I thought Saucon Valley Manor would have been a good place for my husband. It's just close to me and we could visit him frequently. We toured the memory care and there's an area where they can go outside. The lady who assisted me was very nice and was very helpful in explaining things to us and showing us around as many areas as she could. They have a room where they can do some artwork or whatever they would be able to do, which is good for them. They also have a nice sitting room with a TV where a lot of them join together. I think I would go with a 3 rating for now without actually knowing more and having more experience about the facility.

My husband is now at Saucon Valley Manor. He's in the locked unit. They separate those who have memory care or memory brain diseases from others. They do activities, and they take them outside. They are A plus when it comes to the care of the family member. He is pretty much in the highest level of care. If it was a 1 through 5, he'd be getting a 5 because he has a brain disease that acts like Alzheimer's, so he's been being treated like an Alzheimer's patient and he is getting the utmost comfort care. He's there for palliative care, and they're doing very well in getting his medication to him. If he refuses it, they wait and then they give it to him at a better time. They don't force it on him. However, he's very upset because I can't see him every day. Their hours don't allow me to see him every day. My only complaint would be their visiting hours and their arrangement. I'm waiting for them arrange for me to go see him regularly. My husband does not have Alzheimer's. He has a disease called cerebral amyloid angiopathy. It is a very rare brain disease; however, it acts like Alzheimer's and dementia. The level of care he has received has been wonderful. They know that he gets upset when he can't talk to me or see me, so they approach him quietly and talk to him before they try to get him to eat anything. That's been hard because he's pretty stubborn. I had tried their food, I had chicken noodle soup, and it was very good. It was a little bland because older people shouldn't be retaining water, so they don't have a lot of salt in it. Otherwise, it was fresh, and it was very good. It's a beautiful facility. Compared to other places we looked at, the value for the money is very good.

I looked at Saucon Valley Manor. I really didn't like it because of the congestion on Main Street. I really didn't like the memory care. It was outdated, and it had long hallways. The passageways had door buttons and all that kind of stuff for security. I can understand that. There's one little space to go outside. The staff was fine.

My husband has been in Saucon Valley Manor for three weeks now. He is supposed to go to therapy. They are supposed to be evaluating him and putting him into a different area, but they really have not done anything since he has been there. The staff seems very caring enough, very polite, and gave me a nice tour. The place is clean, and everyone seems happy there. They are very helpful and very nice people. His room has a single bed with a dresser and a closet. He has a roommate, so it is two people in a room. He is supposed to be moved to a private room, but I have not seen it yet. They have a barber shop and a beauty salon. They are supposed to be giving him physical therapy. He is in the memory ward now, so it is sort of confined. They are not able to go out. They could get a half hour visit downstairs after you make an appointment. I really haven't interacted with the staff except the person at the front door, but they have been very polite and very helpful. The facility is very nice and very comfortable. It is very affordable.

Saucon Valley Manor was very clean, very bright, and very cheerful. The rooms were large with big windows around so they looked very bright and nice inside. I was looking at a double room, so it had these two beds, big, tall dressers that the residents can use, and a large closet. Some of the units actually have a kitchenette style with cabinets and sinks. The staff in Saucon Valley Manor was very good as well. They answered all the questions I had to the best of their knowledge and explained everything. They have a special activity room where they take people to do bingo, cards, and music. They do exercises too and you can get your hair done in the place.

I moved my mother to Saucon Valley Manor and she has been good where she's at. Her room is very nice. She's in a shared room, they each have a dresser, they share a table, and they have an armoire, and a pretty big bathroom. So it's a very comfortable room. They have a lot of activities, but my mom's dementia is a little more progressed so their entertainment is movies, music, and people that come in to sing to them. They also do crafts, they paint their fingernails and things like that. The staff who works there is very friendly, and to me they're awesome. They have been very nice to my mother and my family. My mom has also eaten stuff that she hasn't eaten before there, and the food also looks good. For the amount of money, compared to another place we saw, the quality is awesome.

Saucon Valley Manor is a place that they retrofitted into a memory care/assisted living care facility and it was absolutely awful. I wouldn't put my worst enemy in there. The building was rundown looking and the staff was uninterested, bored, and looking to get out of work. As soon as I walked in we knew we weren't going there. It just turned me off. They had some activities, but I didn't really like the look of the place.
