Independent Living Facilities in Downingtown, Pennsylvania
"I was able to see St. Martha Villa. The lady who conducted the tour was totally lovely. I felt like she really listened, she really wanted to understand the individual's situation, and she had a nice rapport with a couple residents that she interacte..."
"Ashbridge Manor wouldn't be a good place for mom because she's not independent anymore, but it's very elegant. The apartment was very spacious, very clean, and very nice. The staff during the tour was very professional and very good. The food looked ..."
"Freedom Village at Brandywine was beautifully set up. I just loved all the colors and the extra things that they've done in there. The area where the pool table was had nice dark green walls, like you would expect in a pool hall with mahogany chairs...."
"I think Arbour Square is a fairly new facility, only 3 years old. My mother liked it and preferred it because it was smaller. It was much more manageable for walking around or getting around. All the common areas were very nice, and everything was ne..."
"We are choosing Wellington at Hershey's Mill for my mother. It was nicely decorated. It seemed like there were a lot of activities. There were a lot of people around, like the residents were gathering in the common space. We met some of the staff, an..."
"I moved into Friends Home in Kennett, and it's been a very positive experience. It's not real modern, and the building I'm in was built in the early 1800s. Kenneth Square is a lovely small town, and everybody is so nice and welcoming. I'm very please..."
"We visited Ivy Creek Gracious Retirement Living, it was a nice place. Everything is there, the activities, and all the meals are included. The one thing my parents wouldn't like is that they had to be in the dining room for all the meals, they'd want..."
"The Residence at Chadd's Ford was lovely. I had a very thorough tour of the three different apartments in the whole building that we were allowed to tour. The chef sent me home with a pie, and it was delicious, boxed and hot right out of the oven. It..."
"I liked Maris Grove. I have no complaints about it. It was just too far out. I have my children here in the city and they don't want me to go that far out. It was nice. The food was most delicious. They have the amenities, except for cutting young gr..."
"The Watermark at Bellingham had a very courteous staff person who showed us available units. What strikes me the most is the price of what they offer. It was more of an ala carte. For instance, meals are not included but there's a $500 a month vouche..."
"Tel Hai was a very lovely place to be if you can afford it. They are very pricy. The staff was very nice. They help you plan out your move from where you are to where you are going. They help you with the move, and they help with selling off your fur..."
"My husband and I visited Harrison House. We are looking for Independent living for ourselves. I loved the place. It was like a hotel. Each floor was decorated beautifully with antiques. The place was buzzing with activity. Ashley, the woman who..."
"I toured The Hickman for my mom. I saw an independent apartment, but I believe they have independent and assisted kind of mixed together in the same building. I thought that facility was wonderful. Everybody there seemed very warm. The residents who ..."
"Echo Lake had a very small group of people, because it's so new, and they were all very lovely. We had lunch in one of the restaurant areas and there were a lot of people down there eating lunch. My husband and I were all by ourselves and everybody w..."
"I am staying at Traditions. It is an independent living home. It is a fine facility, but they don't do maintenance except outside and we are responsible for house maintenance. The house is spacious enough. There are activities, just about anything yo..."
"I'm at Westminster Place at Parkesburg. It's a very, very lovely apartment. It's a one-bedroom apartment, and I have a lovely bedroom, a large bathroom with a shower, a nice-sized kitchen, a living room, and a nice, bright window with sun coming in a..."
I didn't like St. Martha Villa at all. The facility was kind of older and not upkept very well. They weren't very nice. The apartments were fairly spacious. I didn't see them doing anything except...

I toured St. Martha Villa for my mom. The tour was fine. I got to see a lot of the facility. It looks pretty rundown. I recall walking into a restroom, which was kind of near the dining hall area...
