Viva Senior Living

Things are going great with her. I was just down there to visit the other day. The staff is friendly and kind and the facility is always very clean. They have a great level of care and great caregivers here.

She started in the memory care facility, but Belle Reve felt she was misplaced and so they placed her in an assisted living community and she has adjusted very well, so I am impressed with the staff for noticing that.

Our experience with Spring Meadows of Lansdale has been a very good one, so far! I live out of state, so I don't get a chance to visit often, but I've heard nothing but good things from my relatives! My loved one can be very picky, but the staff here has really bent over backwards helping her feel welcome and get settled in. We really couldn't be happier with them!

Greenfield is a "homey" atmosphere. The building is located on a hillside with apartment buildings behind, a 4 lane divided highway in front and a fire station on the other side of the highway. Positives: Staff is family oriented and friendly. People are clean and not pretentious. Rooms are clean and have bathtubs instead of showers. Most of the clients were friendly to each other which speaks loads of the care they are given. Negatives: really none.

So far it's been great. She really enjoys it. No complaints, about food or staff, or anything whatsoever. The billing has been smooth and easy. We have been very pleased so far. I would definitely give them a five.

My mother moved in here about two weeks ago. I was very worried that she needed more care than they would be able to provide, but they're doing a great job taking care of her, and she loves it there. They're doing everything for her that they said they would do. She says the food is very good (although she doesn't eat very much any more), and she even played Bingo yesterday, which I don't remember her ever playing in her whole life. Everyone is very friendly. Not only the staff, but even the residents made her feel very welcome. On the day she moved in, there were quite a few residents in the Activity Room, and as she passed they greeted her and said, "You're going to love it here...this place is great!" That made me feel terrific, to know that the residents felt that way about where my mother was going to be living. The first week, we had a few problems because her doctor had written her pain scripts for PRN, meaning she would only get her pain medicines when she would request them. My mother was not used to doing that, so she was having some problems with pain. But I had her doctor re-write her scripts so that she gets her pain medicines four times a day, and that seems to really have helped the problem. They have a LOT of activities every day for the residents, even on the weekends. I know some other places don't have activities on the weekends, and the people I know who live there are really bored on weekends. Greenfield continues activities on weekends, and has church on Sunday afternoon, which my mother is so happy being able to attend again. (When she was at home the last few months, she couldn't get out to church, and she really missed it.) My mother loves her room because it is a very nice size (much bigger than other places I checked out). And it has TWO six foot long closets -- she loves that!) She had lived with my husband and myself for 8 years, and it was really hard for me to finally realize she needed to move, but at my home she had to walk with a walker a lot of places where her wheelchair was not accessible, and my bathroom was very difficult for her to use. At the end, it just got too difficult for her to continue to use her walker. At Greenfield she is moved around everywhere in her wheelchair, her bathroom is very handicap friendly, and she has so much less pain because of that. It was a very difficult move to decide to make, but I really believe the Lord directed us to the right place for my mother, and He worked out all the details.

My loved one has been there for two months. We toured several of the facilities and my family choose this facility because it felt good the moment we walked in. We got that feeling from the first time toured. The staff are all very helpful. The food is good. It is very clean and always smells nice. It has been a very hard adjustment for my family, the administrator and the director of nursing have taken the time out to sit and walk us through the process and that means a lot to all of us. They are so kind.

My mother-in-law has lived at Southern Manor for the past 9 months. The staff is wonderful and caring. She has memory issues, and every one there goes out of their way to meet her needs. Her needs include searching for her glasses and dentures which she hides daily. They treat her with dignity and respect at all times.

My mother has been here since October 2014. Our family is really pleased with the appearance and the staff here. I have recommended this center to friends.

The sweetest, caring staff! So very clean and food and presentation is fantastic. I thank God for this facility and have no concerns leaving my mother who is 94 living in their facility.

Good service with excellent workers and the food is usually good.

The Birches is so well known and respected. The staff is excellent. They care for you mentally and physically. You will sense it in the atmosphere.

I like this place.

I like where I sit to eat.

My father has been a resident of Southern Manor since April 2015 and has adapted quite well to the regimens of an assisted living facility. The management and staff at Southern Manor are fantastic. They treat residents with dignity and respect and regard residents extended family members as part of the Southern Manor family.

My sister has been at Greenfield Senior Living in Hagerstown for about six months. We looked around at several other assisted living communities in the area. Greenfield Senior Living offers a great activity program with lots of variety. The staff is very nice and my sister always looks good. If I could give them 10 stars I would! One time soon after her admission when I was not able to visit due to illness, they called me every day to let me know how she was doing. When you talk about an extended family, this is really an extended family.

This would be my choice for placement right now. Unfortunately Spring Meadows is in the midst of construction and their memory care facility is slated to be available in a couple of months. Definitely a consideration for the future.

I want to start off by saying how lucky I am to have my loved one at Belle Reve! I was initially devastated when the time came when I realized Grandma was having some memory issues. My mom is her guardian so she made the decision to place her at Belle Reve in the Secured Dimemtia Unit. Again I was devastated because I have heard so many horrifying stories about nursing homes. After Grandma moved in and got acclimated I soon realized that my worries were over. The staff are so helpful and timely. Danielle is very knowledgeable and courteous. The day we met she gave me her personal email and cell phone number. I have to admit I never would have expected that. I thought that at the end of the day the day is over. I have called her on a few occasions and have received immediate feedback. Also the housekeepers are wonderful. They work so hard to make sure everything is neat and clean. I believe her name was Suzy she had a long braid in her hair. She was very helpful when grandma had an incident no questions asked she went right in and took care of all of the clean up. I have to say that I personally wouldn't have it in me to do that. I guess what I am trying to say is I am very grateful for everything everyone has done for my grandmother. Thanks for everything. It is a great place and I will recommend it to anyone who comes along!

My mother has been at Birches for several months now and I can't tell you how pleased I am at the care she is receiving. The facility is very neat and clean, the staff is courteous, thoughtful and extremely helpful and my mother raves about the food! The whole experience of transitioning my mother from her home of 63 years to The Birches was, with the help of the staff at Birches, a wonderful experience and certainly less traumatic than I'd ever imagined it would be. My mother is socializing, partaking in some of the numerous activities that are available, and taking advantage of this beautiful facility and all it has to offer. My mother is happy, well taken care of and able to enjoy this phase of her life.

I recently have put my mom in Spring Meadow and our experience has been tremendous! This is my third facility for her and this one rates the best by far!
