Memory Care Community in Voorhees, New Jersey

Kathy Reyers

Not enough skilled staff to left a person off wheel chair from bed to dress and bathroom. Calls to Administrator are never return phone box is always full. We had to hire someone to help for $300 a day plus $7,000 a month

Yardley Commons is a very nice community. The staff is fine. My father-in-law has a studio apartment, but they have a variety of room options; it depends on what you can afford. They have game nights and shuffleboard. They prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and all the meals are included in the rent. Housekeeping comes in once a week to do vacuuming and cleaning. They have a cafeteria and a library.

Brookdale Echelon Lake was rather dreary and I thought it wasn't very welcoming in terms of the atmosphere. The staff who gave the tour was very nice, she did say that a renovation was coming, which I appreciated. But we had to make a decision on the place right away. From the outside it looked very nice, it had a very nice environment with a lake in the back. But inside, it looked old and needed some updating and remodeling.

Brookdale Evesham was a very nice community physically speaking, but it's too big. The hallways were too long, and with my mother's age, her travel to and from the common areas would be just too far. The building was not small enough or contained enough, it was too spread out. The staff who gave the tour was very nice and professional, she made a few follow-up calls. The rooms I saw there were on the small side. We were there around lunchtime and most people seemed to be eating. The community was very nice, it had a bright and pleasant atmosphere, and very well-appointed. We like the atmosphere, but the reason for choosing somewhere else was the size of the place and the units available were too far from the common areas.

My parents moved into Brookdale Evesham. Everything is wonderful, and they're very pleased. They already had their holiday Christmas party which was lovely, they have mahjong, card games, and they're just getting acclimated. They have a good size apartment, it's one of the larger ones, so mom could bring some of her stuff. She's thrilled with the staff. They couldn't be any nicer. I ate there, the food service was excellent, and the food was very good. They have a movie room, they have a separate dining hall for parties if you want to celebrate birthdays, so everything seems very nice.
