Wesley Enhanced Living Pennypack Park had a very nice room layout. They were roomy and we kind of liked where the kitchen was in relation to the rest of it. It seemed to be very good. The two people that showed us around gave us a very nice tour. They spent a lot of time with us. It was very clean and nicely decorated.

My sister likes Wesley Enhanced Living Pennypack Park very much. There are several things that we liked about it. The people that were there, Claire as well as Martha, were professional. They took their time and explained the process and what they had at the facility and what the options might very well be. After understanding what we needed and wanted, they took us on a tour of the property. As they took us through, Martha showed us exactly what was available and it was exactly as they had described it in the discussion before taking us on the tour. We were very pleased with the apartment and the amenities. We had an opportunity to take a look at the gardens. We're very familiar with Philadelphia and The Wesley Enhanced Living facility takes you away from the typical understanding of what an urban environment is. It's a respite, quiet place, suitable for senior citizens and safe in a very urban area. They had the shopping and the ability to go to two different supermarkets and come back home with transportation provided. We had an opportunity to take a look at the menu and it was more than ample and sufficient. The garden was absolutely beautiful. My sister, who is not comfortable in an urban setting liked it very much, felt very comfortable, and hoped that we could work out the finances that she could be there. Her husband is currently in a nursing home and there are provisions that once we get her in, there is the possibility that he could come over there also and they take Medicaid. That's another thing that was very interesting and acceptable. She would be independent and should she need assistance or personal care, those facilities are there also. They explained how the rates would change as one would go from one to the other. We were not able to taste a meal while we were there. However, we did have an opportunity to see all of the available amenities and some of the people were participating as the gym was being opened up. We saw the area for religious services, the grill, the dining room, and the gardens, pretty much everything that they had there. The bedrooms were more than ample, spacious, and well lit, with more than enough room, and the bathrooms seemed to be secure with bars, etc. I thought the living quarters were fine and very comfortable.

I went to Wesley Enhanced Living Pennypack Park. I thought it was a nice property. I was impressed with it. The staff was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. They were able to answer all my questions. I don't remember being extremely impressed, but I didn't leave with a negative attitude toward them. When we looked in the rooms. I have an allergy to Oxi detergent, and so one of the things that's important to me is to have my own washer and dryer in my living unit, and they did not have that. We were there shortly after lunch, and people were coming back from lunch, going back to their rooms from lunch. And they seemed to be very congenial, with a good atmosphere, and a good mixture of people that were comfortable with each other. That to me was a good sign. Everything seemed very clean and nice.

Wesley Enhanced Living Pennypack Park's facilities seem very nice. I looked at a one-bedroom apartment, and I also saw a two-bedroom apartment. They seemed very nice. The landscaping outside was beautiful. I can't say anything bad about it except that it may not be available. I was taken around by the sales manager. I saw a resident in a hallway, but I didn't have any long interactions. The staff who gave me the tour was very helpful.

We just wanted to take the time to define our experience with Wesley Pennypack Park. Our Mom is 96 and we finally, after 5 years from the passing of Dad, talked her into moving from her Philadelphia home of 73 Years. We took her to two tours of Wesley and she liked both visits. Mom is extremely independent and loved the apartment with the washer/dryer on the same floor in the kitchen !!. She decided to make this change February, 2020. The family was delighted as she would have a safe environment with lots of new friends to share stories and meals with. She was so excited and was ready to move. Mom moved into her independent apartment March 4th, 2020. We got Mom partially settled in when the COVID 19 came to the USA. Shortly after, quarantines were put in place and Mom was on her own, or so we thought. Wesley's staff and personel have gone above and beyond to keep all residents safe and happy and that no one gets forgotten and most of all keeping healthy. Supplied with games and books to color, added additions to the menus, they have kept her spiritually in touch. Wesley Management has also been keeping the family updated constantly with what is happening. We can put our head on the pillow at night knowing Mom is safe. We talk with Mom daily. She lets us know that she gets a note with each meal updating what's happening in the community and how to follow the protocol to stay safe. Mom is really teachng us a lesson or two how we can make it through this unsettling time. She reminds us of the World Wars and the Depression. We are hoping that Mom will be able to really enjoy the pleasures that Wesley has to offer outside her apartment walls. Wesley is truly, in our opinion, a wonderful and compassionate facility as this pandemic is new to them as well. They have touched our lives and our Mom's. We look forward to seeing her and personally thank each and every one at Wesley.

Wesley Enhanced Living Pennypack Park was nice. I liked it a lot. It had a homey atmosphere. It wasn't real big, so it didn't have as many activities going on. Everybody seemed to know each other. I also saw people in assisted living and everybody was on a first name basis. If you needed someone to look after you, you would get attention there. I was impressed with the staff and the facilities; it was a little less expensive than others. The food menu looked decent. They had a cafe where you could eat meals, but you can also cook your own. They had a nice dining room. If you're going to a very high level of care and you exhaust your resources, but you've been there for five years, they have fundraising and they will keep you forever. The woman who took me around was really good, seemed to know everybody that we ran into, and was able to answer all our questions. I was happy and content with the facility.
