"It was a very nice, one-level facility with excellent food. The staff and rooms were very nice. It was the first place that we saw, and my mother felt it was just overwhelming for her. You could do the laundry there. There was a pool table and activities. "

"The Heritage of Green Hills was my favorite. They had a pool, and I thought that was wonderful. The only thing though, was you had to pay an upfront fee of a lot of money, several thousand dollars. They had outdoor areas that were very nice. They have arts and crafts, and swimming, and exercises, and dancing. The facility was wonderful."

"We visited Phoebe Berks together with my parents in-law. It is such an amazing place! The place is very large and the grounds were extremely well kept. The entire complex is enclosed. If anyone would go live there they would not have to go outside to go anywhere. Everything is enclosed. They have walkways that connect each building to another. The residents don't have to go outside unless they want to. They have a gift shop inside the area. There's a beauty shop, a fitness center, a pool, a chapel with any religious ceremony that you can think of, activity rooms, a rehab . They have a multitude of activities. You name it, they have it. They just opened up a new outside courtyard for different ball games and they have places to sit. This place is really amazing. We knew that the place is really nice but it's different if you really come and tour the place. They have a wide variety of apartments with all different sizes. They have apartments with patios, apartments with balconies, or apartments that don't have that access. Every floor that has at least 10 apartments and there is a laundry facility. If you can't have one inside your apartment you can go to that laundry facility with no charge. They have washers and dryers there that the you can use anytime of the day. Everybody is well taken care of. The lady who took us around she knew everybody by name. I mean, wow that's a lot of people to know by name. They knew her and everybody there seemed happy and pleasant. Believe it or not, the prices there are reasonable given all these amenities. They do have a buy-in with this place. Some other facilities don't have a buy-in. The one thing that's good about Phoebe Berks is that the buy-in is refundable. You can actually buy in to cottages like a single family home and you can just progress from one section to another as you need it. You could go from a cottage to independent living apartment. You can go from that to personal care. You can go from personal care to skilled. It is kinda a large outlay of money to begin with but the apartments are very reasonable. "

"Atrium of Allentown was very up-to-date and extremely stylish. It was so nice. We're like, "Wow, I would live here." The rooms were spacious. The bathrooms were like out of a hotel. They were beautiful. Price-wise, they might have been less than the others. They were right in there in the price range that we were trying to spend, which was right around $6000 a month. We did not eat their food, but we saw their food and we saw their dining room, which was set up nice, and there were stations that they could go to where they have snacks and drinks put out and stuff like that. We wanted that place so bad that they went and did a second assessment on my dad, which I thought was super nice. They said, "Let's go back again and just check again." Unfortunately, they just couldn't take care of him. They have a big room where they do activities, and it was nice. There's a big TV up there. They had courtyards they could go into. They had a common area with a TV and seating. They had a room upstairs and it almost reminded me of a banquet room. They had an elevator, and they play games and they have movie night up there. They had a lot of activities for the people. Everything was brand new and you could just tell because all the rooms had that gray flooring. You could just tell everything's very modern. Even the lady who was helping me joked, "If you're looking for glitz and glamor, Atrium is the place.""

"Heather Glen is a beautiful, nicely appointed facility-- but even more significant is the professionalism, enthusiasm, and warmth of everyone working there including the administrator, the marketing director, the nurse, the activities coordinator, the med techs, and the caretakers. I appreciate the individual care and attention they give to my sister. It's impressive the effort all made to learn my sister's needs and interests. We are so happy that Heather Glen is now open. My family and I strongly recommend it!"

"It was very hard to place my mother into a home but after visiting Arden Courts I was reassured this was the best place for her to be . Very loving and caring caregivers. It took a few weeks, but then my mother became adapted. I finally be relaxed that she was safe and I didnt have to worry. I knew that this would be my mothers new home. "

"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 interacted with in the course of our tour. It was a really nice experience. We were only allowed on the first floor because of COVID, but it seemed very nice, and it was absolutely fine. She showed me where there's these little lounges, and that was great, and an outdoor sitting area that would seem really pretty in the springtime. I had very favorable impressions. They do not have a swimming pool, but they have a garden/patio."

"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 was very gracious. One by one, as they all finished lunch and left, they all came over and said hi. Some of them sat down to talk to us for 20 minutes. It was just a very friendly, very family feeling community. The people that took us through were very patient and very encouraging, but not at all pushy."

"My 98 year old mother recently moved to Country Meadows. We have been very pleased with the care that she is receiving. The transition was much easier than we anticipated. Country Meadows allowed us to move some of my mothers furniture into her new room and that made it seem very much like home. My mother enjoys the meals and is participating in activities. We appreciate the inviting look of the interior of the facility which further enhances the comforting arrangement. The staff has been very helpful. "

Dad has a studio apartment with a little kitchenette, a private bathroom, dressers, a recliner, and a TV. The staff is great. They listen to what you have to say and they are all very helpful. They have movie nights and bingo, and a lot more other activities. They always have something going on."

"It was awesome. They were wonderful. My mother was there for years. She was gone in 2016, but I went back over there in December, when I was searching for my mother-in-law. They had excellent staff. The rooms were nice, and they're bigger than the others. I can't say if they're as good with the activities as they used to be, but they were excellent with that. The same woman is still there, so I'm assuming they're still good. The place is not quite as big and grandiose as the other facility I visited, but it is a beautiful sight still. It's even a little cozier, a little homier, and maybe a little bit older too, but not old-fashioned. This one is just a very nice facility. Me and my children used to be a part of their activities. We'd go in with a youth group I had going on. We would have the kids come in and entertain the residents all the time, like tap dancing, singing, and all kinds of stuff. It was so much fun. They had all kinds of people in there all the time, and all kinds of things to play."

"My sister is at the Lutheran Home at Topton. It's the most spectacular care facility I have ever seen in my entire life. It's immaculate. The staff is abundant and caring. It's expensive but worth every penny. Everything about it is amazing and didn't have the slightest odor. I was just there two weeks ago. They have a five-star approval from the State of Pennsylvania. The size of the rooms is fine. They have numerous dining rooms and cafes for guests to eat. I ate in one, and the food was very good. It's fairly standard for every taste, like there was nothing really spicy or really bland; it's just right. They have activities like bingo and concerts, but nothing that she can participate in. "

"Garden Spot Village looked top-notch. We had lunch there. It was very nice and very updated. It was impressive. It was like a nice restaurant. I saw their gym, their walk-in sit down restaurant, and their Starbucks. I was only there for maybe an hour and a half. The overall experience was very pleasant, and we ended up buying a house there."
