Nursing Home Communities in West Chester, PA

"’ll be honest and say, looking at past reviews scared my family. We were informed that they were taken over by new management and that things have changed and are continuing to change. We took a chance and went to check it out. We needed a place for my mom who has dementia, is in the late stages and needed physical rehab after being in the hospital for 2 weeks. She had a mental breakdown due to her previous facility stopping a medicine cold turkey. That scared most places. We were in a tight spot and needed a place. We made up our mind in the parking lot afterwards. Bob, the director of admissions, was amazing. He wasn’t sale-sy or pushy. He was upfront and honest about everything. He did what he could to make it work AND make ya comfortable. Debbie, head of the nursing department, wasn’t afraid of our situation with mom having had a mental breakdown....so many places were. We moved mom in the next day. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming and accommodating, everyone was so sweet. Mom has been there over a week now and nothing has changed. Everyone in the building has been so happy to help mom, and help us. I absolutely recommend giving them a chance. You won’t be disappointed."

"I have been accepted at Barclay Friends. The tour was very nice. Lori, the director, was very open and very helpful. I went back a second time so that I could see a one-bedroom apartment, and a resident was willing to let me come in and see it. It was a very positive experience. They offer three meals a day, cleaning once a week, and you can do laundry. There's a common room, a dining room, and a meeting room. It's all relatively new because they had to be rebuilt after a fire, and just before the pandemic."

"My aunt Lena was here some time ago and I found the staff caring and trying their best to accommodate any and all request. Thank you"

"My 76 year old father was in a very bad car accident in which he broke both his legs and had a total hip replacement. After his stay in the hospital, he could not go home as he was unable to bear any weight on his legs for 8 weeks. After some research on nursing facilities, I chose Wellington Terrace for him. I am very happy I did and so is he! Wonderful staff, very attentive, clean facility and excellent food! Couldn't be happier! "

"I was here for 2 wks. recovering from a major surgery and learning new lifestyle changes I would have to make. I felt like I was in a hotel. The place was beautiful. I had a private room with a bathroom. I had a sofa and chair and a recliner for visitors. The food was fantastic and I could call room service for anything I needed. My husband finished most of my meals. He was satisfied and very pleased too. He didn't have to cook for himself when he got home. I was very sick in the beginning and required a lot of attention. Everyone was kind and helpful. I had PT and OPT. They were firm with their expectations of what I had to do but kind and considerate at the same time. They had a lot to deal with because I came in with pre-existing medical conditions. The PT staff worked their magic and by the end of 2 weeks, I was able to go home which pleased me very much. I was worn out by the end of the day so I did not join in with the activities and get-togethers for snacks and music but it looked like fun. I would go back there if I ever needed this type of care again. I told everyone how great the facility was. "

"Her experience in Bryn Mawr Rehab was nice. My mother was released there after 5 days after having a stroke. The staff and the therapist were good. It is a very well respected rehab hospital. "

"My husband did rehab at ProMedica Total Rehab. He just got out on Saturday. The care is good. They were just in there all the time with him and they brought his medications on time. It was a nice place and it's a newer one. My husband said the food was good. They don't share the food with the people coming to visit though so I have not tried it. He was in a private room with one bed, a good-sized TV on the wall, and a good-sized bathroom."

"I had a friends mom enter this rehab and nursing center. The facility is clean, the staff is friendly and caring, food is very good and her mom recovered fully and would definitely recommend this community to others. "

"The place is nice, however it is a little run down (Pocopson). The food is alright; I have eaten there before with my Grandfather. The staff are very nice people and are friendly with the residents. However, it has a weird smell to the place and the rooms aren't all that great. You can tell they were cheaply made. There are many events such as Bingo there every weekend, and they have a nice place where you can sit down / watch TV when you are eating. They serve lots of things there, and they do put some effort into the cooking. When it is warm outside, residents can sit outside and have a smoke or read the paper. It's a nice green lawn with a small garden and some big trees. Going back inside, the lobby area is pretty small as well. The place has big locked doors in a lot of places so the residents can not get out unless you sign them out and they are healthy enough to leave. "

"White Horse Village is a stand-alone place. It is not owned by any major corporation but by individual investors, and it's beautiful. It's actually my first choice, but it's a little step above and a little more expensive. They have different choices of villas, carriage homes, condos, and so on. It's just lovely."

"I visited this facility very recently. The receptionist admissions director, and an occupational therapist were wonderful and made me feel welcomed. The outside of the facility was aesthetically more attractive than the inside. The resident areas smelled of urine or some other similar odor. The rooms I remember looked old and dingy. Mostly, I didn't like that adjoining twin bed rooms shared the same bathroom which means as many as four residents would share the same bathroom. The residents seemed okay. Lastly, where the facility is located [off a fast moving roadway] makes it easy to miss. If you do miss it, you'll drive a distance to make a suitable U-turn. After the U-turn, you have to drive pass the facility to be able to return to the road it's on. Even more frustrating was getting out of the parking lot on to the road which proved to be a very cautious adventure. I would give it 2 1/2 stars. "

"What I like most about Maris Grove is the activities and the whole indoor environment. They had a whole world you could walk around inside, like in the middle of winter, you could walk miles and never go outside. They had a lot of hallways and a lot of corridors, and a lot of buildings. They had basic things like a library and a gym. The staff was very nice and they told us the whole deal. We had good food, and their dining area was nice and comfortable. The facility was very well kept."

"My mother will be moving into Kendal-Crosslands Communities. We just really liked it for a whole number of reasons. The range of services and the interactions we've had with the staff have all been extremely good. It seemed very warm and inviting and my mother was quite taken with their gardens. I like the quality of the staff and the convenience of it because it's very close to me and that was very important. I like the dining environment, and the staff just seemed very attentive. The upkeep seemed excellent. My mother enjoyed the food. One of the dining areas overlooks a patio and it's really beautiful. The gardens there were very nice, so the dining areas were very comfortable and scenic."
