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.

The Residences at Manatawny Village in Pottstown, PA

5.0
They did a good job catering to his food preferences, the staff was super friendly and super with him, care was outstanding. We would most definitely recommend this community to other families.

Wyncote Care Center

5.0
My experience at Phoebe Wyncote Ministries: Independent Senior Living has been mostly positive. I would recommend it as an option for consideration for anyone seeking a place of their own. Especially if they're in need of assisted care or may need access sometime in their near future.
