The Best Memory Care Communities in Bucks County, PA

"Sunrise of Lower Makefield is very, very clean. I did not smell any type of urine. Tom was the one who toured me around and he was excellent. I told him that the place almost had a cruise ship vibe. The furniture was not as new, but it was clean and not damaged. The units were great, spacious, and also very clean. Dining area was very nice and very organized. It's a very structured and nice facility, but the pricing was more than what we could afford."

"The director at Arden Courts of Yardley seemed to be willing to take time to answer any questions that I had. She came out to my mother's house, and we went over some things. She actually gave my mother a gift. They went above and beyond to convince me that that was a good place to come. The more affordable room was too small, and it wasn't gonna be convenient. To get a bigger room would have cost too much money. Also, it was in Pennsylvania, so once she spent down, she would have to move out of there."

"Sunrise is very nice, beautiful, and sunny and they offered a deal that we were able to afford. We got an apartment with two bedrooms and bathrooms. The people are very nice and helpful. The residents all looked pretty happy. "

"I toured Viva Senior Living at Dresher. It was good. Everything was excellent. The tour guide was nice. The cafeteria was nice and big. The rooms were nice-sized, big, and looked new. They had a nice bath size for them. I liked the cleanliness, activities, interaction, and personal care with the resident. They have plenty of parking, and the upkeep was excellent."

"I was at Sunrise to see my sister-in-law who was there, but she was only there for a couple of months. When she first went in, she was independent; she took care of her own medications. When she started to have them have her medication, it went up like $15 a day. Then when she had a fall, somebody had to be there when she had a shower to watch her. It went up again about $30 a day. It just went up to some outrageous prices. It's like a suite-like type room. The room was spacious with a microwave. They had a restaurant downstairs. She could eat there, or she could go out to eat. I think they had bus trips to go out. "

"My parents moved into Sunrise of North Wales. Overall, it has been a positive experience. They have a very nice one-bedroom apartment. They try to keep the residents active and engaged. Right now, they are lacking in staff. There doesn't seem to be enough staffing, which is a concern. The food choices have been an issue. They try to do different things with the residents every day, like game playing, painting, crafts, and entertainment. They have a bus on the premises that can take them out once a week. Somebody comes in to do their hair once a week. They have a library."

"My wife moved into Wyncote Place. It was the best all-around package. As with so many of them, you have a base price and then you have all the add-ons, and they do not have that at Wyncote Place. They have some activities. They have choral groups, musicians, and singers come in. There are different things they do. The staff members are very competent and caring. They know their jobs. They know what to do."

"When I was looking for a nursing facility/assisted living, I wanted to know is it clean? How are the aides? How do they treat people like us? Is the food good? And before I came here, I inquired about other facilities and I found that this one had the best reviews. I knew a lady that lived here in independent living and she loved it. I also talked to a friend who is an administrator at another facility, and she gave PPh a high review, so that helped me too.So now that I'm here, I find that security is great. Maintenance, housekeeping, administration are all very kind and pleasant.Some people are very engaging and keep me involved in the processes happening around here, it makes me feel more involved. I am on a floor with a few other residents that have dementia. Though my mind is great and my body not-so-much, I feel the aides handle me like I have dementia too. I do brush it off but it can be annoying sometimes. I do like to surround myself with people who can engage me (good conversation and laughter). Personally I'm quite happy. If I have a bad day, I'll just stay in my room and get over it, then later I'll go out and interact with different people. I would absolutely recommend this place. Compared to the last place I was, this is a 5-star hotel. "

"A wonderful facility for a true feeling of being at home and part of a family, Saint Mary's offers residents all of that and much more. This is a charming, nicely kept, and beautifully mancured lansdcape for residents to enjoy. Saint Mary's is Catholic based, offers many type of care ranging from independant, going through assisted, skilled, and also memory care. In my experiences with this community, there is true care for the person, their dignity, their health, and well being. The staff always appears above average in all ways.Being faith based, there is a beautiful chapel in which daily masses are held. For those unable to physically take advantage, the mass will be available to them by a closed ciruit tv. In speaking with residents who feel their faith is an important element to their well being, I recognize how valuable the pastoral offerings are...including rosary, and religious services. The care given to all elements of the residents is quite impressive. I have personally seen the comfort a prient brings by simply walking into a room of a resident if only to chat with them. Saint Mary's, especially for someone comforted by their faith, would be a wonderful living choice. I would highly recommend this warm, professional community. "

"Springfield Senior Living was cute on the inside, it felt homey, and the staff was nice. The person who gave me the tour was great. She was very informative and patient with us and took us around. Their studio apartment was an adequate size, and certainly enough for what you need. We didn't dine there, but we saw the dining area, it looked a little less dining and more like a hospital cafeteria."

"I cannot say enough positive things about the staff as well as the environment at Brookdale Dublin! The rooms are kept clean, and the kitchen staff serve delicious foods as well as nutritionally balanced meals! They are definitely personally invested in the wellbeing and comfort of ALL of their residents and they were so kind and compassionate during my mother's stay from the beginning until end of life, guiding me every step along the way. I believe it was a true blessing to be able to trust my mother's care to such a great group of people! "

"My mother has been in Blue Bell Place since February. The rooms are a really nice size. They're big, they're airy. She had it painted the color she wanted. Nice and light, nice and bright. Big windows, nice-sized bathroom, a sink and a shower, big double door closets. It's a small community. It's 55 in her unit, and in the other unit, which is Alzheimer's, there's another 40 or so. We've had a little bit of an accident where she tripped and fell in her room. She ended up in the hospital for a few days, but they were right on top of it, called me up right away and told me what they were doing. I'm not real happy with their in-house doctors. I actually brought my group back because I didn't think that they were attentive enough. Everybody is very nice, very attentive. They offer a lot. They have a cocktail party every Friday night for the people who live there. They bring in a bartender, and he makes all the drinks they want, and so it's kind of fun. Other than the fact that I wasn't happy with the doctors, I'm pleased with it, and she is, too. "

"I liked that The Terraces at Lawrence is close to me because I'm the one who would be visiting my sister there. We spoke to some people and they were very friendly, and helpful, and went out of their way to try to accommodate my interest and question. Linda gave me the tour and she was great. The rooms were fine and the dining area was attractive. I especially liked the chapel that was there. I didn't see many people, but it seemed pleasantly friendly. They have games and outings to go places and movies."

"The place is beautifully decorated, and the staff friendly and helpful. Residents seem to enjoy crafts and entertainment. The rooms are generously sized, with private bathrooms.Activities are numerous, including occasional "field-trip" visits. It seems like a happy and friendly place!"
