The Landing of Collegeville

My mother is at The Landing of Collegeville. I like how it's appointed, how it's decorated, and the location. It's six minutes from my house. The staff seems pretty nice. I was allowed to move her in and other than that, I've just been allowed in the office for visits. All summer, we were on the patio having outdoor visits. So far, so good. I love her room. She has a studio apartment. It's small, but it's all she needs. She gets whatever the main thing is for lunch and then she always gets the grilled cheese and chips for suppertime. It's a beautiful facility. She has three huge closets. They have assisted living, memory care, and independent living.

We visited the memory care section of The Landing of Collegeville and it was very nice. It's a new building, and the first time I went most of the residents were out on a field trip, so I didn't get to meet the activities director or the unit manager. It seemed very nice. They had a specific music program. They have a menu that residents can choose from every day which seemed good. They have a salon and a small garden off of the unit, but it's very bare, basically just grass, no plants. It is a new facility and they said they were going to be doing some more landscaping at it. I did go back the second time and met some of the staff.

We went to The Landing, and they have small apartments. Everything felt like being in a hotel. They don't have a pool. It looked like an empty hotel.

The Landing of Collegeville is top all the way through. My wife is in the memory unit, and I am there with her, but I am not part of the memory unit treatment. It's the only 1 in 10 that I checked that would allow that to occur in the memory unit. The staff is very good and very friendly and doing their job. They have programs set up every day to keep them active. The food is more than satisfactory. They have all the facilities including a little movie theater. They have exercise and will be eating outdoor today for a barbecue at the back. We're getting our money's worth.
