Independent Living Communities in King Of Prussia, PA

"Brittany Manor didn't provide respite care services. Going in there, it was more for people who are mentally challenged. Before I went in, there was a resident already asking me for money while I was sitting in my car, and then when I went in, there was another resident who was asking me for money, and food, and whatever I had in my hand. The person who walked me around was a five. My experience trying to confirm that I had a tour was a one or a zero. I called to confirm, and no one seemed to be able to confirm with me that they were aware that I was coming. They said they would get back to me, and no one ever got back to me, so I just wound up showing up, and the person who gave me the tour was very friendly. However, she wasn't necessarily prepared to provide a tour. The place was very disheveled. Whoever owned the place before, that signage was still up there. The facility smelled as soon as I got in the door. The staff pretty much mentioned this is for people who have mental disabilities. The room I saw wasn't dirty. It's just that everything looked old. Everything didn't look like it was maintained properly. That's not a place I would recommend for anybody. It didn't seem like the patients were even well taken care of. The people that I talked to on the phone were not professional in my book, and telling me that you're going to get back to me, and then you still don't get back, that was very concerning."

"My mother stayed at St. Mary Center for Rehabilitation & Healthcare for a little while. They were wonderful and very accommodating. She was there for two weeks for subacute rehab. They had lovely, accommodating staff. I have nothing negative to say about them. She wasn't happy with the whole thing though. She was in a single room by herself and it was OK. COVID is going on, but they did the best they could under the circumstances. If somebody had an outbreak, they cut down people to visit. She was in a subacute rehab, so it was like a hospital room. She had her own private room and it was up by the nurses' station because she's a fall risk, so it was noisy, but she needed that. It was an OK place. It wasn't a 5-star hotel, but for what it was, it was good. It was a Catholic facility, so they had a beautiful chapel. It was really good for pastoral care, which I thought she would like because she's very religious. That was a wonderful thing. They had mass, and they had access to religious counseling to help you get through whatever you're getting through. That was a nice asset. The staff was wonderful. I looked at other places and I picked this one because they have a chapel that was beautiful and their pastoral care. Other facilities were more modern and had more activities, but she's 90, so we picked this because of the religious piece of it, and it was wonderful for what we were looking for. It was great."

"Arbour Square at West Chester was very nice, but we thought it was a little too fancy and more expensive. The interior was very nice. The rooms were very nice. There were apartments and studios. They had a movie room, lots of rooms for socializing and a nice dining room. The staff was very good."

"I moved into Hudson Estates. I chose it because they didn't have any entrance fees and they were very cooperative on how much money was due at the beginning. It's new and I'm very comfortable. Everybody is very cooperative, very helpful, very nice, and very friendly. The rent includes 3 meals, but there are some days when the food is not so good. There's a good selection of activities and there's always something to do. I enjoyed the book club that I went to."

"I am a resident of Arbor Square of Harleysville. It includes everything. It includes meals. It includes Wi-Fi and cable. They have a hair salon. They have a gym, a theater, and a shuttle bus that will take you on Mondays and Tuesdays to any kind of doctor. On Wednesdays, they go to Walmart or the grocery store next door, and then on Fridays like Kohl's or the Dollar Store. I don't cook, so they have a microwave. We have a mini refrigerator, a sink, a countertop, and some cabinets. They do a great job. The food is great. Every two weeks, we have maid service. The staff we have are very caring and they go the extra mile to help us when we need help. The chef cooks well. They keep the facility clean. They have a lot of events that we go to. We play bingo here, which is great. They have a lot of entertainment, like people coming in. They might have karaoke, educational like we have a guy that is histological about Washington. He'll be coming today. So they have a lot of entertainment. For the value, it is worth it if you can afford it."

"I visited Paradise Manor. They were very accommodating and very knowledgeable. The place was clean. It seemed to have everything there that was needed, and it's close to where I live. I believe it's like $1,500 a month. I didn't see many activities. I basically just saw the amenities. It's more of a studio-type environment."

"My friend was a resident of Fountain View at Logan Square. They do get you up and around and they don't want the patients to be laying in the bed all the time, and I thought that was very good. The problem is, it's a very good facility, but it's out of a lot of people's reach. I did look at their apartments and it was attached to the rehab center, which I felt was great, but it was pretty expensive. I'm sure there are ways of working it out. I did speak to the person who was in charge of social work there, and she was pretty helpful. It was very nice. They have group sessions, which I felt were very good because she was able to socialize. It was a nice facility. It was just very expensive. I thought this one was one of the nicer ones, mainly because it was also an apartment. They kept it up very nicely. The apartments were very nice, everything seemed to be running very well, and the patient care was very good. Their staff was very good."

"It seemed very nice. Actually, I liked that one better than the other place we visited. They did show us the rooms, and it was very clean. I didn’t deal with too many of the staff people. They all seemed to be nice, and doing their job. "

"The staff seems nice and pleasant, and I feel that it is the right location and right facility for my uncle. We've tried the food and it was great! My uncle's room is fine and he's happy when he moved in. "

"I went to Ivy Creek Gracious Retirement. The lady showed me around. We had a nice lunch. They have everything there you could want. They have a variety of apartments, different styles of apartments, one-bedroom, or just a studio apartment. So there is variety there, lots of activities. And it's close to everything. I also like that you don't have to put a lot of money down. The person who gave the tour was wonderful. She was nice. Even the residents were nice. They all said hello to me."

"The Philadelphia Protestant Home was nice inside, and they offered everything, but they were a little more expensive. The staff who showed me around was nice and knowledgeable. I saw one room and it was nice. The whole facility was very nice."

"I had nothing but a positive experience with Villa at Saint Martha's. My grandmother was a resident there for a year. She had memory loss, so she resided in a high security wing with others that had memory loss as well. The staff was extremely patient with her and my grandmother came to grow quite affectionate towards some of them. She knew that they were her caretakers and truly appreciated it. My grandmother had her own room, which we were allowed to decorate with things from her home to make her feel at ease. There were daily activities planned each week and my grandmother was able to attend mass every Sunday. Every time I went to visit, the staff would welcome me warmly and let me know how she was doing that day. The facility was extremely clean and the residents all seemed well taken care of. I would recommend Saint Martha's for those looking to place a loved one in assisted living. "

"Ivy Gables was very nice. The person that I had contact with was lovely and very caring. She wanted to make sure it was the right match for my mom. She went out of her way completely. It's just like home. But it was little overpriced for us right now. I was there during lunch, and the food smelled good. I saw people in activities. They seemed very happy. It's a very small place, but it was very personal. They have a lovely garden area. The place was lovely. They also handed me a box of homemade cookies. It was very quaint, and it was very nice."

"We had a wonderful visit at Forwood Manor and it was very nice. They lady we spoke to at the sales department was very nice. We went in, toured the facility, had lunch and the food was good. My mom liked it. The atmosphere was also set up like a restaurant and that was nice. The rooms were in very good size, but it was set up like the older style. The kitchen was totally blocked off from the rest of the place. The washer and dryer were down the hallway. My mom was 85 and my mom would be much comfortable with the washer and dryer inside the apartment. However, they offered a lot of stuff too. They offered a lot of activities and there was a pharmacy in there. I thought there was a doctor and that came in so many times a week. I just wasn't where my mom wanted to go, but I would recommend them to others. "
