Priority Life Care

He doing well, as well as can be expected with his problems and so forth. He has a double room, like a nursing home. For what it is they are very nice and neat and clean. The people seem to be very nice and thoughtful and caring. Rehab is nice, and they have all kinds of rehab for them. Everyone there is a very high level of care, and they are able to handle all of them.

I have been doing very well here, it's been five month. The people are very nice, and it's very friendly atmosphere. I have my own apartment, and the building is very nice. The food is very good most of the time. They have activities all the time; they have shopping, they have a singing group, and different local choirs come in to perform. I am in independent living, but there are care services available to those that need them. Transportation is included.

This is independent living. They had lots of activities! I live in California, so I was only there for a week while my mom lived there. Sometimes if the regular chef is not there, dinners and lunches were not great, and I think that the meals are something that the residents really look forward to so they are extremely important. Other than that, nothing else to improve on! I loved University Pines because of the other residents. They took my mom in immediately. Everybody just welcomed her and showed her around and showed her how to get around on the van to go shopping. Real sense of community there. I can't say enough good things about it. My mom passed away in the beginning of October, and the residents reached out to me and my family, came to the funeral, and sent flowers even after knowing her for such a short time. The first time I walked into University Pines, I knew immediately that it was the right place for her.

This property really lives to its reputation as gracious living for retirees.

MY WIFE AND I CARE FOR MY 88 YEAR OLD MOTHER AT OUR HOME. SHE CAN GET AROUND WITH A WALKER AND MOSTLY CARES FOR HERSELF, BUT WE DO NOT LEAVE HER ALONE. WE FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO FIND SOME ONE WHO COULD CARE FOR HER IF WE WANTED A VACATION. WE HEARD ABOUT "A PLACE FOR MOM", CONTACTED THEM AND WERE REFERED TO BRENTWOOD AT HOBART. WHAT A WONDERFUL PLACE. WE TOURED AND WERE ABLE TO PLACE MY MOTHER FOR A TWO WEEK STAY. WE AND MY MOTHER ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE CARING AND HELPFUL STAFF. THE ACCOMODATIONS ARE LIKE A RESORT. MOTHER IS LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEXT VACATION.

It is an independent living facility. They have activities, but it is up to the residents to participate. They have bingo and movies, and they do various forms of exercise. The food gets monotonous after awhile. That has been the feedback I have received from my mom.

It was a very nice place, very friendly and open. My dad actually passed before he made it there, but I would recommend it to someone else though, definitely.

My Husband and I just spent 3 days at this beautiful Residence. We met and spoke to several residents. 99% of them were very pleased and happy that they were there. The food was very good. The presentation was nice. The Chef came out at every meal to speak to the people eating. We were very pleased with our apt. it was clean and nice. Lots of things to do. Entertainment everyday. The Bus takes residents shopping to malls and doctor appts. Of course, some People do not want to get up at 8 o'clock for breakfast. every apt. has a regular size refridgerator, sink and their own Microwave for their own use. Needless to say after looking at several Residences, we were very pleased with Venetian Gardens We hope to be able to move into our apt. in the near future. The Operating Staff couldn't be nicer. Very informative .

After looking at several facilities, I selected Elmcroft of Reading. Elmcroft's on-site leadership is incredible, the staff are exceptionally friendly and competent, the resident care is amazing. There are plenty of activities, and the residents seem genuinely happy to be there. The nursing care is professional and completely in tune with residents' needs. The leadership team at Elmcroft is very involved with residents; they know their names, their preferences, their habits. At 92, my mother was dead set against an assisted living facility. She was spending a fortune on in-home care that didn't completely satisfy her ever-increasing needs. Within a few weeks of being at Elmcroft, Mom started calling it "home". She's more engaged in life and is thrilled that she can once again enjoy her favorite pastime of pitching horseshoes! All I can say is...WOW!

I highly recommend Las Palmas as an independent living "home." Everyone has been so wonderful, caring, committed and welcoming, it made the choice for Mom very easy. The food is delicious with ample portions at every meal including being able to choose from a variety of entrees. The staff goes above and beyond the call of duty to make sure everyone is well taken care of regardless of how simple or difficult the request or need may be. This was a great choice for us and we are grateful for the hospitality afforded our family during the transition for our mom who is a recent widow. They assisted with all our needs from budget, to decorating, painting, etc. They helped Mom to acclimated to a community style living and she is adjusting nicely. We are very pleased with everything Las Palmas has to offer. Thank you.

We visited this community on Tuesday, Oct. 8 and we waited for Rick McPhillips who was to be our guide thru the community. We spent some time in the main floor area while another associate looked for him...took about 15 minutes. We then spent time in the main dining and first floor commons areas which included a large dining room, meeting room, private dining room, craft/computer/kitchen area, and atrium. Smoking is allowed in the individual apts. and outside but not in the common areas. We were then shown a 1 BR apt. that was furnished and a two BR apt. unfurnished. They appear large and comfortable and include screened porches or balconies. There is a common laundry room (no coins needed) on each floor in each wing. There is no ALF but people can be treated by home health care providers via Medicare in their apts. EVERYONE seemed very friendly and we visited with MANY residents who all seemed to be on the payroll because they couldn't say enough good things about it. We ate a nice dinner, not as plentiful as at Benton Village but quite enough. The apts. come automatically with a 3 meal plan, no other options. The apts. have kitchenettes but there are several full kitchens available to use in the community. There is a selection at each meal. There is a chapel with services provided by resident choice. Transportation is provided free of charge M-F but not on weekends. There is a community club house next to the screened in and heated outdoor pool and gas grill. Paths circle the wooded community and it seems very private. There are 10 - 2 BR villas around the main apt. complex which are very large, face a common parking lot, and back up to the woods. There are 2 baths and one garage and a full kitchen but it is probably too big for my parents. Overall, we liked this better than Benton because of the friendliness of the residents. We disliked it because you must pay for three meals whether you like it or not. We will definitely return to this community with my parents.

We,re happy with Elmcroft of Alison Park. Very clean and nice rooms. Good Staff very friendly. Easy to get along with. Comfortable and Cozy.

She liked it but it's like anything else, if you're not doing it yourself, the cooking, the cleaning, etc. it's not the same. They just want to moan about something but she was happy and she was there for about 6 years.

I knew when I walked in the door that this would be a place for my Mom. Frank Sinatra was singing in the living room, everyone was smiling. This was it. I toured about six communities and, although each place had its good point, Brandywine Senior Living at Dresher Estates had it all. The decor matched my my Mom's, the staff was friendly and smiling, the residents were smiling. Brandywine is a 5-star community. A place for MY Mom.

WE WERE IMPRESSED WITH THE FACILITIES. BRENDA?, OUR TOUR GUIDE WAS VERY FREINDLY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. SHE IS A VERY GOOD REPRESENTATIVE OF BRENTWOOD. WE WOULD RATE THIS FACILITY VERY HIGHLY.

Loved it loved it loved it. My loved one became way too impared and needed to move. They went out of their way though to help them, they were just really crabby and mean. Jeff was wonderful, their staff, boy, they are top notch and its a great value for the money. We hired people to take care of my loved one, they had an in house program, but they became too disabled to be there. It is a very beautiful place, very well run, but I felt it had just become too unsafe for my loved one.

I think the care is excellent, but here's the [removed] my father, when he first came in, he was experiencing sundowning; so if you're a family member they really appreciate your willingness to work with them so they can understand your family members. I think if you're not engaged and you just leave the person there it won't work. The staff tries to do everything they can but you have to be willing as a family member to do your part. Chris Peters, who's in charge, really just wanted to the business and he made every effort to make it work for me and my loved one. We did have many frank coversations about how impared my loved one is and I think that Chris is the one that is key to making things work. If they have a concern about a medical thing they will call me until they get ahold of me, the foods great, the kitchen staff's wonderful, it's immaculate and very very nice.

Excellent. If we were going to change facilities. The only negative is there is not a lot of diversity among the residents.

Place was attractive, well maintained. Slight odor in some places. Everyone is mixed together.

I chose it becuse it's close to my house. My dad has been there for four weeks so it might be too soon to rate it. I know they have bingo but he's not into that. He's adjusting pretty well - it was a major transition for him to move 1200 miles and give up his car. The food is good.
