My husband is a resident in the memory care unit at The Birches. I really can't say enough good things about his experience there. I truly appreciate the staff, and from the very first day, welcomed my husband into their community family. My husband, Joe, is a "foodie". He loves the meals that are served. The Birches is very clean and the residents have so many activities to choose from every day. Each Wednesday there is a day trip that can be signed up for. Casino, restaurant, shopping, candy factory, you name it, they go! Thank you all at the Birches who work so hard to make my husband's and the rest of the residents' lives comfortable and happy.

My mother moved to Birches Memory Care after living independently at Arbor Square. The staff, from administrators to aides, were consistently professional and caring. During my visits, my mom was always well-groomed, and staff gestures like painting her nails lifted her spirits. Even as her health declined, her needs were met. I am deeply grateful for the compassion and dedication shown by everyone at Birches Memory Care during a challenging time.

Having to make the decision for Mom to go into assisted living was a difficult one. However, The Birches at Harleysville helped us realize it was the right decision. They provide a warm and welcoming environment to the residents and their families. Directors have been available to meet with us when we have had concerns. They listened to our concerns and worked with us to find solutions so that Mom is getting the best care. The staff genuinely cares for the residents and it is seen in their interactions with them and residents’ families.

My mother was a resident of an independent living community. When she was diagnosed with dementia I needed to find another place for her that could give her the care she needed. I visited many facilities and very happy with this choice. The Birches is warm and cozy and the residents are very sweet too! The nursing coordinator and her aides are the most caring, patient and friendly people. There is a peace of mind knowing your loved one is being treated with respect and kindness. The whole facility is full of dedicated staff. There is also plenty of activities and the food is good too!
