DMc8 2020-08-17 I am a long-time resident of The Heritage of Green Hills (8 years). For over two years, I have been a weekly, sometimes bi-weekly, volunteer at The Green Hills Manor. I look forward to seeing my friends there and playing games, especially bingo, doing manicures and crafts, and laughing and singing together. I have truly missed being able to see the folks there during this long lock down due to COVID-19. I am/was a resident of this facility

VR 2019-12-04 My mother has moved into Green Hills Manor at The Heritage. So far, so good. They offer assistance with getting dressed, bathing, and personal hygiene. The accommodation is very adequate. The facility is very clean and very well taken care of. The food is good. The dining area has just been remodeled, and it's very nice. It's three levels, and they are all private rooms. They have community rooms and a dining facility. It's very accessible and not too far out in the country. The driving time is very convenient. It's very adequate for what they charge. The staff is very good. I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

RCL 2018-08-27 Not enough time in a day. Recently we invited thirty for a day time activity. The event was a week away. Eighty percent of the people had conflicts and could not come. The other activities ranged from outside the building volunteering to card or board games that were plannedperiod I am/was a resident of this facility

JeanS4 2020-09-15 My wife and I became residents of The Heritage of Green Hills in November 2015. We both required medical care occasionally, but in 2018 she was diagnosed with dementia. I cared for her as much as I could, but in January 2019 I had to admit her to the Green Hills Manor. She was admitted at minimum care level but was later moved to higher care and passed away in June 2020. At the Manor, she received excellent care and I visited her three or four times per week until the coronavirus came along and made visiting more difficult. She was always bathed, dressed, and well fed. Her doctor visited her on a regular basis. I would recommend Green Hills Manor to anyone needing that kind of care. I am/was a resident of this facility

Edward 2020-03-23 I visited The Heritage of Green Hills. It is really large, which is not desirable for me. It is clean and modern. The food is very good. I have eaten there several times. Everybody is very friendly there. Even the residents are extremely friendly. Everybody seemed to be happy there. The rooms are a good size, but they aren't quite as spacious as other rooms I've seen. They have activities. They have plenty of social activities and bus trips. I visited this facility

Frances 2019-03-19 I have been living here at The Heritage of Green Hills for over a year now. I'm very pleased with what I have. It is a very friendly and very community-oriented type of organization. We have resident council and resident committee. We have many activities to participate in. We have an excellent dining place like a full restaurant where we order from a menu. We have a tavern for socialization, and for eating as well, both for dinner and for lunch. I can't speak more highly about the staff members. They're very much part of our community. People are helping one another. It is very community-oriented yet it respects your privacy. You can do whatever you want, and you come and go as you please. The management staff is very accommodating. If you have any special needs, e.g., ride for the doctor or if something doesn't go the way you expected it to, they help you out. Everybody here very friendly. If you can't be totally independent, you can have a personal care person come in and care for your personal needs. You can have assisted living as well. If you reach a point with dementia, we have a dementia unit. If you need specials from hospitalization, you can also go there temporarily and come back to your apartment. The community is not huge, so you don't get caught in a major bureaucracy. We don't have that, which is wonderful. You can have your hair and/or your nails done. There are doctors onsite once a week. They have a game room, a gym, a big olympic-size pool, an arts room, and an exercise room. Many of the residents here are members of the Lions Club. They invite outside folks in here for events. I am/was a resident of this facility

Bob 71 2018-09-04 We've lived at the Heritage for 2-1/2 years. We have a 2 bedroom with den on the top floor with a wonderful view. The staff and residents are extremely friendly. I am on several committees and several activities (water volley ball, brain/body building/movies, woodshop, and exercise. The food is outstanding and we have an indoor pool, exercise room, art studio, gym, and other outdoor activities. If you are walking down the hall and someone doesn't say hello, they don't live here. Very happy we moved here. I am/was a resident of this facility

John036224 2017-04-14 The Heritage of Green Hills was everything we were looking for. The staff was very nice. The rooms and apartments were nice. We looked at a 1-bedroom with a den, and it would have been sufficient for us. The whole place was really nice. I visited this facility

JenniferA 2016-12-07 The Heritage is a lovely facility. They provide many activities for active seniors and it is a friendly environment with wonderful residents. Please, just make sure your loved ones can afford to live there. This is a buy-in and you need to make sure that you have a 3rd party financial advisor helping you with your decision. Do NOT rely solely on your own judgements or on the Heritage's judgements as to whether you can afford to live there or not. My parents were given incentives to sell their house and were told by the Heritage's financial department that they could afford to live there. However, this was a short-sighted venture. They took the money from my parent's home that they lived in for over 30 years and then with the monthly payments, dwindled there savings down to nothing. To continue to stay there it was suggested that they could give my parents assistance if they sold their car and gave them the money for it. Hence, no money OR freedom. PLEASE seek help from a 3rd party financial advisor. My parents now have to move. Again. And the new living environment is not going to be quite so lovely, I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

The rooms had a lot of variety in types and sizes -- excellent layouts. It was really a nice place. I visited this facility

PaulL 2015-09-23 This is an excellent choice in independent living for retirees. There are many different apartments styles and sizes and a "villa" which are attached homes with a garage. There are two dining rooms and a bar. The Tavern is more informal and used for breakfast, lunch and buffets. The Brandywine is the main dinner venue. The menu changes every day, but has some permanent items also. My apartment has two bedrooms, two baths, a large dining-living room area and a galley kitchen. Decor is up to the resident. The community is very active. The Heritage has a gym and a swimming pool. An exercise room has many choices and is also an in-house movie theater! People like the place because everyone is friendly and open. The residents are encouraged to join the many committees which helps residents have programs they would like and can comment to management about needs and changes. When I moved here in 2011, I made the right choice and the right time. I am/was a resident of this facility

active senior 2013-08-10 The Heritage of Green Hills is a warm and friendly place with both apartments and villas. It is small enough so everyone gets to know each other but large enough to provide multiple activities to get physically and mentally fit. It's resort living in a caring community.

Provider Response

Thank you so much for the five-star review! Your volunteer work speaks volumes about the character of seniors who live at our community. You and your peers truly go above and beyond for each other, and we're certain the residents at Green Hills Manor miss you dearly as well. We're looking forward to when the pandemic ends so we can all get together again.

It's such a joy to have your mother with us, and we're pleased your initial experience has been nothing but positive. We do our absolute best to make sure all residents are comfortable and treated with the same compassion, dignity and respect we'd expect for members of our own family. Thank you for sharing such kind words about our team members and services. We hope you and your mother continue to be impressed by everything Green Hills Manor at The Heritage has to offer.

Provider Response

There are so many components to overall health and wellbeing, and we try to provide our residents with opportunities to fulfill them all. With a range of on and off-site programs and opportunities, we create a daily schedule that aims to stimulate, educate, challenge and entertain. We're proud to say the phrase, "There's just nothing to do," is not a familiar one on our campus.

Please accept our deepest condolences on your wife's passing. She was a valued member of our community and her loss was felt by all of us in The Heritage/Green Hills Manor family. During such a challenging time for you and your family, we're thankful we were able to provide her the care she needed on site while giving you peace of mind she was well supported. We're grateful for your kind feedback, and the five years you been with us. If there's anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to let us know.

We appreciate your kind words about our wonderful residents, our diverse amenities and the fun-filled lifestyle we offer here. While we may be larger than some communities you've visited, we're a family here and the friendly, welcoming people you met are certainly indicative of that.

And we're very happy you moved here as well, Bob! We can't thank you enough for your contributions to Green Hills Manor. You and all the other committee volunteers are crucial to making sure programs and activities run efficiently and resident input and perspective are included. We're delighted we've been able to support such an active lifestyle since you moved in nearly three years ago, and hope we're able to continue to help you get the most out of your retirement.

About The Heritage of Green Hills

The Heritage of Green Hills is a healthy, life plan community geared toward seniors 55+ years in age located in the suburbs of Reading, PA. Independent living residents take advantage of our Well By Design program. This is a body, mind, spirit program which focuses on 8 dimensions of wellness. Independent living residents are healthy, active seniors who enjoy living in a casual, fun environment. Our Well Designed Home Care program allows independent living residents to remain in the residence as long as they prefer. Home care can be provided right in their apartment or villa, allowing couples to remain together longer and also allows residents to remain independent as long as possible. Personal care and secure memory care is also provided on campus. Professionally licensed nurses deliver the highest quality of care in a home-like environment. A new health center is currently being developed with an anticipated completion in 2022.

What Makes Us Special

Friendly, casual environment in a peaceful setting. The Well By Design program is executed differently than most other senior living communities. Programs like bull riding in the all-season pool, belly dancing, parties and more. This community is a 4-time winner as the best senior living community in Berks County.
