I have visited many long term care facilities before we chose Belle Reve in Milford, Pa.
to care for our Mom. We found that there was a personal attention at Belle Reve that did not exist in the other facilities. Every member of the staff, from the Executive Director to the maintenance crew, is committed to making Mom's stay feel as if she were in her own home, My mother was kept safe during the pandemic, she was quickly vaccinated when vaccines became available, and despite the fact that she was not allowed visitors, her caregivers kept us apprised of her daily progress. Our Mom suffers from dementia and continues to lose her cognitive ability but staff at Belle Reve keeps her engaged, motivated, happy, and safe. She regularly sees a doctor who never hesitates to order blood work, x-rays, or other testing when he deems necessary. All testing done immediately with rapid results. As a result, Mom is getting stronger at 90 years old. When the time comes for me to chose assisted living, I would happily choose Belle Reve for myself

Our mom has received wonderful care at Belle Reve. The entire staff is dedicated, kind and personally attentive to mom’s changing needs. Dining, personal care, nursing, activities, maintenance, OT, PT, housekeeping, receptionists, and administrators all keep her safe and happy as well as keeping our family informed and involved. This has been the best decision we made when mom couldn’t live by herself anymore. She loves having her own furnishings with her and we love how social she is now in her new home. Thank you to all in Belle Reve!

My Mom was a resident of Belle Reve (she recently passed away) and resided in the Memory Care Unit. The staff was extremely attentive and the unit was very clean. The fact that this is not a huge facility made it a more personal experience for not only my Mom, but also our family. We were always advised of Mom's status and any questions we had regarding not only her care but the business end of her stay also were always answered. I highly recommend Belle Reve to care for your family members.

Upon entering Belle Reve's lobby I was greeted by a sign welcoming me by name. Joe LaCorte came to the beautiful lobby and provided a very thorough tour of this facility. I was impressed by the variety of activities and well mainted common rooms, physical therapy room and that the focus was to keep residents as active as possible. Each of the private and semi private rooms I saw were immaculate and well maintained. The staff was very professional and kind. Residents looked very well cared for. It was not too big of a place for anyone to get lost in the shuffle. It had a very "homey" not institutionalized appearance. I would feel very confident of a parent in need of assistive care living here.

My Mom was a resident at both the Skilled Nursing Facility and the assisted Living facility on 2 separate occasions. The staff, nurses, aids, social worker, therapists were all amazing. My mom was in a clean, lively environment, and was meticulously cared for during both of her stays. The food is amazing, the facility impeccable, and the care second to none.
In addition, the adminstrative details of 2 stays in this type of facility can be daunting. But the social worker Nancy, guided me through every step of the way and made a stressful situation much easier to experience.
I would recommend this facility with my whole heart to anyone who needs top notch care/assistance.

My aunt is a resident here and she is happy with her room, care, food and new friends she has made since moving in. I am very satisfied with Belle Reve, the staff and the care my aunt is receiving.

Belle Reve was fantastic. I love that the rooms were nice, and the dining area was gorgeous. The staff has been very nice. It’s very clean. It seemed like they had activities going on every day.

What I like about Belle Reve is they don’t have their residents just sitting around in wheelchairs as supposed to other senior residences. They have a lot of activities for them everyday. The staff seemed very caring and nice. The place was clean and there was no bad smell and the residents looked happy.

My mother is in Belle Reve. It has three levels of care. Everybody is wonderful, and the residents are well cared for. Everything is clean and spotless. They offer daily activities. Everybody says the food is wonderful; they do not understand how the chef makes it so good! It is accessible to a hospital and shopping areas. I will give them a recommendation.

Belle Reve is very well run, extremely clean, and has a good meal plan. We chose it for my mother-in-law because it's affordable and it's closer to my home. They can choose from four or five things on the menu. They have private rooms, shared rooms, and private rooms with shared bathrooms. They do bingo, trivia, exercise class, outings, shopping, and they have a beauty salon there. What stood out was it didn't smell like urine, and the staff is very nice.

Belle Reve was very nice. It was a little bit more restricted. The rooms were all the same. It was not as expensive as the other ones I visited.
Provider Response
Thank you for visiting Belle Reve Senior Community. We are glad you recognized our community as a cost-effective option for seniors while offering a continuum of care. However, we would love to understand what part of our services you thought were ‘restrictive’. We do have a secure memory-care environment, but that is for the safety of our residents. We also have lots of different options for rooms/apartments ~ private apartments, shared apartments, studios, suites, etc. We’d love to have you come back in so that we can show all Belle Reve has to offer!

My mother was at this facility for two years. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and we were unable to take care of her, was in Memory care, unluckily because of economic situation we were forced to take her home. I just have to say that Belle Reve finally hired people that really care for the facility resident. One clear example is one of the aids which name is Georgina she is wonderful. During my respective visit to the facility, I noted that as she arrived to the facility she great each resident with hugs and kisses. I think she is doing an excellent job, because these people need love and that lady is giving to them. I hope that you continue hiring workers than her. Balle Reve now you are doing good job, because you hired qualify person for Memory care. However, PC you need to make some change. Hire people that real want to work with nice attitude.

this facility seemed a little noisy. Not as peaceful as some of the others we have looked at. The staff there was very
Friendly and the director was very pleasant and did a wonderful job going over everything. This facility is second on our list of 4 possibles. Warm friendly staff.

Facility seemed clean and orderly, nurses seemed attentive though occasionally were absent at inappropriate times. Residents seemed well cared for, though some were listless and others were very bored. Could use some brightening up (change fluorescent bulbs), some decorations, etc. Food should be more tailored to the needs of senior citizens (omega-3, folate, and other micronutrient dense foods should be used).

The staff there are sooo nice its not even funny. They will do every single little thing my grandmother asks for. The facilities are beautiful. There are gardens out side and they let all the enrolled people walk around and play little games like table tennis, etc. Even the inside of the building is great, except the bathrooms are a little iffy sometimes. All the elderly people seem like they love it there due to the beauty of the facility and the ability to go wherever they want to on the entire site. The gardens are a huge plus because they make everyone's day. Back to the staff though, they are mostly volunteers. Even though they are volunteers, they dearly care for all the citizens enrolled and are willing to wake up in the middle of the night to assist them in going to the bathroom, changing TV channels, etc. Great place overall.

My grandmother was admitted into this assisted living home about five years ago, and has been there ever since. I am quite happy with the facilities; indeed, they are always exceptionally clean and the staff is helpful and friendly. Unlike many assisted living facilities, this one was bright, well-lit, and seemed like a pleasant place to spend your final years. I had the opportunity to eat in the facilities provided on several occasions, and the food was tasty and seemed of good quality. The administrators here are exceedingly helpful, and really care about their residents. Grandma is very happy there, and I was happy sending her there. I have no real complaints, other than the fact that I wish there was a comparable facility more conveniently located; as such, that's really a comment on the quality of facilities in general, not this specific one. This is a great place, and I would recommend it to anyone considering an assisted living facility.

After noticing the negative reviews about Belle Reve on this site, I decided it was important to acknowledge all the wonderful aspects of Belle Reve I have experienced over the past year. A year ago, my family and I made the tough decision to have my mom become a resident of an Assisted Living facility. We currently live in Milford and knew of Belle Reve from some of our neighbors. From the moment I walked in the front lobby, I could feel the warmth and courteousness from the staff and immediately felt more at ease. The entire process from the initial tour to the day my mom moved into Belle Reve was painless and comfortable. I can proudly say that my entire family and most importantly my mom are very pleased with all aspects of Belle Reve. My mom receives round the clock availability to care, delicious meals and is more active than she has been in years. With that said, I would recommend Belle Reve to anyone interested in looking for Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Care.

Would NOT Recommend this place!
We picked Belle Reve to try assisting living for our elderly mother because it *seemed* like a nice place. What a terrible mistake we made! The one and only acceptable thing there was the food. The staff made MULTIPLE serious medical errors that we believe directly resulted in our family member having to be hospitalized. Problem after problem there forced us to take our failing mother back home because we feared for her health and well being. The administration is rude and impossible to get a hold of, their record keeping and billing practices are dubious and don't hold your breath waiting for a nurse after 3:00 pm because there are none on the assisted living floor. They hire high school kids with foul mouths to run almost everything "“ including handing out meds and pain killers- without any real supervision or management around. Check their records with the state here, http://www.dpw.state.pa.us/ServicesPrograms/ChildCareEarlyEd/003682296.aspx?reportid=20665&fac=BELLE%20REVE, in the last three years they have been cited repeatedly for a number of very serious errors, hazards and mistakes and this is only what was caught. I wish we had done better research before choosing Belle Reve in Milford, PA. We would NEVER recommend that facility to anyone.

I spent a week in rehab at Belle Reve after a hospital stay. Never having been to such a facility I was apprehensive. However I was treated like a family member. The nurses, aides, office staff and the physical therapists were wonderful. If I needed to buzz for assistance at any hour, someone was there in minutes. The therapists guided gently but firmly to strengthen me (balance, legs & arms) , to prepare me for discharge. Glad I chose Belle Reve.

My mom is at Belle Reve, and the staff is extremely polite, very kind, and provide care one on one. She is in the dementia area, but the residents are able to get in and out around freely, but the staff keep an eye on them. They also take residents from their rooms to the dining area or bring them to entertainment, like music and dancing. They have clean rooms, like a hotel. Their food is delicious and freshly cooked every day. I am extremely relieved that my mom is in a good place.

I visited Belle Reve in February before the pandemic. The rooms were clean and spacious
The staff were fantastic. I would like to pay special praise for the director of the memory care unit. She is devoted to the people in her unit. My wife enjoyed BINGO and playing with the animated cats.

I want to make sure you all at Belle Reve know how much you are appreciated for the day after day job you do. I'm sure everyone whose loved ones you care for feels the same way. Your place is sooooo much better than any other I've ever been to and I've visited a few. I've been telling people since January how great Belle Reve is, not just the place itself but more importantly your staff. Everyone I've come in contact with since January from the maintenance man to the front desk staff to Simone and anyone I've talked to on the phone, everyone has been wonderful. I only wish my mom had more time to spend with you. I hope I live home until I'm 100 but if I need to spend a few years somewhere besides home, I hope it's Belle Reve.
