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.

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. :)

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.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Birches at Harleysville

The Birches at Harleysville offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and Semi-Private. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Birches at Harleysville 9.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
