Arbour Square at West Chester

Arbour Square at West Chester is absolutely beautiful, except for the rooms which are cracker boxes. They have a great big kitchen, which is crazy because you get your meals there. They take all the room for the kitchen, and there's just a little sitting room. Apparently, a man designed it because he wasn't thinking. They've got big hallways. They've got general stores. They've got this and that; but when it comes to the living facilities, they're just tiny. They have 1-bedroom and 2-bedrooms. They have weight rooms, activities, and everything. It's just they don't give you any space at all. There's outdoor spaces, and each room has a balcony. The staff was great. They were fine, and they gave us lunch. The food was good.

My father-in-law is in respite care at Arbour Square at West Chester. The place just has an appeal to it with the amenities, like the movie theater, the restaurant, and the diner that has 50s or 60s style. It is near an airport and he likes the plane coming in and stuff like that. He is getting his medication handled. He is independent with everything else; he does not get help with showers and anything like that. They are really great and very friendly. The staff are very attentive to him and just kind of go out of their way to check in on him. He is loving the food, but activities are a little tough with this whole COVID thing, but he is starting to be able to stay in some more stuff. It is a cute little venue. There is a lot for them to do and the airport is right there so they can go up to the top of the floor and see the airplanes take on and off if they like that.

Arbour Square at West Chester was a fantastic facility. It's brand new. It's a community of its own. It has two restaurants in the facility, a theater, and everything you need. You don't have to leave the complex. It has a general store, a bank, a salon, a barber shop, exercise facilities, and doctors and nurses that will come in and out. I liked it because it has both independent and assisted living. They have transportation and they will get you where you have to go, like to doctors' appointments. Their food was excellent. The gentleman that built this complex had parents who were handicapped and confined to wheelchairs. When he built the facility he took into consideration the elderly and handicapped people. It's first class. The staff member was excellent and very professional. The grounds and the building were immaculate. It's very well taken care of. They have good chefs and you can get a variety of meals. If you want to see shows or movies outside they'll take you, but they have their own movie theater in the facility. They'll also take you to casinos, malls, or museums. They have Bingo and card nights as well. The activities were wonderful.
