Communities in Lansdale, PA

"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 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. "

"Echo Lake was the only one who took my stepmother. I went through some tours with the other places, but then at the last minute they just turned us down. She has a certain condition and Echo Lake had no problems taking her. They treat her like any other resident and the place is just absolutely beautiful. They are very attentive to all her needs because she has extra needs and the food's good. Just a very positive atmosphere and she's thriving there. It's a studio that we picked for her. They supply a bed, an end table, a lamp, a comfy chair, a pretty big bathroom with a shower that she can just wheel her wheelchair into, a kitchenette with a full size refrigerator, microwave, counter space, and upper and lower cabinets. The staff is extremely friendly. They are willing to do anything and they are not rushed. Like they're not trying to hurry you up to go do something else. They genuinely care about the individual and you can see it in everything they do. They seem very educated in what they're doing as well. She has three meals a day, but if she wanted to eat six times, she could. They've got a ton of activities throughout the day every day, including weekends. They do exercises twice a day, they play games, they do readings, puzzle time, bingo, and they have this big calendar in the assisted living and independent living, but you can go to either area. It doesn't matter if you're assisted living or not."

"Twining Village seemed nice, and it's pretty. The apartments were a little small, but everyone was friendly. There's no problem with us there. "

"I toured Philadelphia Protestant Home. The staff was very courteous. They have great facilities. They have a gym. They have all kinds of things for seniors there. But the cost factor came in. It came into play with me. The place was very large. I have no problem with the place. It's just the financial outlay would be drastic for me and I couldn't do it."

"After two weeks in the hospital my mom developed skin breakdown. When we moved her to Manatawny Manor for her rehab, she was there for two months and she never had a skin breakdown. They were obviously taking good care of her needs so that she wouldn't have a skin breakdown. I thought they really took excellent care of my mother and I was pleased with that. "

"The staff at Walnut Woods was very nice. They treated us to lunch and they were very accommodating. The food was very good. The menu was very good, and there was quite a number of selections. The dining room was nicely appointed. The rooms were pretty nice, very modern, clean, and carpeted. It wasn’t large, but that’s OK. They seemed to have quite a lot of activities. "

"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 father is at Attleboro. It is very nice. The staff is very good. He has a bedroom, a bath, a living room, and a small galley kitchen. My father likes the food. Their dining room is set up like a restaurant style. It seems like they have something going on almost every hour there. While it is topnotch, it is just too far away from me. It looks very nice. Everyone is professional. "

"Lots of exciting renovations and upgrades underway at this independent living community in the center of Philadelphia. We are so close to everything the city has to offer but also have great entertainment and dining options available too. Love living at Fountain View."

"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."

"We have our name on a wait list at Chestnut Ridge at Rodale. We were welcomed. It was nice that we ran into people that we already knew. They have a lovely pool. One of the biggest positives about Chestnut Ridge is that everything is in one building. You don't have to go outside to eat or anything like that. There are many outdoor activities, like walking paths. You can walk into town on a nice path. They have gardens. We're not going to go into anything less than 1200 square feet, so they were all around 1400 square feet. It has an open concept, and nearly every room has a balcony. No problem with parking. If you want to be undercover, you'd have to pay extra for that. We did eat lunch there, and that was great. It's a fairly new facility. Compared to some of the others who have really established procedures and all that, Chestnut Ridge came across like a new facility, with people kind of learning their jobs and that kind of thing."

"Arbour Square at West Chester's rooms was nice, new, and clean, but the rooms were too small. The staff seemed fine."

"We were very fortunate to have our Mother live at Legacy Gardens. The care and attention she received was wonderful. My Mother thought of Legacy as her home. Very warm and the care was exceptional. "
