Our family's experience

There are two employees that need to be trained on how to handle dementia patients. I have been there personally one time when they weren't treating my father very kindly. I did tell them about that. My father loves the food they serve which is wonderful! The place is extremely clean which is nice. My father will be dressed in the same clothes for days even though we have plenty of clothing for him in his dressers! We have pajamas for him to wear at bedtime but apparently that's too much trouble for them to change him. I have been there when my father was able to dress himself but his pants & shirts were on inside out. The aides never fixed his clothing. Dignity!! Half the time his dentures aren't in his mouth even though I left a note in him room to make he wears them every day. When his dentures aren't in his mouth they are sitting in a container with no cleaner, dry as can be. What about his dignity? My father wouldn't be caught dead without his dentures in! Most of the employees are very kind and friendly. Like I said before, there are two employees who desperately need training. Over all the place is nice. There aren't nurses there like they have in other places. They have what you call "med teks" who distribute medication to the patients and call 911 if they need to which is a huge downside to this place. Overall, my father is okay there. No place is perfect but The Birches really need to step up about making sure the patients have their dignity.

They were very friendly. [name removed] knew the residents and talked a little with them. We saw one of the studio apts and the resident was there and kindly let us look around the room. I liked that there was a separate room where we could have a private family lunch if we wanted to or a little private party. Looks like there are a lot of things to keep the residents busy if they want to be. It all looked very clean.

Great staff , tasty meals and nicely decorated facility... but needs some improvement with daily cleaning.

Overall, the staff is very nice and my mom is adapting to her new place. The maintenance is poor and needs much improvement ; I've had to clean the bathroom in my mothers room bc it's always dirty, I purchased a large black trash bin and placed a note on it that it belongs to her room... the black trash bin has been replaced with white one and my sign applies to it.. and too often there is no toilet paper. I had to purchase extra to keep In her closet. Room size is sufficient, my mother enjoys the meals and daily entertainment and trips is great!

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.

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.
