Memory Care Communities in Reading, PA

"I could not have chosen a better place for my husband. Everything was always clean, the nurses and staff always caring and friendly, and all the residents seemed happy. I am very thankful that I chose Cornerstone and highly recommend."

"We visited St Martha Villa. We met with the director of marketing and she was very nice, she gave us a tour, and told us what they offer. It was very pleasant and was kept up very well. They had transportation and they could take them to place. They had nice sitting areas and hallways, and the decor was just very inviting and pleasing to the eye"

"We were very pleased with Atrium of Allentown. I have contacted them directly to let them know that we would like to proceed with this facility. We feel optimistic that this facility will be a good choice. The tour was absolutely wonderful. The facility was beautiful. I was very impressed with all the personnel that we encountered. I don't have one single reservation or concern at all at this point. I was very impressed. I feel like it's going to be a great match for my father-in-law. The rooms were neat, efficient, new, and modern. I saw the residents working on a holiday coloring activity while I was there."

"I liked Heather Glen. My sister's daughters were distressed by the fact that it was a locked unit and that is how they describe it, but I always rephrase that and say it's a secured unit, meaning they're going to be safe in there. I thought it was beautiful that they had all the different rooms off of it. As I recall, it was a square, and people were allowed to just kind of wander around its 7000-square foot area. They could go outside and not have to worry about wandering off because they felt like they were outside in a park, but they couldn't go anywhere or get hurt, which I think is huge. They had greens and places where they could plant, do things, and connect with other people. They had little church services, or they watch TV together. There were just so many different activities for them that they could connect with however they are capable. They offered multiple opportunities to connect, and that to me is a big deal. I went to see the memory care. The room and the people were awesome. The residents there seemed happy, and content and they weren't agitated, although they told me that does happen. I came in at like 5:00 and it was dinner time and she told me that each of the little neighborhoods has its own meal plan. I kind of think some of them all eat at one table, family-style buffet, and others sit in a little cafe. They try to get to know the residents and to pair them so that they are most comfortable with the people they're around, so, they're more likely to engage. Everything I saw them do was intended to get that person to engage at a level that they were comfortable with. And that was clearly the piece that was missing in the other facility my loved one was previously in. I thought they were wonderful. And I suggested that to all three of my sister's daughters. I spoke with the older daughter who said she had met with another individual whose name I was familiar with. I met with another representative, Heather, and my niece met with the other woman. She also said it was beautiful, but she thought it was more expensive. She gave me a number that was higher than what I was told, and they couldn't afford that. I thought it was beautiful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend that to anyone whose loved one is dealing with these issues. I did not interact with the staff there, but the marketing sales department people seemed very knowledgeable and very compassionate. I got the sense that the staff was truly trained in how to work with people with this disease. I saw that it was evident that they knew what they were doing. The marketing people and the activities person knew how to talk to people, and they knew the people. I did not try the food, but when I came in around the dinner hour, they were in the general community room waiting for their meal. So obviously it was good because they were sitting out there waiting. It was very clean, and it looked like a hotel. They had a bird thing and then they had an arboretum. There's a little library and music area, too."

"My Granny was a resident of Linden Village and also my husbands Great Grandmother and both received excellent care. Everyone from the front office staff, the nurses and the caregivers were very caring, kind and helpful. It made the transition for our loved ones and our family very easy. The rooms where just the right size. They both enjoyed all the activities. Linden Village has beautiful Courtyards for the residents to walk."

"My Father-in-Law was deteriorating from ALZ. We needed a safe place for him to live with dignity. He used to be afraid all them time. At Arden Courts he was always cared for. He looked presentable, he was never afraid. He was a very proud man, even with dementia. The staff were amazing and supported him all the way until the end. When Hospice was there, so many staff came to say their goodbyes to him. He was cared for until the end. "

"Echo Lake was the only one who took my stepmother. I went through some tours with the other places, but then at the last minute they just turned us down. She has a certain condition and Echo Lake had no problems taking her. They treat her like any other resident and the place is just absolutely beautiful. They are very attentive to all her needs because she has extra needs and the food's good. Just a very positive atmosphere and she's thriving there. It's a studio that we picked for her. They supply a bed, an end table, a lamp, a comfy chair, a pretty big bathroom with a shower that she can just wheel her wheelchair into, a kitchenette with a full size refrigerator, microwave, counter space, and upper and lower cabinets. The staff is extremely friendly. They are willing to do anything and they are not rushed. Like they're not trying to hurry you up to go do something else. They genuinely care about the individual and you can see it in everything they do. They seem very educated in what they're doing as well. She has three meals a day, but if she wanted to eat six times, she could. They've got a ton of activities throughout the day every day, including weekends. They do exercises twice a day, they play games, they do readings, puzzle time, bingo, and they have this big calendar in the assisted living and independent living, but you can go to either area. It doesn't matter if you're assisted living or not."

"Had a great experience visiting this location to see my family. grounds are amazing, residents all seemed so happy and staff was so friendly and accommodating!"

"My Great-Uncle has been living at Oak Leaf Manor (Landisville) for about a year. I have visited him at least twice a week since he has been there, so I am very familiar with Oak Leaf. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and well maintained. There is plenty of outside seating including two gazebo's. There is also an outside picnic area and nice walkways for the residents. The interior is wonderfully decorated for whatever season it happens to be. There is also a water fountain inside that is quite nice so sit around and relax. The dining room is nicely laid out and the food is good. The residents rooms are spacious and clean. The staff at Oak Leaf Manor is very friendly and caring. If any problems arise, the staff do their best to accommodate you as quickly as possible. There are a lot of activities for the residents, including BINGO, a theater room, scenic bus rides, crafts, and veterans activities. Overall Oak Leaf Manor has a very comfortable friendly atmosphere. If you are looking for a home for a loved one who can no longer live alone, I highly recommend Oak Leaf Manor. "

"My father-in-law is in respite care at Arbour Square at West Chester. The place just has an appeal to it with the amenities, like the movie theater, the restaurant, and the diner that has 50s or 60s style. It is near an airport and he likes the plane coming in and stuff like that. He is getting his medication handled. He is independent with everything else; he does not get help with showers and anything like that. They are really great and very friendly. The staff are very attentive to him and just kind of go out of their way to check in on him. He is loving the food, but activities are a little tough with this whole COVID thing, but he is starting to be able to stay in some more stuff. It is a cute little venue. There is a lot for them to do and the airport is right there so they can go up to the top of the floor and see the airplanes take on and off if they like that."

"My dad moved into Mifflin Court. We chose this place because I liked the fact that he could get the level of care that he needed. The facility is very clean and the upkeep is great. Dad has a studio apartment with a little kitchenette, a private bathroom, dressers, a recliner, and a TV. The staff is great. They listen to what you have to say and they are all very helpful. They have movie nights and bingo, and a lot more other activities. They always have something going on."

"Country Meadows of Wyomissing is very nice. My mother's room is very nice. We like everything about it. The staff is very helpful. She likes the food and service has been really good there. She's enjoying it. She does exercises, games, bingo, and different activities. It's clean and everybody's smiling. It's a very good welcoming atmosphere. She's very happy, and she's doing extremely well."

"I checked it out before, and it was really nice. They showed me an apartment and a room, they were very nice, very accommodating. The person I talked to couldn't tell me a whole lot about the money and things like that. I know they could go out the balcony and smoke a cigar."

"My mom is now at The Lutheran Home at Topton. They're the only ones that accepted her, so that's where she went. The room has a bed, a dresser, a closet, and a television. I haven't been there for an extended period of time, but the staff seems to be fine. They have a courtyard-type thing. They also have other facilities around there because some people live by themselves. They have assisted living and all that."
