Nursing Home Communities in Newtown, PA

"I toured Chandler Hall, and the staff is excellent. The rooms are very nice. The YMCA is inside the campus, so there are always activities and people around. They have an indoor and an outdoor pool. However, they won't certify me for independent living, and it costs $6,000 a month to live in an apartment."

"This is a review for the skilled nursing part of Holland Village. My mom was send there for rehab and we had a terrible experience. Rooms were dirty and depressing, nursing staff was all agency and there was no consistency. We had different nurses everyday and they were very uncaring and most of the time didn't even know what was going on. We reached out to management for help on multiple items and there were unresponsive and put no effort into helping us. I would not recommend this place and wish I had some honest reviews before I sent my mom there."

"We're moving my mother-in-law into Pickering Manor. I have come across this facility by word of mouth. My mother-in-law will be moving into their nursing home facility because she has Alzheimer's. She wouldn't be eligible for their assisted living. Because Pickering Manor was an older facility, their rooms were rather small. That's the biggest disappointment for us. However, they did have large windows so you would be able to look out and see pleasant surrounding because this facility was in a beautiful setting. The staff's work attitude was very good. They seemed to be very caring of the residents. They also seemed well trained and observant with picking up the needs of the residents. That's the main reason we're going with this place. For activities though, they have bus trips to various places. "

"I have used this facility on just a few occassions to provide care services for my husband and much needed 'respite' services for myself. I am full-time employed outside the home & the primary caregiver for my 53 yr old husband, who was diagnosed with ADEM, a neuro-muscular disorder, in 2002. His condition requires full-time attention & assistance with all ADL's, as he is unable to stand,walk, feed or dress himself. Finding capable facilities for his level of care, are a challenge to say the least. The administration & staff at this facility are caring & compasionate individuals who have been a blessing for me, in providing full-time care services for the few times that I could actually take a break from the stress & craziness that exists in my every day life. "

"I'm writing this to share that Crestview's staff has been truly amazing during the COVID-19 pandemic. With all the negative stories coming out in the media and that have been felt firsthand, Crestview has gone above and beyond in their care, services, and especially their openness and transparency. Before the first case was reported, the Crestview management began twice daily Zoom meetings with family members of residents, with as many as 70 individuals on each video call. They shared data, procedures, and other information in an honest and forthright manor. They have become friends to all of the family members and we see how amazing they are with our loved ones. Trust me when I say that this is a great facility if you want a place where your loved ones will receive the care and loving support that you would want for them. "

"My mother did great there, everyone was nice, therapy was very good, and the nurses were helpful. Very pleased with her outcome. "

"I felt that this facility was a very nice retirement community. The rooms were nice and the facility itself was very well kept. The staff was always friendly and said hello to us in the halls. The residents seemed like they were cared for and treated kindly and well by all of the nurses and other staff members. The residents had the option to live independently or with assistance which I felt gave them freedom to the usual nursing home. There were not one but two dining rooms for the residents to eat. The staff in each room was nice and the food was good. It seemed like they always had activities and events for residents to participate in and encouraged them meeting new people and trying new things. I thought the facility was very accommodating to all of the residents and their needs. Our family friend seems to enjoy where he is staying and is well taken care of. "

"Staff was phenomenal. They really took care of my mom and we’re so happy to accommodate my family during visits. The gym and rehab is AMAZING ! So big and great equipment. Definitely will recommend "

"This is the 3rd facility my family member is in, and by far the best. Staff is responsive to his needs, especially the nurses. There has been a recent change in nurses and although I was apprehensive about his care, I think it is better than ever. CNA staff is sometimes short, but I ran into that in all the facilities . Basically, I am happy with his new situation. The new medical director is fantastic, caring and very reachable when needed. I would give the facility 41/2 stars because there is always room for improvement."

"My husband is getting very good care at ManorCare . His physical therapy and occupational therapy is excellent. It is a good place. It's clean and it does not have an odor. His room is bright and airy. He likes that he can see the main entrance from his room. He does not have much of an appetite but food is good. If I have a question they answer it. I'm not there all day, I go for a few hours in the afternoon. I trust the people taking care of him. His therapists are very good. "

"I toured Southampton Estates. I like it. It's on a lot of ground where you can take your animal out and take a walk or ride a bicycle. They're on a major road, but they're way back, so you get lots of room. To me, it was very good. The fitness center was there, and the pool was there. They have a whole connected system where you can go from one building to another without going outside. I saw a lot of good things there. The food was good, just that the name of them were fancy, but they were sandwiches. They gave me a snack and a drink. The food was very good. It was very nicely done. I was very pleased with a lot of things. I didn't see many things that were pulling me away from it except, of course, these things are expensive and the better they are, the more expensive they are, but that's OK, you're paying for that."

"My great aunt has live here for over 10 years. She is very satisfied and so am I. She has a wonderful apartment, the best medical care, and after spine surgery she received terrific follow up care and rehab at the Rose Garden. I have had many fine meals as her guest in the dining roam, and during covid I knew she was protected. It is not cheap, but my aunt and uncle worked and saved for many years to be able to care for themselves in their later years. This was their money and I am happy it is spent on their care, happiness and security not mine!"

"I used to visit my girlfriends mom there, and I also volunteered there, they are a very caring place and take care of their patients with loving care~ "

"I am traveling home after visiting my mom, who has been a resident of Majestic Oaks for over 10 years. Mom doesn’t want to be in a nursing home but it was the best choice for our family, when it became apparent that mom could not live and be safe on her own. Updates since my last review. There has been another executive administrative change at MO. This is roughly 4 to 5 administrative director changes since my mom began living at MO. Some department personnel , has remain unchanged and solidly staffed throughout the years. Kudos go out to the ever present Activities Staff who are always pleasant and attentive to all residents at MO. Trips to local places that residents find thrilling and fun are interspersed throughout the month. I am grateful for the activities that happen on the 2nd and 3rd floors on a daily basis. I am able to bring my dog to visit. He’s a big dog with all the necessary papers from the vet to allow him to visit and cheer up the residents. I was informed on this last visit that there is a wireless phone on the floor and that I can call and speak to my mom on a regular basis. The floor staff could not have been more welcoming this visit. All my requests were met with a smile and I was happy for that change of attitude. All in all, I had a great visit and look forward to seeing some more positive changes when I visit again. Thanks Majestic Oaks for all you do for my Mom. "
