Simpson Meadows

About the facility

Located in the vibrant yet historical town of Downing, Pennsylvania rests Simpson Meadows — a charming community offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care services. Residents can lounge by the crackling fire with family and friends in one of our cozy common areas, or breathe in the fresh air while admiring the lovely gardens inside our enclosed courtyard. Simpson Meadows is just a few miles away from some of Downing’s lovely attractions, such as the Longwood Gardens or the William Brinton 1704 House. With incredible on-site amenities, entertaining activities, and numerous city attractions, even the most active residents will have a hard time running out of things to do.

At Simpson Meadows, we provide a continuum of care services. Our community is split into three different sub-communities, based on level of care. Since the aging process affects us all differently, we have decided to make it easy for residents to transfer between the levels of care they might need. So even if you decide to move into our independent living community and realize you may require more assistance, we will work with you and your loved ones to make the transition as stress-free as possible.

Review for Simpson Meadows

My Dad moved into Simpson Meadows in October. We love pretty much everything about the facility. Starting with the tour. Many choices of apartment sizes and additional residential space to use. The staff all seem to be so caring. The food is excellent with many choices, plus a little cafe for lunch. Many activities to do, trip planned. Transportation if needed also trips to the grocery store. Just a very clean happy place Would definitely recommend a visit.

Wonderful Community

It's been an overall positive experience. The move was easy. Everyone was very accommodating for us. The apartment is a nice size. They actually repainted when my mother was not satisfied with the original color she picked. There could be more activities, but my parents said it was a little slow due to the winter weather and a new activities person coming in. They have enjoyed the activities they've done. My parents love the food. They feel it's a good amount without being too much and well prepared for a good price. They've met a lot of people and feel everyone is friendly. From what I've seen, it looks clean.

Worth taking a look

My experience with Simpson Meadows was wonderful from the start. Their marketing coordinator was extremely helpful in finding the right fit for my uncle. The facility is beautiful, clean and homie. My uncle was very happy there and enjoys many activities that they provide.

My experience

I would give a 5 on each of the categories. The activities are somewhat limited since there is no swimming pool, golf course etc. But for elderly people I feel there is enough to do.

Excellent - Friendly

Many people in independent living have full days themselves apart from group activities ... however the activities director is very creative. Excellent, Friendly - for those looking for a residence of about 150 residents with about 100 in independent living and facilities and staff for assisted living and memory care for those who might benefit from these services either initially or as they reside here.

It's Not How Your Start, It's How You Finish

I can't recommend the community due to the way we exited the community. We had multiple attempts to reconcile a balance due and it was never resolved and we never heard back on a resolution to this.

We had a very nice virtual tour, and my impression was that it was a very nice place. Ultimately, my loved one's funds are limited, so it was little bit expensive. We found some really great incentives at a different community. But Simpson Meadows had plenty of amenities, and the woman who led our virtual tour was very nice. This is no reflection on how they executed the virtual tour, but I’m just a hands-on person and like to see things in person rather than looking at a computer screen.

Terrible place to put a loved one.

I was never told Covid was present when my husband was accepted at Simpson Meadows. He was keeped in a room and neglected. Lasted 24 days before he was transferred to Chester County hospital with severe dehydration, severe UTI. Died 5 days later.

A beautiful place for your loved!

This community is bright, cheerful and beautifully appointed in terms of furniture and decorations. Our loved one is in a two bed two bath apartment and it is just lovely. The food is better then average, and if she doesn't want to eat the meals provided she can cook her own in her apartment.

Finding a Smaller Home

Simpson Meadows is a very good place to come. The friendliness, it is a smaller community and you get to know more people. In general the service is good. I've had no problems here. The room sizes vary, and I have one that is a one bedroom and comfortable. It might be small for two people, but for one it works. I have a full kitchen in my room, and laundry in my closet.

They are constantly sanitizing things in the community that are touched regularly. The staff seems to know most everybody's name and if they pass you in the hall, they will greet you by name. They did have adequate activities before the Covid-19 pandemic and the food was much better when we could go to the dinning room rather than heating it up. For what we are getting, I think Simpson Meadows is good value.

Something seemed off here. I did not feel comfortable with [name removed] or the tour. The $180,000 buy-in fir independant care is too much. The next level of care has very few aots & a long waiting list. Personal care area felt worn & didn't like how it smelled. The memory care residents seemed sad & listless. We would never put Dad here.

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:

  • Know Pennsylvania’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection 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 communities you’re considering. Learn more about Pennsylvania’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it 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 committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
