The Hill at Whitemarsh

I probably would give 5 stars to The Hill at Whitemarsh, but it is very expensive. However, that was what I was looking for: assisted living for my mother. It was beautiful. It had all the bells and whistles.

Driving into the Hills is the first glance of what is a beautiful community on lovely, sprauling grounds. Upon the drive to the main buildings, you would simply think you had entered an upscale over 55 community! There are gorgeous villas and cottages for those living independantly, and there are other options for care as needs for skilled care comes into play. Many activities are available, and there is just about anything you might want right on site, including a theatre, a fitness center, and an aquatic area. The common areas are so well decorated, one would think they were at an upscale hotel. There is a feeling of class and upscale throughout the facility. However, putting aside the beauty and activites, let me address the care. This staff is far and wide one of the most experienced and dedicated I have seen in my travels in care communities. Residents come first and are treated with care, respect and dignity. A woman resident who had moved from a large home to come to The Hills still needs to look her best, and it was hearwarming to see her aid willing to make sure she was dressed to the nines for dinner. I was laughing with her as she brought in the earring from which the lady could choose. This may have seemed small, but to this woman who was used to a certain lifestyle...it was very important, and helped her through this next stage of life. It is not hard to see the entire staff puts their best foot forward to make this community one of the top in the area.I would recomment this highly!
