Nursing Home Communities in West Chester, PA

"Some of the staff members are really good and interested in providing good service. My biggest complaint is that there are rarely open parking space for visitors. Every time I go there the "Visitor" parking spaces are ALL taken by employees that work there. There are usually some just sitting in their cars on break using their cell phones, etc. That means I have to walk all the way from the top lot to enter the building. If I were running this place I would DEMAND that the "Visitor" parking areas by dedicated to visitors only!"

"My dad went into Wellington Terrace for rehabilitation. He had shoulder surgery and he was there for a couple of months. It worked out fine. "

"It was very nice, friendly, and much bigger than other facilities, but the rooms were smaller. It's a medical model so I would have lived with people who need more assisted living than I do. The staff was very friendly."

"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 mother is in Powerback Rehabilitation. A neighbor recommended it, she's a nurse and it's by Genesis which is a big company and I've been really happy with it. They keep me informed on what's going on. They're getting her up, walking, making sure she eats all that kind of stuff, so I'm happy with them. You can't go in cause of Covid and I've never been inside but it looks nice outside. They got her up walking which is good. They always answered the phone. What I'd like about this place is you're assigned to like a team leader. The social worker, the physical therapist, everybody reports to the team leader, so even if I leave a message for a social worker and she doesn't get back to me, the team leader knows. So, I like the flow. And the team leader makes the bad situation into funny. She takes her job seriously but when you finish talking to her even if it's bad news you're not crying because she kinda mix it right. I can call her anytime about anything and she will call me back. I'm very impressed with them. They're on lockdown due to Covid, so they have to eat in the room. She goes down for physical therapy and I don't know how that worked out like if there are room or just physical therapy come up to her, but I know she made it up to 44 steps. Every day they go tell me, ''Oh she did these many steps.'' The nurse surgeon that saw her when she broke her neck doesn't take her insurance so he won't talk to me about anything like what mom's supposed to do, like arm exercises or whatever. She just talked to a physical therapist and I found out from the physical therapist that my mother can't have anything with buttons. She has this big brace on her neck and they don't want her looking down. I know some aide is like always available if she needs something. Mom likes the food there. Her insurance fix the whole thing up. She has Medicare and they fix the whole thing up."

"I was a resident at CV for 3 months everyone is friendly it is very clean I received very good care. "

"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 nice but overpriced. It's very expensive, and we couldn't afford it. It's very clean and had nice facilities. I only met a couple of the staff who seemed nice. The grounds are very kept up and very nice. "

"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. "

"Maris Grove was very nice and cozy. You walk in there and it was like stepping into a really big hotel that looked beautiful. They had theaters and different eating areas. The walking areas were nice. We saw the apartment and that was very nice, too. We also saw residents gathered together playing cards and doing crafts, and that looked great. It looked like a nice place to live. The staff that we met was very pleasant."

"We've toured Kendal-Crosslands Communities. I like the environment of nature, it's a beautiful complex. They have cottages and apartments that are modernized and beautiful. The grounds are beautiful, they have a great library and they have a really good health facility. There's much space for activities and they have classes on-site. It's a very diverse population. They have all the levels of care in the same site. The person who showed me around during the tour was friendly and knowledgeable. The rooms are fully stocked with appliances including a washer and dryer."

"Saint Martha's is a Catholic Faith based community. It is a high end operation which offers top care in all directions needed for residents. Pastoral care is a very important element to this community, with services available for those able to partake. It is run with care, but like a tight ship. There are rules staff are expected to follow, but it doesn't seem like staff looks at it as such. The aides are very caring and demonstrataive with the residents. To see an aide who may not be of the same Catholic faith, make sure to get a resident to a mass is refreshing. Much nurturing is evident in this community, from the top of the admiistrative people right down throught he ranks.This is a facility I would feel most comfortable referring to anuyone who wants the feel of being at home, under the supervsion of people who show they act not only out of their profession, but from their heart! "

"I think Granite Farms Estates is 100%, that's why I'm going there. They more than satisfied me. I liked that they have a giant indoor pool, a big, wonderful library, and a gym to support my activities. It was in a beautiful country setting and you don't even see or hear the city. It's the best I've seen. The staff is excellent, very concerned, and caring. The meals in the café were very good and reasonable cost-wise. It's wonderful and I'd be on the second floor, which I wanted, and it has a beautiful balcony. The place has nice landscaping. They have a lot of very good activities. I've talked to the people there and they're very happy. The lobby is just immense, new, bright, and welcoming. It's just a beautiful entrance. They're redoing my apartment completely so everything is going to be brand new."
