Independent Living Communities in Harleysville, PA

"It seemed like a caring place with plenty of activities. The staff was very nice. We toured the entire facility and saw more than one room. "

"The place is beautiful, very nice amenities. The woman at the front desk is so nice and helpful, if you ask her where do you think my loved one she pretty much knows exactly where she is. Food is excellent and friendly staff waiters. If you have a loved one looking for assisted living/ memory care this is the place your looking for."

"I visited the independent living community of Holiday Walnut Woods in Boyertown. What I like best about it is that it was very clean. The thing I liked least was that they didn't have stoves in the independent living quarters. Other than that, the staff was great, and the place was pet-friendly, which I loved. It is very clean and very lovely. If I were to be ready to go into an independent living center, I would choose this one."

"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."

"I toured Echo Lake. The staff was attentive and willing to talk about my friend's needs and discuss some changes that we recommended. It was a lovely place. It was very open and welcoming. They did provide the chopped diet that she needed. It's a beautiful facility. They have exercise plans and physical therapy."

"I have chosen Springfield Senior Living for my father. The rooms are good-sized and pretty spacious. My father is in memory care, so they have sections that you have to go through a door, and you need a code in order to go through that door. The Alzheimer's patients can't go beyond that door because they won't remember their code. I thought that was pretty cool. For the elevators, you need codes and stuff, too. It's a very, very clean place. The memory care had their own dining room. The staff members are very nice, very helpful, and very informative. I asked all kinds of questions, and they were very quick to answer the questions and didn't hesitate. It is a private place. I didn't see any activities, but my father said they do activities. They have a paper of what they do daily. As for the value for the money, I'm definitely getting the worth of it. They get three meals a day, the activities, and the care that he needs. It's helpful for me."

"My family member lives here and loves it. They are willing to talk to her and food is great."

"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."

"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 visited the independent living community of Merrill Gardens at West Chester. The people were wonderful. The tour guide was absolutely fabulous. She clearly knew every resident that we passed. She knew them by name and was able to say hi to them. The residents that I met were also very nice. I will go back there again for a happy hour. They are all really excellent. They are a smaller facility, and you can tell the vibration there is very different. I liked the staff members that I met, and I enjoyed talking with the residents. The rooms are very nice, very clean, and they offer more than the other facility I have also visited. While that place gives you a meal a day, this place has their casual restaurant open all day. The only thing I found that I wasn't crazy about was their dinner times, but they're working to try and extend their hours. Their dinner, I believe, is from 4:30 until 6:30, and that's way too early for me. I wasn't able to eat any, but looking at the menus, the food looked very good."

"My mom will be moving into The Terrace at Phoebe Allentown. We chose it because of the cost structure and the way they do it. The monthly fees are affordable. They have a large upfront payment, but we could manage that. They have a charitable program also, so if you run out of money they take over. The other reason for choosing Phoebe is they offer independent living all the way through nursing home. They have a continuum of care available. As you need more help, they have that there, and you don't have to go looking again. I had very clear communication with the staff, and they're very helpful with all the questions that we have."

"I'm leaning towards Phoebe Allentown. They were very, very nice, I filled up all the applications, gave them the documents they wanted. The apartments were much smaller than what I have here. They have transportation, one meal a day, socialization and activities, and in their continuing care they have assisted living down the street and nursing home. It was clean and it is maintained, there's no problem there. The staff was very wonderful."
