Nursing Home Communities in Doylestown, PA

"I am a resident of The Philadelphia Protestant Home. They have everything you need. The food is good. It's near where I live. The nurses are well-trained. It's just top-notch. It's very clean, and bright, well-lighted, and the elevators worked."

"We looked at Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley. The tour was excellent. We had dinner there with some residents, and we liked it. The staff who gave the tour was extremely knowledgeable about the facility. The apartments looked appropriately spacious. The dining area was attractive, and the food was tasty. The facility seemed well maintained."

"We got Mom over at the Riverview Estates. She loves their food. It's gorgeous. It's very clean. The maintenance is good. They just had a whole bunch of renovations. It's pristine. The view of the river makes you feel like you're on vacation versus in a senior living home. They have this beautiful atrium with rocking chairs so people can sit and just look at the river. It's a beautiful ambiance. She's very happy there. They have religious services six days a week, which my mother loves, and bingo, which she loves. They bring in a lot of entertainers, like a lot of singers. On Christmas, they brought in a choir. She hung up on me the other day to go play bingo. She's happy that they have the Hallmark Channel in their TV room. They have a giant screen TV with a bunch of chairs and that makes her very happy, even though she has a small TV in her room. They're very attentive to her needs. When she misses a meal, they come up and they try to get her down for meals. If she can't make it down because she's in too much pain, they bring her her meals. Whenever I called the facility during the first couple of weeks when she was getting acclimated, they called me back very quickly. They work to get her needs met. I think the value for the money is great. I wish she would call staff more often, but that has nothing to do with their rating. She has a habit of not wanting to ask for help, but they know to come look for her, which I find important. I'm very happy there."

"We visited the Masonic Village at Burlington's independent living for my friend. The person who took us on the tour was very pleasant. The apartment was gorgeous, and the grounds were just beautiful. We didn't eat there, but we did see the dining room, and it looked nice. It looked like a restaurant with linens. Their lunch area was sort of like a deli where you order what you want, and the food looked delicious. The size of the rooms was huge. They were very big and beautiful. I liked it, and I was impressed."

"We live at The Quadrangle, and we are extremely happy. We are in a cottage. We've been here for eight years. We wouldn't want to be anywhere else. We have all the support we need for any problem that we have. This is a physically beautiful community with 70 acres of woodland. We have trails around. I ride an electric cart, and I can ride all around the fire road. We have a pond. We have very active activities, all organized by the residents. The Quadrangle emphasizes the life of the mind. Most of our residents are highly educated, formerly people in education and business. We have a common dining room, and we have a grill, and you can eat at either place. You have to have reservations for the dining room. It's very elegant. We think the food is wonderful, it's healthy, and has many choices. Since we live in a cottage and my husband and I are still well and in good health, we generally get our dinner and bring it back to the cottage so that we can eat privately. We have just undergone an extensive internal renovation of the facility, and this summer, there will be an external renovation of more plantings and more designs. We have over 70 activities."

"I'm leaning towards Phoebe Allentown. They were very, very nice, I filled up all the applications, gave them the documents they wanted. The apartments were much smaller than what I have here. They have transportation, one meal a day, socialization and activities, and in their continuing care they have assisted living down the street and nursing home. It was clean and it is maintained, there's no problem there. The staff was very wonderful."

"We toured the Wesley Enhanced Living Main Line, and the residents were all very friendly and very involved in their activities of the day. They offered me lunch so I could sample the food. The apartments were all lovely and large. They were not the most expensive. They are cheaper than the other facilities. Wesley Enhanced Living Main Line is my number one choice. I'm hoping to get in there. It's nestled next to a golf course. It must be incredibly lovely during the summer. The staff was very nice. Everywhere we went, someone was cleaning. We went into people's apartments because they didn't have anything open at the moment, and they said, "Oh, I love living here. It's wonderful. Look at the view I have." I liked it, and it felt like home."

"My grandmother was a resident here. All the staff are caring , and go above and beyond. It looks much better on the inside then from the street. Clean, great food, amazing activities like singing, theater, painting, music, bingo, wii, trivia, and more, There therapy dept is wonderful. The nurses are always available and knowledgeable. I would recommend this facility as the best in the area !!! "

"My wife has been in Golden Living for five months now. The experience has been good, the rooms are fine, and the staff is very nice. They have been doing different activities. "

"We had to place our father in physical therapy after a serious fall at home and subsequent surgery. We are grateful to Pine Run Health Center for how wonderful they made his stay, the admissions process, and our visits. We had team meetings with the social worker and staff, OT and PT. He had excellent meals. His nurses were attentive and the facility is clean. We live close to the facility and visited several times a day and always found dad with a smile. In addition, the facility is in an easy-accessible, yet rural, Bucks County setting which allowed him to get fresh air daily, first by wheelchair and then via walks along the beautiful Pine Run paths. We are thankful to have such senior health care right here in Doylestown. "

"Neshaminy Manor was fabulous. They had a beautiful setup. They had 60 beds for memory care, but there's a long waiting list. I'm trying to get Medicaid for my husband because everything is way out of my price range. The rooms were like two to a room. They weren't big. They were a decent size. Everybody had their own TV, their own bed, and their own closet. There was a nice bathroom in there. It was nice. The staff was great and very informative. They couldn't have been nicer. They're very easy to ask questions. They were just very accommodating with anything we wanted to know. We were just in the memory unit, but they had all kinds of setups for nursing care. Every single thing there was excellent. I did not try the food, but they had a menu. They also had a delicatessen if you didn't like the food. It was so, so nice. It was unbelievable. They had a whole chart full for the day and month to do things and get people to interact."

"My dad was sick and was required stay at this facility. The staff made sure he had everything he need and his stay was stress free until the end. Thank for making his transition a comfortable and peaceful one."

"We placed my mother in Masonic Village at Warminster. It is a very nice center, and she likes it there. Obviously, it has secured doors, and there was somebody in the office at the time I first visited. It was really clean, it didn't smell of anything, and it was really neat. Everything was nice. They even have, which I saw a little later, two dogs in there for the people. What nice dogs; a little one and a larger one. They are so friendly, it is unreal. They take care of the people, and the people like them. The staff is very good. They really take care of my mom. Sometimes, she gets really confused, and they take care of her. They have a number of people on their staff, not just a few, and they take care of everything. I am really impressed. My mom has a private room, and it is a good size. I have eaten there, especially at lunchtime, a number of times already, and it is terrific. And the desserts that they give you...wow, I can't believe it! They have a large dining room with circular tables. They have four or five people to a table, and they serve the food: hot meal, desserts, ice cream, and foie salad. And in the middle of this large table they have like a lazy Susan with all kinds of stuff on it like coffee creamers, Jello, and a lot of stuff. From what I have seen, they have a lot of music entertainment, art, painting and so forth, and day crafts. It is really neat. I like what I have seen. I really like it. "

"Christ's Home Retirement Community Shepherds Crossing was very nice. The facilities and the people were nice. It's convenient to assisted living locations. The place was great. The nurses were great. They're very helpful. Food was not bad, too. For skilled nursing, the room was fine. It's what you would expect. The atmosphere inside was very comfortable."
