The Residence at Bala Cynwyd

The food was very good and the spaces were designed with high quality materials. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families. My mother stayed for one month of recovery from a fall and it was great for her. I'd say it's perfect if you want a small, high quality community with a lot of different levels of assistance possible

Review for The Residence at Bala Cynwyd

Father was on the memory care floor, and I can only speak to that. Staff turnover was rampant and grouping all of the individuals on the memory care floor together for all meals and activities only worsened the dementia. It's not that I wouldn't recommend memory care. I just felt it was too broad of a spectrum for 25 or 30 individuals… Some with severe dementia some with minor dementia

Lack of food service!

If you want food...go to Wawa or have family bring it in!! Servers, waitstaff do not show up and there are no consequences for not showing up. Not acceptable!! We pay a lot of money to live here. More times than not, they don't have food that's listed on the menu.They say they are out of it! Something has to change! There is no accountability for food not being delivered or served. Everyone just spasses the buck, saying it's being taken care of and I still don't have my food. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO CHANGE THIS! OUTRAGEOUS!!! DO I NEED TO REPORT TO THE STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA??

Compassionate and professional care

The nurses, administration and staff at Residence at Bala have been extremely helpful in caring for my mother-in-law. They are communicative and go out of their way to help. She is in the memory unit but still has regular access to the outdoors on their secured patio. Thank you for referring us to this facility.

Friendly staff who will hear your concerns.

My mother moved in to the memory unit in [date removed]. The staff had been friendly and communicative. The unit floor is spacious and well lit with sunlight, so it has a warm feeling. There seem to be w good number of activities going on like coloring, puzzles, and reading. Parking for visits is readily available.

It has been such a pleasure working with the ladies who run 'The Residence'. I am helping my dad and step-mother and have needed lots of guidance...and, while i can't see the property until it's completed, i can't imagine it will be anything less than promised! ronni

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.
