The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Montgomery County, PA

"Normandy Farms Estates was wonderful. We liked it very much. The staff was very good, too. We didn't really have any complaints about any of that. The accommodations were all very nice. The public areas were beautiful. We had lunch there, and it was nice."

"Spring House Estates is a large place. The residents I know seem to be very happy there, and they like the security of the place."

"My father moved into The Hill at Whitemarsh. It's a beautiful setting on the old farms of Erdenheim. They have every amenity my father could think of having. They have fine dining, theater rooms, and two pools. The nurses are fantastic. I can't say enough about them being wonderful. They also have a ward where they can go if they're sick. They're excellent with their wound care and everything. It's such a beautiful place that it's like walking into a fancy hotel, and everybody caters to everything they need, and they watch them and take care of them 24 hours a day. They're just fantastic. They have buses and drivers that will take them anywhere they need to go. They just sign up and let them know. I'll probably go there when I retire too because it's beautiful where it's located, and I am overwhelmed with how well everybody has been taking care of my father. I do not have a worry in the world of him being there. They have so many activities too, even for the ones that can't get up and walk around. They have all kinds of things for them to do in their chairs, from painting to bingo, to even dancing and yoga in their chairs. They play music for them all the time and keep them moving, and that's the key. Even though they're stuck in a chair or something and can't walk, they are still trying to keep their bones moving. They're on top of everything above all the other places I've looked at. I've had dinners there as well and it's very nice. It's like a five-star dining all the way. The price is the average rate that's going around, so you can't get anything under $6,000 for 24-hour care. It's a good bang for the buck."

"For me, Foulkeways is fabulous. I would like in this place. I like the people a lot. I like the staff and the administrators. They were very nice and very approachable. I like they have different activities. I also like the fact that the residents are included in the number of decisions. "

"The whole atmosphere at Gwynedd Estates was nice. The staff was friendly and seemed competent. The apartments were a little small, but they're nice. I had lunch, and it was fine. There were a lot of activities. "

"My husband is in a nursing home. He is in Masonic Village. He is getting nursing care there. It's wonderful! It's terrific! He got very good care. The staff is very patient and very attentive. He is in a room by himself and he has a TV, a couple of chairs and a big closet. It is a very large room. He has everything he needs. This place is really great. "

"I have been a resident at Cathedral Village for the past five years and am glad that I made the move. Being in my seventies when I moved in, the home that I had lived in for almost forty years became too large for me to handle. It was a chore to keep the house functioning and my wife and I made the decision to downsize. Cathedral Village offers us the ability to live independently while still providing a safety net that we need. It is great not to have to worry about things breaking in the apartment, having to cut the grass or best of all not to have to shovel the snow. I was even surprised to find out that the facility cleaned the snow off of my car for me when it snowed. All of the things that I was struggling to keep up with in my home are now easy to get done. I also have use of all of the facilities that I used to have to have a gym membership for. I am thoroughly enjoying the decision that I made with my wife to move to this location. "

"Meadowood was a very beautiful place. We ate in the dining room and it was very good. The people that we met were interesting. Their food was delicious and their dining room was pretty. The rooms and the cottages were beautiful. Their grounds were very nice with lots of plants and flowers. They had a gym and a swimming pool. They went on trips and they had lots of activities. I would recommend this facility to others. "

"Brittany Pointe is the newest of the communities I've visited. Their apartments were outstanding. They have an area that's very light and with windows on all three sides, that made the apartment very bright. I thought it was more limited in terms of the eating facilities but it was still very nice. "

"Love this place!! The rooms were HUGE, unlike any facility I have ever seen! Staff is always friendly and helpful. Residents seem really happy and are always involved in activities. It felt just like I was visiting my mom at her home! She loves, I love it, I would recommend to all my friends. "

"I visited Waverly Heights. It's a bit expensive but very attractive physically both the grounds and the buildings. It was an old estate that was converted, so some of the buildings are unusual in terms of architecture. Their food is quite good, I've eaten there. I have some friends who live there so I've been there socially. They seem very happy about the staff. They have a lot of activities and groups that get together like discussion groups, they have a fair amount of that. They also have gardens."

"We were very impressed with the environment and the food at Shannondell. We went there and had dinner with a friend.The food was incredible, way beyond whatever we had for lunches in the area. It was a VERY unusual and updated, modern menu. The menu keeps up with the appetite that young people have. There are combinations of ingredients that you don't see being fed to older folks. In addition, that was absolutely the most gorgeous environment; when you walk down the hall, you feel like you're living in a 5-star hotel. That's what my husband and I felt about it. "

"My experience with Beaumont at Bryn Mawr has been first class and five star. The sprawling grounds and beautiful facilities are spectacular. When my grandmother moved there I was surprised at how many of my parents' friends had retired and were living in this vibrant yet relaxed community.The activities are plentiful and varied for residents of all abilities. There lectures, social events, entertainment and physical activities.The staff is professional, compassionate and experience with both end-of-life and rehabilitation issues. The doctors are knowledgeable and accessible and the nursing staff is very attentive.The facilities are very beautiful and exceptionally clean.The food is excellent and there are a wide variety of choices. The restaurants are so good hat I joined my family members there several times a week.WHile recovering from major back surgery my father wanted to go home but the surgeon recommended Beaumont. He immediately took to the environment and loved the service and ease of access to physical therapy. He thrived and recovered very quickly.Altogether, I can not imagine a better facility. "
