Friendly, Helpful, Life-Saving<br>Our experience at The Terrace at Chestnut Hill was wonderful. My father left a skilled nursing facility and moved here. We found the staff to be helpful and friendly and medically excellent. The nurses and med technicians really know the residents and communicate well with each other. A staff member identified when my father was in liver failure and nursing staff helped me get him to the hospital in time to save his life. Terrace staff and Fox Rehabilitation staff who work at the Terrace helped my father regain his mobility. He no longer needs a wheelchair! I am so impressed and forever thankful to the staff here.

Went here to tour for a loved one and I can say the only reason we did not take it because of the distance from home, but if we lived closer to the community the the terrace at chestnut is where my mom would have been. Lisa the executive director was very helpful and informative. I will definitely reconsider if the situation changes. They have a very good staff from what me and my wife saw from just a walk threw
