Kyffin Grove was beautiful but a little bit smaller. The only thing that my mom didn't like about it was it was more remote, but it was very clean and the staff was lovely. It was very nice and centrally located, but it's not within walking distance to some of the things my mom wanted to do. The grounds were gorgeous. I want to live there, honestly.

I visited this facility
I am from an outside agency and had the pleasure of visiting Sage's North Wales Senior Living Home, Kyffin Grove, several times recently for a networking event and some trainings. I was tremendously impressed with the cleanliness and attention to detail that I witnessed in the facility each time I went. Every time I came I was greeted at the door not only by a sweetheart of a receptionist, but by every staff member who happened to walk by. The staff who were engaged with the residents were pleasant and personable. (One staff greeted an older gentleman who had just come back inside from a walk, asked him how he was doing, said he must be chilly since it was so brisk outside, then took his hands in hers to warm him up. He was tickled pink and I about melted!) I couldn't get over the professionalism that I witnessed from the various staff, their genuine connection to their residents and the pride they clearly take in their work. We were treated to an array of gourmet delights (made on site by their own talented kitchen staff), and set up in a beautifully decorated room. I met some lovely ladies who live there and I asked them if it was always so nice there, or if they were just spoiling us as visitors. They said they have some of the best staff around and that they were always getting treated to various events and activities. (They bragged to me that they had just gotten some brand new stylish furniture, that they had a bistro on site and that they even had a private dining room for families at Kyffin Grove.) The staff that I had the pleasure of speaking with, (housekeepers up through administration), all had the same things to say about Sage, that they knew they worked for a company who invested in their employees as much as they invested in their residents. The Admins were super approachable and clearly have a good rapport with their staff. It felt more like I was visiting one big welcoming family rather than a facility. I have visited many assisted living facilities and nursing homes through-out my career, and Kyffin-Grove is by far one of the best I have seen.

My relative lives here and is happy with the room and with activities offered each day. There has been one serious event with medication, but fortunately, it seems to have been a one-time only occurrence (thus far). Complaints about the food are rampant, particularly as compared to menus offered under the previous management. They need a new chef, someone who understands nutrition and the needs of an elder population -- right now they just have someone who cooks -- I never heard of potatoes served with pasta!!! They have recently done some redecorating, which was ill-conceived considering the things that really need attention were neglected -- e.g., the doors need to be easier to open for residents -- I witnessed a resident on a walker falling onto concrete because the main doors are very heavy and don't always respond to the slight push that is supposed to open them -- ALL the doors should be easy to open. Concerns brought to the executive director get lip service, not true or verifiable attention. Turnover of staff has been constant. If my relative could move out, that would be ideal, but unfortunately, that is not an option. Management under Sage Living has without doubt not made any things better or even kept at the same level. Many on the nursing are super, caring, responsive people and we sincerely thank them.

My family member is a resident on the second floor, memory care unit. There has been a decline in quality of care since new ownership last fall. There has been increased staff turn-over, particularly at the nursing director position leading to communication and coordination of care failures. Staff morale is poor. Outside health care providers and agencies are having a hard time following residents’ progress and providing care. Administration claims to be well aware of this, but we’ve not seen true improvement over past few months.

My loved one lives here and we have been very disappointed since Sage Management took over the community last year. The leadership and upper management are weak, communication is poor, and trust levels between residents, caregivers and management is strained. There are and have been some wonderful aids and hands-on caregivers, but they seem to burn out quickly and leave. Turn over of staff is very high and the consistency of care is very low.
Attempts to address concerns with management have been pointless.
If you care about your loved one, find another community.

My friend's father lives at Kyffin Grove. She always has nice things to say about. Especially lately because they have a new chef. Her dad has started raving about the food. It was tough for her when they were getting ready to move him in because he had been in the hospital and then home and then rehab. they really were understanding and helpful through all of that. The staff there were really kind to him and made sure he made friends right away.

I saw Solana Horsham, but I was not crazy about it. It looked like a hotel. It was nice. I understood their philosophy, like the first floor was for people who did not need any help. The second floor was for people who needed a little more assistance, and the third floor was the dementia ward. I did not like it because you were up on the third floor without outdoor space. It was very small with a very small porch that you could barely sit on. However, it was a very beautiful place. They had a dining area on each floor.

Solana is fantastic. My uncle has been living there for a month or so. They have a nice property, great people working there, and terrific rooms. It’s a small senior living community. The dining area is very nice, and it’s not huge.

Solana Horsham is very nice place, and the staff is very warm. It’s kind of like living in a nice community hotel. The rooms and apartments are very nice and modern, and it’s a new facility. The dining room looks like a hotel. Father is in memory care, and he loves to walk. Environment is very nice and wonderful community. I would recommend it. Kylie -- who is the person that I dealt with -- is always available to you no matter what.

I went to The Solana Horsham. It was a high-rise building. It had more of an apartment building kind of feel to it. I think the apartments were OK. Nothing struck me particularly. The staff seemed nice enough and very friendly. I did not like the location that much.

My uncle and aunt needed to move to assisted living because my aunt was fading fast. 24-hour care in NY, where they lived, was too expensive. Solana Horsham, nearer to family, proved the best home for them both financially and because everything about it spoke to happy and caring employees and residents. The staff couldn't have been nicer and gentler; the food was fine and the snack bar area for "in betweens" was a caring and happy touch. Residents on all floors were well cared for and seemed happy. Many gave us such positive testimonials, it helped cement the deal. If your family needs assisted living, do not think twice: ask for Migdalia, and you will be very pleased.

We went to Solana. We loved it. Very, very, very nice place, but when the money is gone, you're gone. It's beautiful in there. Nice food. I would live there. It's brand new.

The treatment was excellent at The Solana. We loved everybody we met. Everything was spectacular. We liked the rooms. We liked the facility. Everything was very clean and modern. It made a very good first impression. There was a very nice movie theater there. There was an outdoor seating area for all the guests and there was a monthly Sunday brunch that is offered, which is a very nice option.

The staff at Solana Horsham was very helpful and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the whole experience. It is a new place and they have nice rooms. There were different sized rooms. My mother is in an ALF in North Carolina and she has a corner room, which is huge. I was looking for something like that. They did have a couple of rooms like that at The Solana. Overall, they were all very nice rooms, very clean, and very well lit. Actually, they showed us everything. We also saw all the different types of rooms that they can go into as far as activities. They did have a library, a television room, and an activity room where residents can do puzzles, etc. They even had like sunroom up on the upper floors where people could sit, just like a solarium. Overall, the physical building itself and how it was laid out, I would rate that a 5. It is a beautiful building. Also it is protected, meaning the dementia patients wouldn't be able to get out of the building. If I had to move my mother, this is the place where I would move her to.

I toured this facility to see if it would be a good place for a family member. The Solana's facilities are clean and attractive. The resident's rooms are laid out nicely, and the dining room is beautiful. I observed that the residents seemed to feel settled and happy there. The residents seemed to interact well with each other, and the staff knew the residents by name and seemed to be kind and accommodating to them. Our family is seriously considering The Solana for our loved one.

The facility is beautiful, but our family was given a lot of misinformation regarding the facility. They told us one thing before we signed the paperwork and collected the $3,000 entrance fee, then on day of arrival change their story. They told us our room was ready and we spent an entire day (sunday) setting up the room for our loved one, only to find that when we arrived on Monday, all the furniture was switched. They told us the furniture that was there on Sunday was furniture for a model room, and if we wanted that furniture, there would be an up charge (never mentioned this to us). There were many other inconsistencies with their information. Hopefully the quality of care will be better than their welcoming committee!

I found Solana from a senior directory. I visited the place and it's very clean. The residents as well as the staff are very friendly. The food was good. There were no smell and I found it to be a pleasant place. The accommodations were very nice and the rooms are really nice. The options and the activities were good.

The Solana Horsham was a top notched and brand new facility. It had beautiful rooms. The staff were very competent. If it was my choice, I'd go there. However it was way out of our price range. I would recommend them to others.

My mom lived at Solana. I chose it because of the location and price. It was near my workplace. The staff were accomodating, experienced, knowledgeable and sensitive. My mother was in a companion suite. It had two beds and large windows. The bathroom was shared with another resident. The room was just big enough for the basic furnitures. The food was very health conscious. They provided whatever food the residents enjoyed and liked. My mom had no complaints.
