Memory Care Communities in Philadelphia, PA

"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."

"My father is in Springfield Residence. They're very kind, caring, and always have the patient's best interest at heart. They do a real good job. It's a very nice place to live in, and it's newly renovated. He's in the Memory Care unit, and the dining room he is eating in is not that nice yet, as they're remodeling. He's very active in all of the activities, and he seems to be enjoying himself. What impressed me most is the overall care, and their genuine concern for him. "

"Brittany Manor didn't provide respite care services. Going in there, it was more for people who are mentally challenged. Before I went in, there was a resident already asking me for money while I was sitting in my car, and then when I went in, there was another resident who was asking me for money, and food, and whatever I had in my hand. The person who walked me around was a five. My experience trying to confirm that I had a tour was a one or a zero. I called to confirm, and no one seemed to be able to confirm with me that they were aware that I was coming. They said they would get back to me, and no one ever got back to me, so I just wound up showing up, and the person who gave me the tour was very friendly. However, she wasn't necessarily prepared to provide a tour. The place was very disheveled. Whoever owned the place before, that signage was still up there. The facility smelled as soon as I got in the door. The staff pretty much mentioned this is for people who have mental disabilities. The room I saw wasn't dirty. It's just that everything looked old. Everything didn't look like it was maintained properly. That's not a place I would recommend for anybody. It didn't seem like the patients were even well taken care of. The people that I talked to on the phone were not professional in my book, and telling me that you're going to get back to me, and then you still don't get back, that was very concerning."

"I toured Atria Lafayette Hill. The general feeling was friendly. They have good amenities. They have a full-service dining room, a bistro, a gym, a hair salon, and full-time physical therapy and occupational therapy. I ate at the bistro, and the food was very good."

"My father-in-law is at Deer Meadows Retirement Community. The PT came out frequently, and they had pain care management provided, which was necessary for him to get walking again, so I feel in that regard, they were very good. The staff has been very friendly and helpful. The menu seems like there's variety. They also give them different alternatives. Like if they don't like a certain protein, they will change it out for fish or chicken. They have activities, they have a barber come in to cut their hair, they have bingo, and they have some different things that they can do. Right now, my father-in-law is covered under Medicare."

"Sunrise of Abington was a very cozy, nice, and warm-looking place. It was kind of an older building. I saw a couple of seniors there talking to friends. The people who work there were very friendly and very informative. The lady who guided us was awesome. She answered all my questions. The facility itself was nice, but there was no connection through the inside of the building. You need to be out to go to the common area. That's the only minus thing. Besides that, everything was good."

"I visited a friend at Sunrise of Haverford's assisted living facility. I like the setup of the facility. I like the dining hall setup, too. It was very comfortable and homey. It didn't look like a basic institutionalized facility. It was more of something I wouldn't mind going to. My friend's room was nice. She had a 1-bedroom, and I like the lighting, the color of the room, and the bathroom. The staff that I met was very courteous, professional, and caring. The dining area was very welcoming and warm. My friend was satisfied there. I think location had a lot to do with it because it's pretty close to the city, which was good. She also liked the staff."

"The interior of Sunrise of Lafayette Hill was nice, it was a nice facility. The people were very helpful. The rooms were spacious. They had a variety of studios or one-bedroom, I did look at those. Upkeep looked good. It was a little bit older facility than some of them, but it looked like it was well-maintained. I saw the dining area and it looked like an appropriate dining area; it was nothing fancy. I am looking for a place with more scenic views for my mother. So, while the facility was nice, other facilities were more scenic. Part of that is where it's located, so it just wasn't as scenic as other places I've looked. Everybody seemed very nice, even the residents seem very nice. The staff did an excellent job. They had a salon and a place for doctor's visits and all that stuff."

"Our father has been a resident at Arden Courts of Cherry Hill for five months now. From the start, we have been very impressed with the care and compassion shown to him and to our family. Having a loved one in a memory care facility is emotional for family members. The staff at Arden has been so patient and does a wonderful job explaining things to us and making us feel that it is the right decision and he is getting truly the best professional care. But most importantly, when we visit or FaceTime with our father, we see that he is very content and most importantly happy. Fast forward until March and we landed in the unthinkable situation with COVID-19, the staff at Arden has worked so diligently to providing a safe environment while paying close attention to our need to be able to communicate by video chats and feel confident he is okay. Arden's communication to family members via weekly zoom's to give updates and plans in place are so reassuring. While at the same time they demonstrate by showing us that life goes on with our loved ones and the quality of care has remained at a consistently high level. We are very grateful we found Arden! "

"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 able to tour The Quadrangle, and that went pretty well. It was very expensive, but I did like the facility. It was clean and it was all one floor. The therapy and the dining room were all on one floor. It's just very quiet there. The rooms were nice and the staff seemed very friendly. They had a big meeting room. There was a room for arts and crafts, and there was a family room where if you bring your family in, you can sit. The room in the skilled nursing side was just basic. There was no kitchenette, but other than that it was nice, clean, and big enough for one person."

"Pinnacle at Plymouth Meeting is a brand-new building. I still can smell how new the place is. Everything is new. It feels like you're at a hotel or a resort. It feels like a new apartment complex. The lady who guided us on the tour was great. It was just awesome. We checked one-bedroom-one-bath, and it was a pretty good size. The place itself is located a little too close to the highway, but it is nice, clean, and organized. For activities, the staff showed me the painting class and the TV room or theater. It is well-planned."

"I was only here for about an hour, but I found it very clean and very nice. The staff was very supportive in answering my questions. They also showed me where their rooms were. The residents could have a one-bedroom or a shared room. So, I was just really impressed with the whole thing. The person who toured me gave me a lot of information. I told her about the whole situation and she gave me any information to help me out with. So, she was very knowledgeable and I was really happy with her. The rooms were also very spacious. It was nice. My mom would be allowed to bring her own stuff in, which is definitely what I want to do, and she will have her own bathroom. Their dining area was very quaint. There was one big room with all tables in it, and there's a lot of people sitting there watching television. I believe it's their cafeteria type of thing too, where they eat. There were crafts, exercises, and a lot of different things."
