The Best Memory Care Communities in Bucks County, PA

"We chose Oxford Crossing because of where it is located. It's a beautiful place. We're in a one-bedroom with a nice amount of space because we have some large pieces of furniture. The staff was great, and they showed us around. The food's very good. The upkeep is spotless. We haven't participated yet in many things, but they do offer different things to do. Right now we're sitting outside, there's a big overhang in the front. So it's nice. When you walk in the lobby, it's classy looking. You feel like you're walking into a fine hotel. That's what it looks like."

"Commonwealth Senior Living at Willow Grove had the homiest atmosphere of any of the places I visited. It also is the least expensive of any of them. It has no outdoor facilities or campus, but it has a beautiful dining room overlooking a pond and a nice view of the outside. It just didn't appeal to me. The hallways were narrow, but I was very impressed by their hominess. People who were living there were, "Oh, hello. How are you?" It's a small facility, which can have its drawbacks, but it can also have its pluses. It's not as desirable as the others. It uses hydroponics to grow their own food. They had a big refrigerator kind of thing and they showed us how they're able to grow lettuce and spinach and pick from that all the time, so that on the health spectrum, it would rate highly, particularly with today's emphasis on eating fresh. That is one of their big things, but they wouldn't have the activities and they don't have a live-in doctor or medical center."

"My mother moved to The Solana Doylestown and we're pretty happy with it. It's not hospital-like, it's more apartment living but with memory care. Her room has two separate areas, the living room, and the bedroom, then there's a little kitchen area and a separate bathroom. It's small but it's got different areas like an apartment. I feel like they can still up their game with their food selection for memory care. They've got activities like exercise classes, arts and crafts, and a happy hour."

"I'm moving into Crescent Fields at Huntingdon Valley. I love it, and it's the most reasonable one out of all of them. You only pay $3,000 to put a down payment, and then you pay $6,000 a month for a two-bedroom. They only had two-bedrooms left, and I got one. It's a nice size, and it's beautiful. Everything is really nice, so I'm very happy. Everything is included. They have three meals a day, they have entertainment, they have a movie theater, they have a private dining room, and they do trips. I had lunch there. I can't say it was the best, but it's OK. Nevertheless, they were very courteous and very caring to all their people. I don't really know any of the staff members other than the salespeople and the girls at the front desk, but the kitchen people were very, very sweet. They're very pleasant, very cheerful, very nice, and willing to help you. Everything was immaculate, too."

"I feel that my wife , having been at Rittenhouse Village for nearly two years now , is being well cared for. Improvements in care , diet , and overall environment give me peace of mind when I am not there with her. I visit most days and , thankfully , have not had any unpleasant surprises. Special thanks to the management , nursing staff , kitchen staff , and all those others who have been diligent and thoughtful in their daily tasks. Keep up the good work ! God will reward you. Sincerely, Frank Johnson "

"I went to Juniper Village at Bucks County and I was greeted properly. They've got very nice people. The place was clean. They showed us several apartments, several of the crafts that they were doing, the restaurant, and the menu. Everything was great. They have studios, one bedrooms, and two bedrooms. The staff during the tour was very nice. They have a church on the premises. The buy-in was cheap. We tried to set up several luncheons, but we weren't able to do that."

"We just toured the Sunrise of Lower Makefield's assisted living. The place is beautiful and the staff is very friendly. The food was awesome, too. They were kind enough to give my parents lunch to try out. The person who assisted us answered all our questions and did not rush. She spoke to my parents and not just to me. She explained everything and showed us everything, and she took her time. The people serving lunch, after they had taken the orders, would keep coming to ask if they could get you anything and if the food was okay. It was so nice. It's very close to my house so I feel more comfortable, and the place is so friendly. The patients were kind and friendly to my parents, and they didn't even know they were coming. They're all laughing and joking with them. My parents and I tried the food. The food is not prepared and shipped there because they have cooks who cook the food there daily. There are four different cooks, and they cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I had chicken noodle soup and it's homemade, not out of the can. I also had a sandwich and a cup of tea. They even asked if I wanted dessert. They have plenty of juices, coffee, and tea. They even have beer and wine. My father asked if it was just for holidays and the lady there said no. She said that if you wanted to have a glass of wine after your meal, you could have it, and my father did. The apartment is beautiful when you walk in. There were two different types of rooms that we saw. They have three room types, but we only saw the two. It's an L-shaped room and when you walk to your left, there's a huge area where you can have a TV, maybe two recliners, and a table. To the right is a closet and a kitchenette with cabinets and a refrigerator. There's a huge bathroom where you can wheel in and it has all the handrails, benches in the shower, and a heat lamp in the ceiling so they won't be cold. The room has a great big bay window that overlooks a farm area on one side and the main street on the other. It's very pretty, and the landscape is beautiful. I can't wait to see it in the springtime. If one room has two people, they would offer two beds, two dressers, two nightstands, and a table and lamp. It's a very spacious and beautiful room. Even the hallways have artwork all over and how they have decorated it is fabulous. It's a very happy place where everybody's greeting everybody. Even the patients greet the staff. We saw this one lady walking fast with her walker to go to the activity. She was telling the other patients to come so they could get a good seat. They have a bus that takes them out for outings. They can take them to the store or to whatever restaurant in the area. It's a shuttle bus that has a lift so if you're in a wheelchair, you can still go. They said it's there twice a week. They also have a salon for them to get their hair and nails done."

"It was fabulous. We were going there, but Dad didn't qualify. They're wonderful. They were attentive. They were terrific. The rooms were light, airy, modern, and comfortable. The dining area was beautiful, but we did not experience the food. They have everything. The only thing they didn't have was a pool."

"The staff is very responsive, from administrators to nurses, activities' staff and caregivers. Most staff have been there for years, there is not much turnover. Rooms are of different sizes and are comfortable and it's easy to personalize them to make your loved one feel at home. Plenty of activities and areas for residents to move around, both indoors and outdoors. There are courtyards and a long walking path outside for residents to use safely. Most importantly, the caregivers, nurses and other staff genuinely care for your loved one, in my case my 92 year old husband. And he was not an easy person to deal with. He was stubborn, upset at not being back at home and angry in the beginning. Somehow Arden made it work, they gave him excellent care, acclimated him to his new surroundings and even brought a smile to his face. And they were so wonderful to me, always keeping in touch and brightening my spirits as well."

"We toured Sunrise of Abington. I like the intimacy of the places. It's not very large and seems very friendly, and I love the setup of the rooms. They're beautiful. The staff was very informative. For any question we asked, they had a good answer for it. It was a clean building and well-kept. The size of the room is good for me."

"My tour at Sunrise of Dresher was useful. It was nice and clean. The staff was wonderful and they gave me a good tour. I think it was cost-effective so I'm on the right track. I wasn't able to try the food but the menu looks good, and I could see that they have good menu options. They had bingo, puzzles, and stuff. It seems like there are a lot of things for them to do and a lot of activities. I looked at both memory care and assisted living."

"I toured Sunrise of North Wales. They've been very nice. The place is very clean. It's a newer facility around the area, which is nice. It's a little smaller, so the people there care more for everybody there. The rooms were very spacious."

"I toured the Deer Meadows Retirement Community. It was accommodating. It was comfortable, and the people there seemed very happy to be there. It was pretty clean. It was decent, like I walked into the dining room, I was impressed. I have multiple sclerosis, so I used a rollator. They were very accommodating with letting me in and helping to find someone to help push me around. The dining room was beautiful. It's nice. I love the dining room. I saw the mailbox and activity room. They had a little foyer when you came in, and there's a lot of presents sitting there."
