The Best Independent Living Communities in Burlington County, NJ

"I toured the Deer Meadows Retirement Community. It was accommodating. It was comfortable, and the people there seemed very happy to be there. It was pretty clean. It was decent, like I walked into the dining room, I was impressed. I have multiple sclerosis, so I used a rollator. They were very accommodating with letting me in and helping to find someone to help push me around. The dining room was beautiful. It's nice. I love the dining room. I saw the mailbox and activity room. They had a little foyer when you came in, and there's a lot of presents sitting there."

"I went to Wesley Enhanced Living Pennypack Park. The way they work is you can move into independent living, and then you can stay in that same apartment and do assisted living. We looked at one apartment, but I think it could have become both. You don't have to move out of your apartment until your assisted living gets to an extreme level. I was dazzled. I was disappointed that my father-in-law was not willing to move in that day. I would move in there. It feels very homey while at the same time it's extremely professional. I would describe it as very luxe. They have a beautiful courtyard. Everything is spotless. Any time we walked past a staff member with the tour guide, he knew their name, he introduced us, and they chit-chatted. It all felt very friendly and very genuine. It was great. We were in the dining room, and then they had a separate cafe. There are a few different places to get food. We looked at a couple of different menus, but we didn't try anything."

"I will move into Marlton Gardens Gracious Retirement Living. It was a very nice and welcoming place. It is close to where I have lived for the past few years, and my church is in the area. Three meals are included, and the food has been very good. They're adequate, the amount that you need, and you can even get more. Everybody has been very friendly. They speak to you whenever you're nearby. It is a wonderful place. It's very beautifully decorated, and the building is very well taken care of."

"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."

"A friend of mine is a resident of Brookdale Evesham, so I go there every other week. We also toured the assisted living for my brother-in-law. It's very clean and they do lots of various things. Every day they have all kinds of activities. They interact so that the residents aren't alone in their rooms. Even if they're non-cognitive, they want them to be at least out in the public area so that they can see other people, and it's not like they're in senior jail. The staff members have been very nice when I go up at the front. The various different ones at the front desk don't know my name, but when they see my face, we say our hellos. They don't want guests coming into the dining room when the residents are in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If the residents are having some family members over, they have a separate little side room that they let them go and sit in if they want privacy. There's only so much seating, and they can have it for maybe two hours. My brother-in-law is still doing his own things, like his pills and showers, but they have people there who would come to help if he needs it. They also said that if you need more care and go from independent to assisted, you don't have to be moved to another wing or to another floor. You could still be in that room, and they would have it set up so that they would come to you, which is also very nice."

"I had a pretty good tour at Holland Village. It had a nice atmosphere; it was not sterile. The people were very friendly. It was very clean and nice. I liked it. The staff that I met was good. They had various clubs. They had a gym and a swimming pool."

"I am a resident of The Philadelphia Protestant Home. They have everything you need. The food is good. It's near where I live. The nurses are well-trained. It's just top-notch. It's very clean, and bright, well-lighted, and the elevators worked."

"We toured Sunrise of Abington. I like the intimacy of the places. It's not very large and seems very friendly, and I love the setup of the rooms. They're beautiful. The staff was very informative. For any question we asked, they had a good answer for it. It was a clean building and well-kept. The size of the room is good for me."

"Our tour experience of Wesley Enhanced Living Upper Moreland was good. We like it. The staff who gave the tour was very knowledgeable. She was able to answer a lot of questions. The apartments were appropriately spacious. It appeared to be well maintained. We were treated to a special breakfast, and the food was good. We had a thorough tour. There were outdoor spaces, and they looked well-maintained and well-supplied with outdoor furniture."

"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."

"We looked at Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley. The tour was excellent. We had dinner there with some residents, and we liked it. The staff who gave the tour was extremely knowledgeable about the facility. The apartments looked appropriately spacious. The dining area was attractive, and the food was tasty. The facility seemed well maintained."

"I liked everything about Fountain View at Logan Square. The location was fantastic. They have a parking garage. The rooms were a nice size. They had a washer and dryer in the room. The rent was a little expensive, but the facilities were nice and clean. The person who took us around was wonderful. He knew his business. A couple of the other people we met were very good. I liked Fountain View. The food looked very appetizing. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and they seemed to know the people that they passed in the hallway. They were friendly, and they knew about other facilities. They tell you, "You should try this one," or "Did you go there?" The atmosphere was very nice. Some of the residents I saw knew each other."

"We toured Atria Center City. When I walked in it was very clean, and the people were very nice. I was introduced to someone who would show us around. It was me and my aide. He took us all over the place. It's a large place, and everything is nice and beautiful. They told me that if I got a place there my sister would be on the third floor. They had two units, and one was very large. They had a bed there. The only thing that was missing in that unit was a chair. It had a microwave, cooking stove, refrigerator, and lots of closet space. The other room was smaller, but higher than the one I chose for my sister. He said it was seven hundred and seven a month, but the one that I chose for my sister was four something a month, but due to the fact that my sister needs special care, that would be an extra three thousand, he said, and I couldn't afford it."
