The Best Senior Living Communities in Glen Mills, PA

"Ivy Gables Senior Living did not have an availability in memory care. They kind of had a hybrid program in between assisted living and memory care, but they felt my dad needed a little more care than what they provided in that hybrid situation. However, if we were able to put him there, it would have been wonderful. They were professional, friendly, and informative. The facility was roomy. There's lots of areas for the residents to be able to go and move around. The room was sufficiently sized and clean. They had structured activities. It was perfect."

"My dad stayed at Sunrise Senior Living of Wilmington for respite care. It was an excellent facility. He loved it there. The staff members were all very open, helpful, and caring. The facility was very clean, very modern, and the structure was fine. There's a big list of activities, but I didn't see any of them. I know they had a men's group that my dad likes. The residents all seemed really happy. People were milling around socializing. It was really social. The size of the room was pretty. It was a twin-size bed, but there was plenty of room, the walk around the bed. His room was very bright and sunny. It was inviting."

"I visited 12 different senior living facilities before I chose Harbor Chase for my parents. I am so glad I did. The staff is genuinely caring and kind. The food is excellent and the entertainment committee goes above and beyond to ensure that the residents have a wide variety of activities and entertainment. The facility is small enough that the staff gets to know everyone and provides personalised care to the residents. I can't say enough good things about Harbor Chase!"

"Foulk Living has been caring for my parents like family! Their rooms are comfortable. The food is delicious and plentiful. But the best part about Foulk Living is the staff! My mother has dementia and has been at Foulk Living for over a year. Her nurses treat her with respect and dignity. She is dressed and clean. They interact with her to stimulate her brain. They love her in our absence. My father was brought to Foulk Living after rehab for a broken hip. Sadly, he was too weak to recover from his surgery. The staff at Foulk were so attentive to my father’s needs in his final days. Not only did they care for him, they cared for us as his family. We were encouraged to spend as much time with our father as we felt necessary. They made sure we ate and explained everything that was happening every step of the way. They even made sure that my mom was brought to my dad’s side so that they can have time together. They love my family and care for them physically as well as emotionally. Never did I expect the level of care and love we have experienced! Foulk Living and the staff are top notch. We could not have asked for a better partner in taking care of our parents during the difficulties of their lives!! Thank you Foulk Living for loving my parents and caring for us all!!!"

"We looked at a number of places and felt that Arden Courts would be the best. It was a good value with everything included in the price. For an institution, the food had good variety and was plentiful and accommodated those on a special diet. Most importantly, the staff was very helpful and caring and some of them went out of their way. While my father couldn't take advantage of them, there were many activities available for residents---day and evening. The rooms are drab but the common facilities and grounds are lovely. "

"I am a resident of Bellingham at West Chester. It's a very nice community, and very well set up. I love the way they have their meal plan set up there. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all available. For dinner, it's a white tablecloth restaurant that you go into. You can get a five-course meal at dinner if you choose or you can take and get a pizza or wings if you would like to. Compared to other communities in this area, it offers a very good value. It was completely redone for me before I moved in. The kitchen is small, but the kitchen has all new appliances in it. The luxury vinyl tile was put in the kitchen and living room, bathrooms, and a new very low-cut pile carpet was put in the bedroom. The entire apartment was painted. The apartment does have a balcony. I am at wheelchair level, and I can take and access the balcony with no problem with my wheelchair. The bathroom is not an issue. It was well designed with ADA standards which is very well incorporated into the bathroom. The people there have been very helpful. The sales manager has been tremendously helpful as far as getting me in and because of my situation, I haven't had any way to get much of my stuff moved, and they were able to take and provide me with the furniture and that sort of thing that I can take until my stuff gets there."

"My husband has been at Merrill Gardens at West Chester for a month now. The staff there is very competent and very much involved with my husband. They know him by name. He's not just a person there, they care for him. Anything we have asked of them, they have come through. The concierge people at the front desk are excellent. They are always in a good mood and very customer service oriented. Everybody is accessible from the manager to the head nurse, and they're always open to your visit. They have a diner where the residents can get their breakfast and lunch, and it's not just a stale type of dining room. They have a movie theater. Because they are at the end of the Brandywine Airport, they have what they call a control tower where you can go and see the planes land and take off, and they're encouraging the pilots to say hi to the residents that are there. And that is a big selling point. It is decorated with airplanes and stuff like that. They also have a lounge where 2 days a week you can have drinks, you can get together with friends, and the family can come in. It's completely open and the residents enjoy that. They have a little store that has the best presentation I have ever seen. They also have a place for you if you want to bring your family and have a private dinner with them. The surroundings of the building are kept very nice."

"I like the size of the apartments at Wellington at Hershey's Mill, both the one-bedroom apartment and the studio. They were spacious compared to the others. It looked pleasant. The woman that did the tour was excellent and very knowledgeable. I liked the restaurants and the activities they have for the residents. I also liked the proximity of the nurses to the areas that were in charge. They have a gym, a gathering area, and recreations."

"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 mom was a resident at sunrise. She had her ups and downs there. The room was ok. Part of the bathroom mirror was missing and wasn’t replaced. She complained about the food, but found things she liked on the menu. Alex the activity director sometimes brought lunch in for the residents. Alex put a lot of life into the facility. My mom had a great experience with two care takers, Justin and Latoya. They were both exceptional. All in all sunrise was a nice place to live."

"We toured Ingleside Retirement Apartments. I like how welcoming and friendly everyone was. It's like you went in there, and it felt like a home and not just a facility. It doesn't have any furniture in there. They do supply you with landline phones. So, in case anyone comes in with no phone, at least you have one. They have a laundry center. You can either do it, or they have services where people can do it for you. They offer a lot. They have a salon and a barber, and you get your nails done. They have a sports pub in the cafe, a theatre room, and an activity community room. They offer so much. It's amazing. They get three meals daily."

"My mother has moved into Springfield Crossings. She is doing very well. The staff members are awesome. We love them. She is in a newly renovated room, so it's nice. We're having some issues getting some maintenance done. As far as the facility itself, it's a bit older. It needs some work. The dining area is set up like a restaurant. I have not tried the meals, but my mother loves the food. They have lots of different activities. I think she has participated in some of them. They have bingo, music, movies, and crafts. They're right off the highway, so it's secure. It's reasonably priced."

"I visited a lot of assisted living places in New Castle County and ended up choosing the Lorelton and glad I did. They have many upgrades in progress that will make it even better. The administrator was very helpful with pricing and selection of the right apartment for my 96 year old Mother. My mother is checked on every hour or more. The food selection is great. She has only been there for four months and she is more alive and with it then ever. She is up and dressed before breakfast and ready for a full day of exciting activities. Simply the BEST !"

"My sister is a resident of Friends Home in Kennett. I like that she's so happy there. Everybody's very nice. She enjoys music and they have a lot of nice music programs and they encourage the people there to participate in the choir, which she enjoys. She has just a room with a bathroom. It's much more affordable than some of these places. I don't know what she does all day long, but right now she's out for rehab and she can't wait to get back. They play games, they take them on bus trips to different places, they have people come in to entertain them, and the fellow there that's in charge of the music is a wonderful singer and a piano player. They have a gathering room in the basement, a parlor, and a library. I'm very pleased with them. Everybody I've met has been very nice. She seems pretty pleased with the food. It's a very old building, but they've done a lot. They're working on it to fix it up. They keep it clean. It's right in the middle of town, so when a parade goes by, they get to sit on the porch and see it. Just different activities and schools come over and visit. They seem to be always busy doing something. Value for money is very good."
