Nice place overall

I liked The Birches. For the most part the staff was helpful. I do feel they were understaffed. I would recommend them overall. Maybe not for residents who need extra care due to memory issues though.... Read more

The Birches at Harleysville Assisted Living.

During the past two years, my wife and I assisted a cousin with finding an assisted living apartment where she would receive medical assistance with daily activities and with several minor medical procedures. We selected The Birches of Harleysville after evaluating other assisted living facilities in Montgomery County. My cousin and I found a caring, supportive staff that evaluated her capabilities and developed a care plan to support her activities of daily life. [name removed] enjoyed her apartment which provided her with a bright and airy atmosphere yet allowed her to be medically supervised. The staff assisted with her transition and encouraged her involvement in community activities. We were fortunate to find this caring and medically competent facility to care for my cousin.

Pleased!

I would definitely recommend it. My sister likes being with other people her age and getting to spend time with others playing games, watching movies and going on trips in the bus to lunch or just taking a scenic ride. It is warm, bright and cheery inside.

My review of The Birches at Harleysville

This facility has been pretty good so far. The staff is very friendly. The food seems to be good, good quality and variety. My loved one has eaten in the dining room a few times and it's really nice and clean. She mostly has her meals delivered to her room, though. I will say, Communication with the family could improve. Trying to get medical information/updates on my loved one is pretty difficult. If you need information, you have to seek it. They're pretty good about responding when I call, but they don't ever call me or reach out to me unless I've reached out to them first. Overall, I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

Beautiful Homelike Atomsphere

Wonderful senior living community, the best in the area! The staff put together wonderful events for the residents and for the community as well. The building feels like you are very warm and welcoming, and the staff are all very friendly. The Executive Director gave me a tour and he was also very knowledgeable and knew all the residents and staff by their first names.

I toured here as we are looking for a place for my mother to move. From the moment I walked in I felt the warmth and friendliness of the place. Everyone was smiling and said hello. We deposited and can't wait for my mom to move in and enjoy her days there.

We Highly recommend The Birches to Our Friends and Family!

My mom has been at The Birches for a year now and honestly every time I speak to her, she tells me how much she loves it there. All the staff goes above and beyond to meet mom’s not only her physical but emotional needs. The residences are so kind. At this point we feel like they are our extended family.

Great events for Community and residents!

I have been to a couple of The Birches events for the community. They have been wonderful. We always have such a great time and you can tell the residents really enjoy it as well. The staff is always so pleasant and the smiles on the faces of the residents says it all. When I am in need of a community for my family members I will be sure to keep them in mind. Thank you for all you do.

Tour experience

The Birches at Harleysville is a wonderful facility, if you can get in. This place seems to fill up very fast! All the staff were extremely friendly. The only thing that I did not like is that you had to bring all of your own furniture. They were in the middle of a bunch of renovations when we toured there.

Our experience at The Birches after 11 months

We selected The Birches at Harleysville for my cousin after her health began to fail and living independently wasn't an option. After visiting several facilities that provided personal care, we worked with the team at The Birches to transition my cousin into their environment. After almost a year, we find the team easy to work with, caring and provide a warm atmosphere for my cousin. We had been especially concerned since we were changing her environment during the peak of the COVID pandemic. The staff was caring, assessed her mobility and dietary requirements and developed a care plan in conjunction with her medical team. Finding the perfect environment for a loved one is a challenge. Today my cousin's health has stabilized and she is doing well at 97. She is content and we are comfortable with our decision.

Our experience at The Birches

We were not happy with our experience at The Birches at Harleysville. There were a lot of staffing problems and we got no communication from them when things happened.

Response from The Birches at Harleysville

August 29, 2022

The team at The Birches was really disheartened to read your review, especially since it was written anonymously. Please reach out to the Executive Director. He is a very involved and communicative leader and eager to have the opportunity to resolve your concerns.
