#2 in Newtown, PA

Residents and their families say:

This community is frequently praised for its cleanliness, caring staff, and the quality of care provided to residents. Reviewers often highlight the excellent rehabilitation services, the engaging activities available, and the overall compassionate environment. Many appreciate the detailed attention given to residents by staff, the variety of socialization opportunities, and the quality of meals, likening the dining experience to fine dining rather than institutional meals. The community is described as a clean, very well run place with a close-knit, long-term staff that creates a personal and loving environment. It is mentioned for being particularly well-suited for rehabilitation and assisted living needs, with one reviewer noting it as the best care facility locally for short to long term stays. The cleanliness of the facilities, including the rooms, is frequently commended, alongside the friendliness and professionalism of the staff.

However, some reviewers have expressed concerns and dissatisfactions, notably regarding the size and upkeep of the living spaces, with one noting that while the cottages are older, they are kept updated, but another expressing disappointment over the small size of the rooms in an older facility. There were also specific criticisms about the administrative and HR aspects, such as an unfriendly HR representative and a lack of transparency about job descriptions during an interview process. Another review mentioned a brief and somewhat unwelcoming tour experience. Despite these criticisms, the sentiment that shines through most reviews is one of gratitude for the caring environment and the quality of care, with many expressing a sense of family and home at this community.
