Recent reviews for assisted living in Highland Woods

Simpson Meadows in Downingtown, PA

3.9
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.

Exton Senior Living

4.9
"Cozy" environment, long term staff with very few agency hires, management very involved in daily operations, and processes in place to evaluate residents as conditions change. Activities got a little lower of a score because they do not have a gym with equipment like his prior facility did.

United Methodist Communities Pitman

4.6
From the first step of the application process through admittance and residency, everyone that we have come in contact with at Pitman have been caring and gracious... Just nice people to deal with..
