florence was fabulous. They were terrific there. It looked very appealing to me, the people were watching a movie, and other people were waiting to go to a cooking class. The residents looked happy and then the people that greeted us were very, very friendly. It felt like a good place. The rooms were fine. I think we saw one private room and one shared room. So it was to a shared room with two bedrooms with a bathroom that the people would share, but the whole place was very clean and it was very nice. The woman that showed us around her name was Wendy, and she was marvelous, just a delightful human being and so compassionate and kind and just lovely. She just really made me feel a whole lot better. She was a ten."

"My mom moved to Brookdale Northampton, and their staff has been there a long time. I think the woman at the desk has been there for 19 years. I think the maintenance guy has been there for like 20 years. It seems like people stay there because the workers seem to like it. It's clean. They're very friendly. It's very nice as far as their dining room. The rooms and the building are nice. You don't feel like you're walking into a nursing home. You feel like you're walking into a home, and everyone's very nice and the residents seem very nice as well. The staff is very nice, but sometimes they're not around and they have a lot to handle. My mom loves the food. She's only been there two weeks, so we haven't experienced everything yet, but they have a lot of things for them to do. I've started to go to a lot of different places and some are more expensive and maybe a little nicer, but too big. And then some are just the same price and not as nice, so I think we did well with this one."

"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."

"My aunt is in memory care at CareOne Assisted Living at Hamilton. The staff is knowledgeable, very attentive to the residents, very helpful, and caring. The experience is very good. She likes the food. She attended some bingo sessions, but that's all she mentioned to me."

"My mother-in-law was at an assisted living in Bordentown called The Clare Estate, and it was wonderful until she started with her dementia. The facility itself was nice. They had a lot of activities for them. She had her own apartment, and it had a living room, a little kitchen, a bathroom, and a bedroom. Some of them had efficiencies where it was all one room, but they were nice. She got all three meals every day down in the dining room. They washed her clothes for a fee and brought them back. She had someone who came in and dusted and everything. They had bingo every day, music, and piano playing. It was good, but then she got dementia and started to roam outside. We used to go there and have dinner or lunch with her. We would pay for it for ourselves and eat with her."

"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."

"We toured Juniper Village at Hamilton. It's such a nice community when you go in. The atrium was beautiful and wide open. The cafeteria looked so nice. My friend was impressed with its size. She loved to walk the hallways. The surrounding area was very nice for walking, and she has a dog. Inside, there was so much room for her to walk and get into the activity. Plus, she was very impressed with the activity schedule. There was so much to do every day to keep you busy if you wanted to be active. There's a movie theater, which she loves, a library, and a gym. They offered everything that she was interested in. We were both very impressed by it. We checked their dining area and menu. We discussed it, and they offered specials every day. Plus, they have other foods, so if you opt not to choose from the specials, you have other options every day, which is wonderful. The staff was extremely helpful and very pleasant. As we were walking through, all the staff acknowledged us. It seemed like a very pleasant community. Even the residents seemed very happy. The ones we saw smiled and said hello."

"We visited the Masonic Village at Burlington's independent living for my friend. The person who took us on the tour was very pleasant. The apartment was gorgeous, and the grounds were just beautiful. We didn't eat there, but we did see the dining room, and it looked nice. It looked like a restaurant with linens. Their lunch area was sort of like a deli where you order what you want, and the food looked delicious. The size of the rooms was huge. They were very big and beautiful. I liked it, and I was impressed."

"I toured here for my father, and it was a nice facility. I went through everything and talked to different people, and they even introduced me to some of the people that were there. I like the place. They have a salon. They also have a courtyard for the people to go to. It was completely enclosed, which was good so nobody can kind of walk off or anything. They have food there, but I wasn't there during lunchtime. They were done with dinner when I got there. I didn't get there until after 5:00. They waited for me because I went to the wrong place first. But everybody was pleasant and very helpful. They answered any questions I had. Everything was freshly painted and looked good. It's got trees and it looks like a house almost."

"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. "

"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."

"I'm moving into Crescent Fields at Huntingdon Valley. I love it, and it's the most reasonable one out of all of them. You only pay $3,000 to put a down payment, and then you pay $6,000 a month for a two-bedroom. They only had two-bedrooms left, and I got one. It's a nice size, and it's beautiful. Everything is really nice, so I'm very happy. Everything is included. They have three meals a day, they have entertainment, they have a movie theater, they have a private dining room, and they do trips. I had lunch there. I can't say it was the best, but it's OK. Nevertheless, they were very courteous and very caring to all their people. I don't really know any of the staff members other than the salespeople and the girls at the front desk, but the kitchen people were very, very sweet. They're very pleasant, very cheerful, very nice, and willing to help you. Everything was immaculate, too."

"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."
