Independent Living Communities in Voorhees, NJ

"Everybody is very friendly at Woodbury Mews. They have many services. They take you shopping, they take you on trips, they have first run movies, and they have entertainment. Everything is fine except there's a railroad train that runs right in front of the building. It's a nice location and there are a lot of places to go and do things. I go to a church that is two blocks away, so that's not a problem. Their food is delicious. They serve three meals a day. The breakfast is eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, and hotcakes. They have veal parm at night, chicken parm, and all kinds of seafood. I've eaten there about four times already because a lady that I go to church with plays the piano there twice a month for the seniors. I've been there four or five times and have eaten there. The food is delicious. I haven't seen anything negative in the place. The facility is excellent."

"I toured Fountain View at Logan Square. The community was beautiful. My brother loved it. We loved the atmosphere, the restaurants, the library, the entrance, and how well they treated us when we came there. Even the guy that gave us the tour guide was wonderful. The nurse who came and did his assessment was very pleasant and very kind. However, we were not able to afford it. I thought that we would be able to get the room because I was going to financially help him. However, the money had to be in his account, so he was denied because he didn't have enough income coming in. The staff was wonderful with the tour, but when he set us up for the medical doctor, he gave the impression that my brother could get the studio because it was cheaper, and then by the time we came back, he told me the studio was $4,600. The upkeep was very nice, except they were still under construction, so it was a little messy. However, the rooms I saw that were already ready were very nice."

"Atria Center City is excellent, the rooms were absolutely gorgeous, and if I had the money, I would move there in a jiffy. The monthly rent is too high. It looked like they had a pretty full social agenda there. The dining area and the food are excellent, and I loved the location. If you're a cultural and social person it's an excellent place to be."

"Deer Meadows is beautiful, and my mother-in-law seems to like it. The price is right for what she wanted. She has an efficiency 1-bedroom with a bath and a little tiny sitting room. They appeared to be fine and had a lot of activities like ceramics and Bingo, you could have animals there, you could have parking if you have a car, and the dining rooms were lit and beautiful. "

"The Philadelphia Protestant Home was amazing. I guess the facility was amazing. The person who gave me the tour was very professional, very uplifting. The facility top to bottom, is just amazing from the residents giving input in saying hello as I'm walking in. Just the activities, overall it is exactly what I would feel comfortable with my mother being in their hands. I think it was friendly, with huge activities, and libraries, and I feel like that is one of the best facilities. As of right now, that is my number one choice. I got into the mid-level and the suite, a very nice-sized room. There are electronics which come with it and a refrigerator that also comes with it, the bathrooms are very accessible, very safe, and a nice, spacious size for one to live and be comfortable. It's like having an efficiency apartment. This place has a recreational room. It has a fitness room. I got to see the library as well as where they do the arts and crafts. They have a salon there. I got to meet the lady who does the residents. Overall, I would say, from just having an interaction with everybody, it was a very positive atmosphere, and I would recommend it."

"I visited Wesley Enhanced Living Pennypack Park. They need to improve on the down payment. It's a very nice place. The staff seemed to be helpful. It does meet what I'm looking for. I looked at a one-bedroom apartment."

"I am a musician who enterains at this facility. I have found the caregivers to be consciounce and caring to the residents. They truly care about them. The facility is clean and pleasant. I am impressed with the way the staff is truly concerned about the residents' welfare. I would recommend this facility for a loved one. "

"My sister is at McCallum LLC. It is near our home. The room is fine. My sister likes it too. She has her own bathroom. So far, since she has been there, she has been in the room by herself, but there is a room for one other person. I absolutely recommend this facility. It is a nice community. It is quiet. My sister likes it. "

"Legacy Gardens of Bristol is very nice. There's only 26 tenants in the whole place, so you know your residents are getting cared for because there's only a few people. So the ratio is awesome. They're very nice, I like them a lot, and I would highly recommend it. I love the staff, they're awesome. They're very nice, caring, and helpful. It's an awesome place, they take excellent care of my mother-in-law, and she seems happy there. So it's a win-win situation. I haven't eaten there, but she says that the food is good. It's clean, it's nice, even her hair and nails are neat. They have plenty of activities and stuff for them to do. They have movies, game nights, bingo, and they have music. You get a lot of value for the money and it's affordable. So it's definitely worth it. It's excellent care."

"Sunrise of Abington was nice and very clean. The guy walking us around was nice, too. The rooms would have been fine, but they were just not quite as nice as the other facility we went to. They have very limited rooms with any kind of porch or outdoor patio. They all have joint outdoor space, but we wanted more of a private space. It was very clean though and they had a big community room where everybody could meet. Another problem was the location itself, which might be great for some people, but it was not for us."

"Juniper Village at Bucks County was nice, and the inside looked lovely. Each apartment had a screened patio with a lovely view. There were trees everywhere. I have a small dog, so they said I could have an apartment on the first floor to let the dog out on the patio. It seemed very nice. The kitchen was nice, and the surroundings were lovely. They're going to redo my bathroom because I want a roll-in shower. The staff member who toured me around was great. She was very knowledgeable and very caring, and I was very comfortable talking to her. The dining room was very nice and had restaurant seating and restaurant-quality food."

"Springfield Senior Living was nice and the staff was friendly. The apartments were spacious. I saw the library, beauty/barbershop, and the staff who toured us was good. Ms. Lewis tried the food, and she said it was good."

"My mom is at Chestnut Ridge, and they have been taking care of her very well. She is in a nice room, but sometimes when I visit her there it doesn’t smell good as she is a little incontinet. As far as her medications and meals, they do stay on top of those things."
