“Michael was very nice. More importantly, he was very informative. The building was clean, and the model rooms were stunning! We are glad that my mother is moving to Laurel Pointe.”

About these figures

Computed on October 21, 2026 from the 6 communities listed in Reading, 222 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change.
