Assisted Living Communities in Philadelphia, PA

"We toured Springfield Senior Living. I liked it because it was a small community, and it was very clean. The residents looked happy and satisfied. It's well-staffed. The person at the front desk was very interactive, very personable, and very professional. We did not have to wait. They came right out. The marketing person or admissions person came right out to greet us. Our tour was very good. When we went to the memory care floor, the staff greeted us. They didn't just ignore people coming through, and so that was good. They had a lot of activities for the residents to participate in. They had a pool table. They had an outdoor sitting area that was very well-kept, and very nice. So, I liked it."

"As to the staff at Wesley Enhanced Living they are professional. Her room is clean and spacious for her. She loves it. Their dining room is very clean, and they serve them good food. They provide exercise, and they allow me to take her out. "

"My mother has been a resident in the assisted living side of this home for about 2 years. She recently had a fall, and I was notified within 30 minutes! They took her to the ER via Ambulance, and I got calls from Riverview, the EMTs during transport and then from the hospital. She is back now in the rehab side of the home, and is being treated carefully and kindly. The nursing staff is excellent, they all seem to love their work and their clients. I have gotten all concerns addressed ASAP. The location is wonderful, right on the banks of the Delaware River. I live in another state (Mom's choice not to move out of her area, where she has lived since 1955) and there are 4 basic but clean and quiet guest rooms, for only $30.00 a night. This makes my visits with mom less stressful for me, and I'm able to participate in all her activities and dine with her (for a very small fee). I would highly recommend Riverview Estates. "

"When we went to Sunrise of Abington, it was fairly clean, and the people were nice and cordial. The facility seemed to need some minor repairs, but I think they are working on those. The rooms were acceptable. "

"The staff at Sunrise of Haverford all seemed very friendly. I was very impressed with the salesperson who was showing me around. He was very warm and approachable and answered a lot of questions that I had and introduced me to the staff while we were walking around. I saw a few rooms; they looked comfortable. There was a small lounge which was well stocked with fruits, snacks, and popcorn, and I thought it was quite lovely. "

"I did a tour of Sunrise of Lafayette Hill. The staff and the people were very helpful, caring, and insightful. It looks very nice and perfectly suitable. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. The staffing was excellent, which is what I was more concerned about. My focus was the staff, and they're impressive. They were incredibly impressive. The residents there seem to really be comfortable and enjoying their experience there. It is a good environment. There was a beauty salon, and they had all the appropriate amenities there."

"Sunrise of Dresher was very nice. It looked like an excellent facility, very clean, and other than the cost, I would rate it as a four. The facility I would rate as a five, but I thought their cost and different fees for different items were high. We saw the rooms and the dining facilities; we got a tour of the whole facility. We did talk to one of their staff and he seemed very amenable and very friendly. "

"I visited Oakwood Residence for my sister. It was very nice and clean. The people were nice. I like the area; it was clean and nice. However, my sister was not qualified. The rooms were beautiful. They were remodeled. It was a beautiful place. Their dining room was very nice. They had nice table clothes. It looked like a restaurant. I would recommend Oakwood. The people seemed happy, and the facility was very nice. "

"The Quadrangle was very nice. The day before my visit, the gentleman I talked to said that we could have lunch and meet a few residents, but that didn't happen. He showed me the room, though. They had a painting studio, an arts and crafts room, a yoga room, a gym, and a pool."

"We toured Pinnacle at Plymouth Meeting, and I liked it the most. They have a movie theater. It's not like a standard assisted living place, but it seems like you go to the mall, where there are a lot of activities, restaurants, barbers, and doctors, and everything is very convenient. It had a studio and was too small, but the one-bedroom was adequate. They had a full-size refrigerator. It was a very nice facility and worth checking out, and the food was pretty good."

"I would say that this is the best facility for senior people that i have ever been to. I visit this place every week with my friend and we really have a very good time there. We made lot of new friends. The staff and the people are really caring. They take care of people as their own. You have one and two bedroom studios and the place is like a hotel with all the amenities. All rooms feature private bathrooms, walk-in closets and sparkling new full size kitchen. Individually controlled thermostats are just one of the many added touches that ensure that each resident is provided with all the comforts of home.All the people enjoy enjoy three delectable, nutritionally balanced, gourmet meals each day, served in a restaurant style atmosphere. I really like this place. I would like to spend my old age here for sure. "

"We toured Springfield Crossings. The people there were extremely nice. We got to speak to a number of the residents, and they had positive things to say about the community. The facility looked like it was well laid out and would meet the needs of the assisted living that we thought we needed for our father. I did not see any residents doing activities. There was a generally open area and a dining facility. The residents were holding a meeting during the time we were there. The facility was clean and they were in the process of updating the rooms and hallways."

"My dad will move to Brandywine Living at Senior Suites. I like the feel of the place, I felt that it was appropriate for my father. I felt like some of the rooms were a little bit dark, and some were better. What stuck out was that the air conditioning was the ugly part of the room. The community is beautiful and the staff that I met was wonderful, they showed me the whole place. The main entrance living room area, the dining area, they have a theater room, and like a nice bar lounge. They also have a courtyard, though I thought the courtyard could use a little life. Maybe adding a comfortable shading out there would be nice."
