The Manor at Market Square offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, allowing residents to move between levels of support as their needs change. Each program is structured to coordinate closely with the resident’s primary physician and the community’s nursing team to accommodate special diets and oral-medication diabetes management while also supporting individuals with mild dementia.

A nurse is on call around the clock, and the property is staffed 24/7 with personnel trained to answer pull-cord or PERS alerts and to monitor secured, alarmed doors. On-site providers visit regularly for podiatry, audiology, dental care, and therapy sessions, reducing the need for outside appointments. Care staff can supply full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and will provide standby supervision for meals. Transfer help ranges from walker guidance and wheelchair support to one-person or two-person assists, which is coordinated according to each resident’s mobility plan.

Apartments vary in size and layout and may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, individual temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided for every residence, although not every unit includes every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm specific details during a tour.

Meals are served in a communal dining room with the choice between a set menu and made-to-order selections, and snacks are available throughout the day. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings, and nutrition staff can prepare physician-ordered therapeutic diets to accommodate medical or cultural needs.

Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, wellness center, internet connectivity, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge support, a library, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a lot of praise for its caring and attentive staff, cleanliness, and the variety of amenities and activities available to residents. Many reviewers have highlighted the kindness and professionalism of the staff, stating that communication is great and that the staff members are always available to answer questions and assist with residents' needs. The community's rooms are described as clean, comfortable, and adequately spacious, with options ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments. The dining services have also been well-received, with several reviewers mentioning the quality of the food and the flexibility in dining hours. Activities such as movies, exercise classes, singing, walking, and even day trips keep residents engaged and happy. Furthermore, the presence of on-site nursing personnel and the availability of health-related services have brought peace of mind to many families.

However, a few points of criticism have been raised, mainly regarding the location in Downtown Reading, with some reviewers expressing concerns about safety and the lack of outdoor walking spaces. Despite these concerns, the interior amenities, including libraries, crafts rooms, and the overall sense of security within the community, appear to compensate for the external environment. The inclusion of pet-friendly policies and the ability to move from independent to assisted living without changing apartments are notable benefits. On the other hand, one reviewer felt there were more activities tailored towards women, and another mentioned the food, while adequate, was not gourmet. Despite these minor drawbacks, the community is generally celebrated for its welcoming atmosphere, comprehensive care, and the variety of services and amenities that cater to the residents' comfort and enjoyment.
