Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley has got nice views and nice rooms. My aunt has a one-bedroom apartment and we're able to transfer most of her things from her condominium into the apartment. So, she has the look and feels of a home. From the administrative staff down to the escorting staff to the cleaning staff and the cafeteria people, they are all very supportive. I observed that their interaction with their residents is very comforting and the place is very clean.
It's a very active community. I had an opportunity to speak with some of the residents in a brief conversation, and people seemed to be very upbeat and liked where they were. Their activities include taking residents out to the market weekly or to the theater and having various types of functions on-premise. They have a pavilion with a barbecue pit and a beautiful garden where they have horticulturists there who teach classes. They also have cooking classes. They give them a calendar that is filled with exciting activities. They have a nice restaurant that serves restaurant-quality food, too.
The facility was built over a coal quarry and the lady who started the facility spared no expense to have things like albums dating back when the first recording/music was made. It's just a lot there, so my aunt won't get bored. If something breaks, they fix it/repair it. If something is worn, they replace it. They have a good standard of maintenance of the facility.

My daughter and I went to Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapely. We thought it was satisfactory. I thought Wesley Enhanced was beautiful. The room they showed me was wonderful. It was really big. It had a whole side of windows that looked down on a garden and from there you could see the traffic on the street. I thought that was very good, plus the fact that it was a fifteen to twenty minute drive to where I live. The building and the grounds were just beautiful.
The room we had signed up to take was right next to a sun porch, right across the hall from the elevator, which you have to take to go to the dining room. The dining room is beautiful. It had windows all over the place.

My mom moved to personal care at Stapeley early this week after moving from independent living near Downingtown. I am relieved not only because of the close location to my house but because everyone has been overly accommodating. The staff has been amazing and the residents have been warm and welcoming. Jannett escorted her to the bathroom yesterday and has been so helpful with everything. This morning at breakfast, Brianna, who knew her dietary needs, had her plate all ready and brought it out to her. I was moved to tears thinking about how sweet she was. The nursing staff is very attentive and mom has told me many times already how nice everyone is. She is already involved with the variety of activities and especially enjoyed the chair yoga and concert this week,
I am so thankful for this wonderful place and for the terrific staff at such a difficult transitional time for both my mom and for me! Thank you Stapeley!

Wesley Enhanced was very nice. For my sister, it would have been a higher cost for her care. The grounds were very nice, and the staff was very polite and courteous. I would recommend it.

We visited Wesley, but my friend was not qualified because she did not have the money. Anyway, we found out that they had vegetarian options there, which was good, and different sizes of rooms. Some of the rooms had a shared bath, and some had your own bath and were bigger. The staff was very nice.

I love Stapeley! My mom relocated from Florida back to Philadelphia, the place that she called home for over 50 years. The transition was amazingly easy because of the expertise and the personal attention provided by the Stapeley staff. Mom says that she feels like a "celebrity" because she has met so many new friends and I couldn't be happier that she's in a safe, healthy, and happy environment.

My mother has been a resident on the memory floor at Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley for the past three years.
I have been extremely pleased with the care that she has received.
The staff has been very attentive to my mother, and she is quite happy at Stapeley.
The staff communicates with me whenever necessary, and I am quite appreciative of their efforts.
Julie F. is the Sales and Marketing Manager, and has been a wonderful liaison.
I would highly recommend Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley for a loved one.

My aunt lived here two years ago before she went over to long term. For four years they adjusted her medicines properly, helped her when she didn't want to take a bath, and treated her well with all her eccentricities.
Assisted living is expensive but Staples was inexpensive while still providing good care. They are very honest about the finances. She even was able to receive a grant on the fourth year. I would highly recommend it.

My 92 year-old father arrived at Stapeley in need of physical therapy and skilled nursing care, which he received for a period of 7 months. He had been in a short-term rehab facility after a short hospital stay resulting from a fall into his tub. I visited a couple of other facilities, and spent a lot of time researching online (looking at sites like this, U.S. News & World Report, etc.). I also spoke with family friends in their late 80s.
My goal was to find a facility that could meet his need for medical attention short-term and also be a great place for him to live in a personal care apartment, after his health improved.
Stapeley was, and is, the place. There is a feeling of real community among the residents and staff. The staff are very hands on, very can-do. They are always professional, clearly knowledgeable and capable, but also low-key--very personable and friendly. The facility is very well maintained, both inside and out. The grounds are gorgeous. There classes and other activities, including field trips. Students from local art and music schools come in to work with the residents and perform. I highly recommend Stapeley.

My mother lives in the independent living section of Stapeley for over a year. It is a very good place for her and she has found activities and friends that are wonderful. The staff are friendly, attentive, and effective. The dining room is quite the gathering place! And every month there is a detailed and comprehensive calendar of events circulated to all that displays activities ranging from shopping trips to on-site movies; from day trips to local attractions to live afternoon music in the parlor; from manicure days to lectures on history, art, and world culture. Her apartment is large and light, and the services are very good (such as weekly cleaning service, and quick repairs when reported.) I highly recommend Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley!

My sister has been a resident at Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley for about 3 years; she started in independent living and last year moved to assisted living. Prior to making the decision we checked out 7 other facilities and finally decided on Stapeley, a decision we never regretted .
My family and I couldn't be happier, mostly because my sister is happy, with the services she receives and her new life! I have relatives in the Philadelphia area who visit her, but because I live in California there are times when I feel the need to check with staff to learn what they are seeing on a daily basis. Each time I've called I get a thorough report which is reassuring. I've also spent time visiting Stapeley on a more extended, daily basis when I travel to Philadelphia. The staff are very caring and friendly and make the residents their priority, this is most important to me. The food is good and I'm amazed at all the activities and services available to residents. While I was there I attended a cooking demo, listened to lecture on art and scheduled my sister to get her hair and nails done:-) On a final note, the marketing person was fabulous and went out or her way to answer all our questions and make helpful suggestions. We were so fortunate to find Stapeley. Knowing my sister continues to receive good care brings me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Stapeley if you are looking for care for a loved one.

Stapeley is a comfortable, friendly senior living setting where the staff share not only their skills and expertise, but themselves, as well. The atmosphere in the halls and common rooms is positive and welcoming. New people (visitors and residents alike) are approached and engaged by veteran residents, who are happy to meet new people, to answer any questions, and to share their own experience of Stapeley. Quality music, lecture, and other educational/social opportunities are on offer.
I have found the staff responsive whenever I have had a question or need. There is a friendly Chaplain on staff, so residents and staff alike have access to a spiritual resource person on site. Oh, and the food is good! There is a reasonable choice at meals, and the dining room is very pleasant, surrounded on three sides by lovely views of the property.
To sum it up: well-maintained, spacious living quarters, friendly neighbors, competent & caring staff, good food, and a nice array of things to do - Stapeley is a good place if these matter to you!

I witnessed as my mother tried to get services for her mother in law. Due to their income the representative at Wesley Enhanced Living told my mom not to waste her time looking at Wesley. The representative took it upon herself to cancel the appointment to tour the facility and rejected any further inquiries due to money. I was not pleased to hear about this.

It was felt that the surroundings at Wesley were much more conducive, much homier. It has a much nicer feel to it. We felt that the people who were working there, both administratively and nurses and attendants on the floor, were much more attentive and respectful of the residents. Financially, it worked. It has a nursing home attached to it, so my parents can just easily move in to the nursing home. The building itself was an older building, but I think it was restored. They kept a lot of the nice parts about it - the wood, the big windows that they have, the big doors, the moldings. The room itself also has a bathroom attached to it, which was something that we liked about it. It's big enough to have their bed, a couple of small dressers, a TV, a couple of chairs, wall to wall carpeting, stand-up shower and high ceilings, which was nice.
The staff is very attentive and that was one of the things that we like. They were very willing to work with our parents and do little things that other places might not have been willing to do in order to make them feel at home. The more that I personally go there to visit my parents, the more I get to notice that and it's always the same every time I go, which is also nice and consistent. So I'm very pleased with it.
They had music. They had a woman come in and play the piano and sing. They had another musical thing where they had piano and flute with a little bit more of a band type situation. Every Sunday, they have a non-secular religious hour that we usually attend. The other activities I know of is current events, but my parents haven't really been involved in because they didn't have much interest.
I feel good about the care and the people that are there. I feel like my parents will be taken care of when I, my sisters and brothers aren't there. They have been there for two and a half weeks, but I already feel like they're doing better.

The staff at Wesley was great. They're very nice and very engaging. Their studio was very nice for a studio. We've come for a couple of special events and 2 dinners. The dining room was nice. I'm sure they have plenty of activities but mom hasn't done anything else. The only thing I know that mom did was bingo. I guess they could improve on a more affordable buy-in rate.
