Memory Care Communities in Exton, PA

"I was impressed by Sunrise. There’s always something going on there. I was greeted warmly, and I enjoyed meeting everybody. They were active. The rooms and the dining room were both very nice. Their head of activities was a musician, so the activities tended to be musical, and the residents related to it well. "

"My sister was at Freedom Village at Brandywine. It was fine every time we went and saw her. We saw her at different times, and every time we went, she was on point. They had her fixed up nicely. She wasn't interested in too many activities, but they had therapy and stuff. She had a nice room. It was furnished nicely. It was clean. The people came in the morning and cleaned it. The bathroom was clean, too. The staff was nice. For any information we needed, they would get it for us, or the doctor would come in and explain things to us."

"Sunrise of Westtown was the best of the facilities I went to. The girl who showed us around gave us so much information and did a wonderful job. I told her about the money situation with my sister and yet she kept on presenting the place the way she should have. Unlike with the other facility, their presentation was more professional and well done. The place itself I felt was nicer, a little cleaner and more kept-up. Everything was fine. The living environment for the dementia patients was fine. In comparison to their dementia patients, I don't feel like my sister is that bad. Most of their patients there were like they really had no idea where they were and what's going on. We were there around lunch time, so we didn't see any activities. Their dining room seemed very nice. Their rooms were nice and very homey. They're not institutionalized at all. They have something on the wall outside of each patient's door, so they can recognize their room. They might have pictures of family, pictures of their interests like flowers, etc. That part is nice. Also each room has a little window that looks out to the main area. So if they were in their room and wanted to shut the door, they could open up the curtain and just look out and see everybody. I thought that was a nice idea too. In this facility, security was good. They use a key pad and they have a pass code that they put in there. That seemed fine. Overall, I would recommend this facility. "

"Daylesford Crossing was clean, and the facilities were great. The staff did a wonderful job. The room, the food, the menu and their dining room were adequate. They had everything there."

"We visited and it was just comparable to the other facilities we visited in terms of food, care and the staff."

"My wife and I would visit this facility to see my grandmother in law who suffered from alzheimer's disease. My wife and I both found the home to be appealing for many reasons. Upon arriving at he facilities front doors, it was always apparent that most of the clients appeared to be happy and content, sitting on the porch area or within the large living room area. The receptionists (there were a few of them) were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were kept clean, and as much as possible smelled that way as well. The meals were healthy and were above average for what you would expect at this type of facility. They also offered many activities and classes to keep active, healthy, and as mentally sharp as possible. There were adequate rooms, living and recreation areas, including outdoor areas to congregate. They also allowed the use of the reception hall for special occations for friends and family members. The family celebrated all of her birthdays there over the years. Overall, the experience was positive for her and the family. I would recommend the Manatawny Manor facility to future prospects in need of there services. I think our entire family would agree with this assessment. "

"My mother-in-law will be moving into Arden Courts of King of Prussia. We chose them because they specialize in behavioral dementia. They are very good at what they do. Few places specialize in frontal lobe dementia, and they are very trained in handling the behaviors, de-escalating, and redirecting. The rooms are smaller for a purpose because they try to encourage all residents to be out among all of the other residents. It's in a circle, so they can kind of walk in any direction, and get where they need to be. They have full access to the outside courts, which was very important to my mother-in-law. They've got activities almost like every other hour just to keep them up and moving and interactive. You can tell that it's a little dated. It's an older community. It's not a modernized, community but it's fit for dementia care."

"I really liked my visit to Rose Tree Place. The atmosphere was very pleasant. The people were very nice. The facility was well-kept and the grounds were beautiful. They showed me the menus and the different specials of the day, but the restaurant was empty at the time I was there. The staff was very nice to me and very nice with the residents. They had a very professional staff."

"When my father couldn't live alone anymore, I spent a great deal of time researching and visiting assisted living facilities in the area. I am glad that we chose Brandywine Senior Suites for my father. I immediately noticed the homey feel and cleanliness when I went to visit. The dining area is beautiful. There are many seatings during the day so the residents can choose when they would like to dine. Nice music always accompanies a meal. The staff is top notch. They are always helpful and attentive. Should I every need to discuss my father's needs, they are always available."

"Ivy Gables' staff seems very caring and very accommodating. The food samples are excellent. They have single rooms and very well-appointed, clean, and attractive surroundings. "

"Rockland Place was a very impressive location with very friendly staff and beautiful facilities/outdoor areas. It seemed more magnificent than what my elderly grandfather in his weakened state could fully appreciate. He mostly stayed in his room, which was quite small but very comfortable. I'm sure he was bored and lonely there, but that was to no fault of the home. I remember the food being fine, but nothing too special. I also remember a very nice library there where you could even borrow movies. All in all, I'd say that this was the type of place I'd hope to find myself if I ever do end up in an assisted living facility. The only complaint I have is that on the final day of my grandfather's life he became quite nonsensical. We could tell he was slipping away. He kept asking to listen to opera music, which he had loved all his life. I ran frantically around the home looking for some source of music. I asked the staff, but they didn't take the matter seriously. In the end, I never was able to find opera music to play for my grandfather as he passed away. I wish that the home could have at least provided him a radio, but I understand they have more important things to worry about. "

"My mother moved to Arden Courts in 2011. She has been a resident of Arden Courts for over two years now. Her dementia prevents her remembering where she is or why she is here. The caregivers and all staff interact with my mother in a positive, friendly manner. They smile and treat mom with respect. Before each of the many daily activities, a staff member tells mom about the activity and asks her if she would like to join in the activity. Mom participates in many activities, such as chair exercises, painting and other art projects, sing-along, bingo, word games, story telling, balloon volleyball, manicures, resident birthday parties, pet visits, and worship services. Mom especially likes the out trips when residents travel by bus to a restaurant, park, musical performance, museum, or a scenic ride. Mom receives much more mental stimulation than she received in her house three years ago when she had only one in-home care provider at a time. Now, the increased interaction appears to have slowed mom's mental decline and it definitely elevates her mood. I recommend Arden Courts for your loved one with memory loss issues. "

"I did an in-person visit to Pinnacle at Plymouth Meeting. It looked pretty nice to me, it's fairly new, and they were just accepting people in the next couple months The apartment was kind of small. I saw one or two staff members, they were very pleasant and helpful. I just saw a couple of apartments and an area where the turnpike passed by there, and still I couldn't hear the turnpike noise, so that's quite good."
