"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. "

"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. "

"My Mother recently passed away. She was a resident of the Memory Care unit for about three years. The staff is caring and treat residents with dignity and respect. The rooms are nice, the common areas clean and bright. Activities are conducted with the resident level of ability taken into consideration. Family and friends are encouraged to visit anytime. "

"I would recommend Chestnut Knoll to anyone. Our Dad, Pop-Pop, and Pop-Pop-Pop, was a resident at Chestnut Knoll for almost 5 years. It was his choice to move there, but the family agreed. What we saw was a clean, odor-free facility. What we felt was a sense of family. The staff treated Dad and the others as family. Any question or concern we had was addressed. The administrators doors were always open. A new physical therapy program was started and Dad loved it because Medicare would only allow PT for a short time and after he was forced to stop, he would decline. He thrived with the new program with Fox. Chestnut Knoll welcomes the whole family, from children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and grand-dogs, too, to visit and take part in their celebrations. As Dad neared death, we saw the love the staff had for him. We saw it in their eyes, we heard it in their words, and felt it in their actions toward Dad and us. We were never sorry our Dad spent the last years at Chestnut Knoll. It was home for Dad and we were comfortable in visiting him at his home. "

"Keystone Villa at Ephrata is in a community where I live, and it is fantastic. I have friends who live there and they have lived there since the day it opened. They rave about the place. It is just fantastic, but my parents could not afford anything like that. At 100 and 101, they have outlived their money years ago. I would be glad to put them in there, but no. It is a gorgeous community and the staff is phenomenal. The rooms look beautiful, large, very bright and very cheerful. They totally redo the room every time somebody leaves. They have a pub where they have entertainment come in and they have a happy hour there. They have a movie and a puzzle room. It is just like a resort and a wonderful community. It is also downtown Ephrata so residents can walk anywhere. It is an ideal community."

"I went to look at the Atrium in Allentown. They had a nurse. They had a sunroom area with a table that was there. It was kind of more of a home setting. There were cabinets. There were people talking. They had a TV with a sports channel on it, not just some news station that nobody's watching. They took the time to really make it home for them, and they include their memory care patients in the activities if they're able. If they have a movie night, they take the memory care patients to the movie night. Their schedule was exactly the same as what assisted living was. The aides would walk them to the snack area where they would see other people their own age. They weren't shut in. They were included. They actually have a Medicare doctor that's there during the day. They have a movie theater, a beauty parlor, a barbershop, and a big activities area where they had a director that came in. They are one exit. The staff asked questions, like what would be a trigger for my husband. She took all my financial concerns and understood that it was going to be hard for me. They weren't pushy. They were just as concerned for me as they were for the care for my husband."

"Our mom has been a resident of Heather Glen since May 2017. We believe that we selected the best possible place for her. She has made some wonderful friends since moving there. The staff has also been wonderful. She receives hugs and smiles from them all day long. Since the building is broken up into small ares, it's very quiet which also makes it feel more personable. Meal time is great in that you have your choice of seating and a 2 hour time frame for each meal. I highly recommend checking it out for your loved ones."

"The staff at the facility is very friendly and accommodating. This is one of the cleaner facilities that I have been in and they take care of the needs of our Grandfather. They are very willing to do special things for him for special occasions like birthdays and family visits. The rooms are some of the nicer once in the local area, spacious almost like a smaller apartment. Our Grandfather was a little hesitant to go to the facility and worried about meeting new people but we found shortly after he entered the facility that he had already made new friends. The facility also does a lot of outings like taking the residents to baseball games and other events. The food options are also very nice even for someone who doesn't live at the facility. Overall this seems like a very nice place for a resident and it's very nice for someone who is visiting. "

They had a lot of activities. The staff was very nice and very knowledgeable. They had courtyards and patios. They had games, bingo, movies, and trips out to the mall and those types of things."

"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."
