It's truly very good, I can't complain. Housekeeping was not good in the beginning as they were short people, but it has gotten better. I really do like what is offered here.

I was at another community and they couldn't take care of me. Here they are able to and I've had no problems.

Friendly staff - overall a nice community

I really like it. The Birches is very clean, the staff are nice and the meals are pretty good too. Everyone is so nice and helpful. I would like to add that [name removed] in Marketing has been such an angel. Even after mom moved in she was still very helpful. :)

A great place to live

When I first came, I was very impressed with the patience and friendless of everyone, it helped make my decision to come here. I'm very satisfied with everything.

The best place

In my length of time I have been very impressed. I have been to other places and this is so far the best I have been to. They have lots of activities and things to do. I can't think of anything negative to say.

Amazing Staff

The Birches is a wonderful community. The staff at The Birches goes above and beyond to care for your loved one. I am grateful for all of them. It makes me happy to know my mom is in their care. She is very happy to be here. They visit her and sit with her daily.

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.

Best Activities Director

I put my husband in the Birches when I could no longer care for him at home. I experienced first hand other skilled care communities where the hospital sent my husband to rehabilitate. He found them depressing and I found them lacking. On the other hand upon walking into the Birches you get a whole different feeling. In fact after my husband was there he said to me "When are we checking out?". He thought we were at a hotel. The staff did their best and there were two workers who my husband and I liked VERY much. The activities were wonderful and we enjoyed them together. Musicians and singers were brought in and parties planned so we never felt like we were missing out on holidays. The activities director was VERY caring and would get my husband and take him to an activity when I wasn't there to do so. The price was much less than other facilities also.

Our family had a wonderful experience

The Birches of Harleysville has such a caring and empathetic staff. I started working with [name removed] at the very onset of my mother needing additional care. Even though mom didn't live there for almost a year after our family started inquiring about their facility, the staff continued to stay in touch and answer any questions we had during our journey. When mom became a resident there, she immediately became part of their family and we were blessed to have such a caring staff. We visited as much as we wanted and were thankful that mom had the care she needed and deserved.

Time at the Birches

Overall the experience was good. Mom was in assisted living\personal care. Occasionally she would have to wait a while for someone to come to her room. Food was excellent and the activities and entertainment was very good.

BEST COMMUNITY IN THE AREA

My GRANDFATHER HAS BEEN A RESIDENT AT THE BIRCHES. SINCE MAY 2023, MOVING FROM ANOTHER LOCAL COMMUNITY AFTER BEING UNHAPPY, THE BIRCHES MAY HAVE A WAIT LIST AT TIMES TO MOVE IN, BUT IT'S WORTH THE WAIT. My GRANDFATHER IS SO MUCH HAPPIER HERE!
