Community Reviews
Thank you!
reviewed on: 04/27/2015 by JeanMy mother has been here 6 years - there have been some slight issues, but to be expected with ANY facility. Staff has always been very friendly, loving, and kind to her, myself (I had knee surgery last year and those who knew about it always ask how I am doing),and family. I feel the value has been there - just hoping it doesn't go up too high with rates changing as I would love to keep her there... Food is EXCELLENT and I have joined her for a lunch a few times. Henry and staff do a wonderful job. Nursing staff has always been helpful and willing to answer questions... I am grateful we found this place for my mother, and it's only 20 minutes from home!
They do a pretty good job. I don't really have any complaints.
reviewed on: 04/28/2014 by Family MemberThey do a pretty good job. I don't really have any complaints. I am happy with the variety of food, but it can take a little bit of time to be served. There are little mix-ups with the laundry but that is to be expected from what I understand. They are a pretty good value. It seemed friendlier and homier, a little cleaner than the others we saw. It was less like a hospital setting.
My Loved is Happy
reviewed on: 09/16/2020 by AnonymousMy loved on has been happy with the community. I would recommend Allegria at the Oaks. The community is playing bingo during COVID. The food is good and not five star quality, but gets the job done for the residents.
Great place with friendly staff
reviewed on: 09/20/2015 by Diane W.I was very confused and stressed on how to go about finding a great new place for my Dad. I called A Place For Mom and Natalie guided me, gave suggestions and asked great questions. My sister and I then went to look at a few places and we decided the best place was Oaks at Bensalem. The people at Oaks at Bensalem were friendly, helpful and informative. The facility is getting a whole new look and so far it is beautiful! I love walking in and seeing the awesome crystal chandelier hanging in the lobby. I am always greated when I come in to visit. The first few times they asked for ID, which means my Dad will always be safe( now they know me). Lots of fun activities for Dad to do all day and help with some of his daily activities. He said the food is great and he feels like he is dining out every day because he orders what he wants form the menu (3 choices every day). My Dad misses his old home but thanks to Brenda and the staff at Oaks of Bensalem, he is settling in to his new home.
It's ok, it doesn't seem like there is enough staff.
reviewed on: 12/19/2013 by SonIt's ok, it doesn't seem like there is enough staff. They couldn't find her for like 20 minutes, they didn't know where she was maybe she's upstairs maybe she's downstairs. She was in somebody elses room, and they weren't around and she was sleeping in their bed. I don't know if it's that big a deal, as long as she is not hurting anybody maybe it's ok to be wandering around. It seems like they have activities, my mom is not gonna play bingo and card games thought. They are having family night, a big party with food and everyone's welcome with a guy from a Motown band that I recollected. The food is ok, I had it a couple times and I ate it. I think my mom likes it. They always have a good desert they will bring her a decalf and she thinks it's real coffee. I just thought it was kind of fatty. I had some kind of chicken goulash I thought it was bland and kind of blah and I struggled through it, and they had some kind of rice pudding and she loves that. If they had a few more staff members keeping an eye that would be nice. Ultimately I would recommend Sierra Oaks for it's value. If you were able to visit fairly frequently you would be able to keep a better eye on it. It is older. It's clean but it's not new.
