The Best Independent Living Communities in Montgomery County, PA

"I had an in-person tour of Traditions of Lansdale. I love the place. It was beautiful. It didn't smell. It was a very nice place, but I couldn't afford it. The staff members were very friendly. They all greeted me when I took the tour. The facility is very spacious and very clean. They had outside places where you could go and a beauty salon. I don't remember all the amenities, but there were quite a few."

"Sunrise of Abington was fine, and the staff was fine. It appeared as though when we found out that we didn’t have the income to support my mom for the service in moving in that they were not as interested and being helpful to me. The rooms were of nice size and clean, and the food was good. The dining room has a round table with 7 people per table I want to say; it was an ordinary dining area. They must follow up even after they find out what the person’s income is to see if they can be helpful in any other way or take a look at some options maybe to help providing the income or to be able to point them somewhere else that they can get some services. There are a lot of ways that they can still provide help if the person doesn’t have income at that time. "

"We looked at Wesley Enhanced Living. The apartments were beautiful, the furnishings and accommodations were nice, and they had planned trips and scheduled activities. The dining area was nice, with big windows."

"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."

"Wesley is elegant and very clean. The lobby area is sunny and bright, it invites you to come and sit for a while. The fireplace is a cozy addition. Wesley Upper Moreland is a very nice place. The staff are friendly and attentive. They offered one and two-bedroom units. Each apartment has its own washer & dryer tucked away and out of site, and a nice size full kitchen. There is a library and exercise area. Transportation is offered daily to the grocery store, hairdressers and drug stores. It is a very friendly community that is in an ideal area. There is a nice selection of activities for the residents. "

"The staff were very nice at Quadrangle. They have a selection of different styles; they have one-bedroom, they have one-bedroom plus den, and they have two bedrooms. "

"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."

"We toured Arbour Square of Harleysville. It's a very nice community, and I'm still considering it. The people seemed very nice, and the facilities were nice. I was looking for independent living. They have an indoor swimming pool, they have exercises there, and an exercise room. The sales person was excellent and very helpful."

"The Village at Perkiomen had everything I thought my brother needed. He has a small private room, and it's close to home. They're very friendly, very warm, and very caring, and it's very comfortable. The food is delicious. They had singers and a small band coming in. He's only been there a couple of days, so I can't really relate completely, 100%, but it seemed like they have a lot of things going on. It's very expensive, but I would think it's worth the caring of your loved ones."

"I thought Wesley was very nice. They remodeled the whole place since I had visited it years ago when the facility and orientation were much different. There were a couple of things that were very nice, like dining room and menu. One meal a day was included, but they also had a nice snack bar that you could use 24 hours a day, I think. The rooms were nice and quite adequate. "

"The physical plant is well maintained. The decor is rich and elegant. The nursing staff and administration are well trained and caring. The residents are treated with respect. The facility doesn't have the institutional feel that many others have. The place really felt like your own home. They are equipped to provide a wide range of care based on the needs of the individual resident. "

"Wesley Enhanced Living Doylestown is a fantastic experience. My in-laws are very happy there. The people are very nice, professional, and were able to work with us very quickly. I have nothing but good things to say about the place. The head of nursing gave us a very nice tour on a Sunday, whereas at other places they wouldn't even talk to us until Monday, and we needed to move very quickly. One of the residents said that it's like living on a cruise ship but on land, which is a really nice compliment. I like the atmosphere and that it doesn't smell or stink. The apartments and studios are laid out really well. My in-laws love the food."

"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 was a very nice place. The room was beautiful. It was very nice, comfortable, spacious, and clean. The setup was very nice. The furniture and the decorations were nice. The staff that gave me the tour called me again to try to help me get my brother to move in there."
