Manor at Market Square was very nice. The woman was very helpful and explained everything very well. We toured a studio, a one-bedroom, and a two-bedroom apartment, and they were nice. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the location, Downtown Reading, but you wouldn't know it once you're inside. It seemed friendly and I liked the idea that they could get something to eat any time of the day. There was always a drinking fountain, sodas, and I think a pot of soup or something was on at all times in the cafeteria. I believe they had a hair salon, reading area, and activities area. Everything seemed well in order.

Manor at Market Square is at the center of Reading, and the environment was lovely. A lot of the residents were around, in leisure places. I did not have a meal there, but I took some soup home, and that was excellent. The rooms there that I looked at were a studio and a 1-bedroom, they certainly look adequate. They were handicapped-accessible with a little kitchenette and bathroom. It is a lot less space than where I'm in at the moment, but it certainly looks enough. The person who toured me, Christine, was excellent and had a lot of details right at her fingertips.

I toured Manor at Market Square. It's very nice. We're going to choose it for my brother because he's able to pay for it every month. It looks like a hotel with lots of couches and chairs. Everyone was very pleasant, very nice, very considerate, and cooperative. I also liked the rooms. They were very nice and clean. The whole cleanliness of the place was what attracted me. I only met one or two of the staff members. They were very friendly, very nice, and very helpful. Whenever I called, they got back to me in time. There's no smell in the air. There's no odor. It's very much like a hotel.

Manor at Market Square is very well-run, clean, and has nice facilities. The staff was very nice, responsible, and caring. The activities were presented although I didn't see anything going on at the time. But they look as good as anywhere else. They have a library, crafts room, but not much outside.

Very friendly staff and always available for questions. My mom loves playing bingo. A bus to transport her to doctor appointments and shopping at the nearby walmart and boscov. She enjoys the foods and the friendly dining staff. She has her own mailbox and enjoys her independent. The room is a nice size and the housekeeping ladies are friendly. Washing machines are located at the ends of each floor so it's easy to access from any room. Very safe and parking lot for visiting.

My father is at the Manor at Market Square. There is a lot to do, but I think there is more to do for women because they have knitting club and card clubs, and it is a happy place. The services are good. The food is not gourmet, but it is better than what see in other places, and it is adequate. He gets a lot, and he gets as much as he needs. I have not meet one that I did not like yet because they are all very friendly. They treat the people to events. There is I nurse that takes care of anything that we need whether it be getting a pill or having a doctor look at him. They have services that will do my dad's toes. They have a barber. They have a beautician. One of the things that make us pick that place is the fact that they do not have to pay the shuttle to go to any doctor's appointment. It is a big plus because my dad has to go in the beginning for quite a few doctors' appointment in numerous times when we cannot be there to take him. They do it, and they do not charge anymore. Another good thing is that they do allow small pets. If he will go from independent to assisted living or hospice, he can have his pet with him. In other places, once you leave one area, you have to move on and go into another part of the building. At the Manor, they do not do that. You do not have to move. They will come to you. I think that all these things are important, and I think it is amazing that they have these good services. Some people may be afraid because Reading does have a high crime rate, but I feel it is very safe. I am not afraid at all for my dad to be there. They have a buddy system too. My dad meets a couple of people that eat together. They call each other up if they are not there at a meal, wondering where they are. It is a friendly place, and I think even though my dad does not want to be there, I see him laughing, and just being happy there. For the costs and for the services, I will rate it a five.

Manor at Market Square was very nice, and they were very helpful. We didn’t like the location; my mother didn’t like being down in the city. There was no place for her to walk because it was on a busy street. The rooms were nice. The dining room setup was nice, but I didn’t care for the lobby though. They had Bingo, arts and crafts, and a library.
