My 93 year old mother and her 18 year old cat have lived in one of their bedroom with separate living area rooms for 3 years and loves it. The staff are extremely wonderful, so attentive and caring, even when mom goes to the hospital, the staff feed the cat and give it attention. The home is very well kept, clean and inviting. The Activity Director offers activities through out the day that gives the residents opportunities to socialize and keep busy if they wish. Their maintenance man is more of a son to all the residence and attends to all their needs. The administrators are within the building and accessible to answer any concerns or questions. Strake has been a God send for my Mom. I highly recommend checking this place out.

If you’re looking for a wonderful place for your loved one, then look no further. The caring nature of the staff as a whole really makes this place special. They have two enclosed courtyards for entertaining with one housing a full farm-to-table style garden! Excellent food, excellent activities, and excellent location. Nowhere in the surrounding area offers this type of living at this type of price!

Shannondell at Valley Forge was our dream retirement community, but it has transformed dramatically since we moved in before the pandemic. Initially, it was an active 55+ community, with vibrant residents, outstanding restaurants, and elegant evenings where we'd dress up for dinner. Fast forward, and it's disheartening to witness the shift. Most residents now rely on scooters or walkers, and in the communal spaces one can find residents napping on furniture along with their caregivers, despite management's disapproval. The place is now reminiscent of a nursing home. The decline in the living environment has been disheartening. My advice to prospective residents is to thoroughly assess the current state of Shannondell, as it no longer embodies the vibrant, active community it advertises. Look closely and don't rely on what marketing tells you.

My mom had a terrible experience. From the day we moved in, there were issues. The device to call the nurse and listen to te TV was broken and we were told they would get to it at some point. My mom went in relatively healthy but one week later, she had to be transferred back to the hospital. She had a fever, a UTI swollen limbs and hands, delirium, she was left in her soiled diapers for hours, she couldn’t breathe but for some reason they fought with us because they didn’t want to treat her. We begged them to treat her for her health issues because she was getting worse and worse. But the staff was rude and deliberately not helpful. Overall nightmare. Back in Bryn Mawr hospital finally getting the care she needs and deserves.

My wife is currently staying in The Sanctuary at Wilmington Place. The rooms are excellent, and the appearance of the place is great. The grounds are nicely kept, and the staff has been super friendly. The only activity that she participates in -- that I'm aware of -- is bingo. In the previous place she was in, she mentioned that they had more things for her to do and that they didn't have to sit in their rooms much. Dayton is still not as loose on everything due to COVID, so they're still basically locked down. Also, they went through wild cases of COVID that hit their place. The dining room seems to be pretty good. My wife is not a very picky eater so she's fine with the food. They have a room with a pool table, and I'm not really sure what else they have because at first, I wasn't even allowed to come in. They were still doing window visits, and then they opened it up to one visit per week per resident. I told them that was not acceptable to me because we both had gotten our shots, and that's not enough visitation for the resident or for me. Right now, I get to go in on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for four hours at a time, and I still have my Sunday half hour. They're a very expensive place, and that's the same as anybody else, but they were a little bit cheaper than some of the others.

The Birches at Harleysville was very nice. The person who gave me the tour was excellent. The apartments were very nice too. I saw quite a few of the rooms, and I thought everything was really good. They had game rooms, activity areas, a music room, and a movie room.

I really liked them. The people were really nice. It was pretty. It looked like the residents were well taken care of. It wasn't overly big. It wasn't a place that I would think would be overwhelming for a resident. It was very clean, and it looked like it was recently updated. I think that they had just done some remodeling, so it was really nice. I was accommodated really good. We were greeted at the door and they took us for a tour throughout the facility. I think that place had a really nice courtyard in the back. They took us everywhere, showed us everything, and they told us how they were accommodating visiting family members with the COVID virus going around. They were very informative.

Riderwood offers three different levels of care. It has a meal plan and activities. I was very impressed. I thought it was an excellent facility. I went to their introductory programs two years ago, but since then I have visited two different friends who lived there in Riderwood, and they have been happy there. The food was excellent. It's very nice. They have an exercise room, a swimming pool, an area where you can have a garden plot for people who like to garden, and lots of programs.
