Memory Care Communities in Newtown, PA

"My friend is at Arden Courts. It's a memory care facility. The staff are wonderful and very caring. It’s a small community with 16 people, and they have one major sitting room. They have a dining room with a full kitchen and a refrigerator in there. They have an activity room and a community room. They have a medical office, beauty shop, and barber shop where the residents can go. They have crafts displayed also. I have not eaten there, but I get no complaints from my friend about the food. They do all sorts of memory care activities. "

"My review is excellent. I have lived here since November 2016. The staff has been great. I have visited other facilities and found that Juniper Village was the best environment for myself. The entire staff is great and also the food. Please come here if you are looking for a great home."

"My wife has been a resident at Arden Courts of Warminster since November 19, 2013. Before placing my wife my family and I visited many other communities. Arden was recommended to us by a social worker and physician. We could not have placed her in a better community! Everyone from administration, caregivers, cooks, and housekeeping are very caring. They take time to talk to the residents and are all concerned about the residents needs. In addition, Arden Courts has monthly support groups for families and friends which are very helpful. They have many functions that families can participate in such as a special Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas party, and barbecues. I would highly recommend Arden Courts to anyone who is looking for memory care. "

"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 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."

"Wyncote Place was great. I would rate them all a 5. The building was awesome, and I wish I could put my mom there again. It's just that I can't guarantee that I would be able to pay for it. It's nice. It's all one floor, and they have an upstairs. Basically everybody in there is memory care. It is perfect for somebody who needs memory care pretty much. They had a patio and a library. A resident can just roam around because it's safe. Some of the books in the library were setup to be fake books, but they were still books that they could take. There's supervision everywhere, and they can go into the TV room and do some other activities. It allows them to feel like they're autonomous, but they're still being monitored, supervised, and kept safe. This is my second time considering them. I really liked the staff. The last time I had to temporarily place my mom there, they still called me later and asked how's my mom doing. They also gave information. They're just really, really great. I really liked that place."

"We thought that The Philadelphia Protestant Home was where we're going to end up going, but it turned out to be undesirable in terms of price and facilities compared to other places. It's been there a long time and has a German background. We visited there several times, and the people who lived there loved it. They had a pool, a bowling alley, crafts room, a greenhouse, and really nice gardens to walk in with picnic shelters and lots of benches and flowers. They had a wonderful entry area with a fireplace and an open room. The staff was very helpful and gave us great tours twice. The only thing that was off-putting was that it costs $77,000 a year for an extremely small room. My brother-in-law is 6'2" and only in his 70s, so it's like putting him in a closet. We didn't have the money and I didn't want to put him in a box, so that's the only reason we didn't move there. They had continuous care and a good program. It's very lively, and I liked it a lot."

"We have toured Brookdale Hamilton. It was a very nice facility. The young lady who took us through gave us a very nice tour. She answered any of our questions. She made it really nice. It was a good experience. The only issue, and it is not so much an indictment on the facility itself, is that my mom isn't quite far along in the way of dementia or Alzheimer's. Most of the residents are well past where she is right now. Nevertheless, they had varied rooms with varied choices, and they all seemed suitable. They were clean. Overall, it was a good experience. We walked through the dining area, and it was again a nice area. They had individual tables for smaller groups to sit at. It just fits in with the overall facility. It was decorated nicely. "

"Brookdale Westampton was a very nice community. It was specifically for people with dementia, and that is what John's diagnosis is, but it did not work out because he wanted to go home. From my perspective though, they were excellent. The staff was very nice. John was only there for 2 weeks, but they weren't able to handle him properly. He tried to get out too much. Brookdale Westampton was very clean and very nice. The whole layout was nice. They had a lot of program sfor John. It was a very beautiful community. They had a chef there, and he spoke to me personally about what John likes to eat. They were very caring. It was well organized as far as the staff went. They had doctors and physical therapy. I had no complaints at all. I wish it worked out. "

"We toured Juniper Village at Hamilton. It's such a nice community when you go in. The atrium was beautiful and wide open. The cafeteria looked so nice. My friend was impressed with its size. She loved to walk the hallways. The surrounding area was very nice for walking, and she has a dog. Inside, there was so much room for her to walk and get into the activity. Plus, she was very impressed with the activity schedule. There was so much to do every day to keep you busy if you wanted to be active. There's a movie theater, which she loves, a library, and a gym. They offered everything that she was interested in. We were both very impressed by it. We checked their dining area and menu. We discussed it, and they offered specials every day. Plus, they have other foods, so if you opt not to choose from the specials, you have other options every day, which is wonderful. The staff was extremely helpful and very pleasant. As we were walking through, all the staff acknowledged us. It seemed like a very pleasant community. Even the residents seemed very happy. The ones we saw smiled and said hello."

"I liked the setup of Arbor Terrace, it looked like it was redone, and it was an old mansion. The grounds were really nice, and all the residents seemed really friendly and happy. "

"We moved my mom to Saint Mary Manor. We choose it because it is closer to us, there seems to be some activities, and it is a Catholic community. People seem very nice, very friendly, and very helpful. She is in a shared room. The food has been good. They have mass every day, bingo, Pinochle, exercise class every day, and movies. They do take them out of the home once every couple of weeks to dinner or on a trip to Walmart or something like that. "

"Springfield Senior Living was very clean, and the workers there were very professional. I liked how engaged they were with the residents. They showed me the activity room. I noticed that the residents were involved in activities. They were in the dining room, they were watching TV, and they were doing things. Then the apartment itself was very nice. The only criticism I can think of is maybe renovation of the apartments like with the cabinets or something like that, but other than that, everything was very nice. I like it a lot. The staff was very professional and informative. She gave me a folder with all the information in it. I didn't have to ask any questions because all the information was in the folder."

"Brookdale Dublin was a smaller facility than the other one I toured. I met two of the residents there. I also met the cook and the representative. They were very friendly and very nice. The cook gave me my coconut cream pie, which was very nice. The dining area and the grounds were a lot smaller as well."
