My beloved dad recently passed away after losing his battle with cancer. During his last months, he…read morewas lucky enough to have had Claire as his caregiver and friend. I firmly believe that Claire extended my dad's life because of the love, laughter, compassion, silliness and extraordinary level of CARE she gave my dad - and she made him feel alive more than he had in a very long time. She was so good with him and he enjoyed his time with her so much that he actually forgot he was sick when she was around. They became forever friends, even though "forever" didn't last long enough. From the very first day that I contacted Always Best Care of Upper BuxMont/Doylestown to arrange home care for my dad, I was met with an impressive and unexpected level of kindness, understanding and humanity. The owners, along with their team, felt like part of my family - which sounds strange I suppose, but there's really no better way to describe it. This is not your typical caregiving agency, that's for sure! I will forever be grateful to all of these wonderful people for how well they treated my dad.

My mother was in the care of one of their "care-givers" and over the course of 1 year lost 65 pounds, we weren't allowed in her apt. by the caregiver unless we called first and when we got a key she yelled at us for coming without calling. Numerous times we found my mother sleeping on the toilet where the "care-giver" said she would remain until she pooped because she was not going to clean her up. She fed her stale half sandwiches and left her sitting along in her bedroom, in her wheelchair in the dark. My mother has since gotten new care and has put all the weight, plus more, back on and is happy and well loved.

My parents aged out at Telford, starting in independent living and then moving through every level…read moreof care that they had (Skilled, Personal Care, and finally Memory Care). I was not a fan of them moving in due to my perception of "nursing homes" but I learned otherwise in the four+ years they were there. Literally every single person we interacted with from the nursing staff to rehab to cooks, laundry, maintenance staff, etc. was like family. The professional level of care that my parents received (and us as their family) cannot be overstated except to compare it to the compassion that went with it. We were really clueless about what the last years of their lives was going to entail, and the staff here did it so much better than we ever could have. My husband and I ended up getting on the waiting list and now have a deposit down on one of the carriage homes being built; it doesn't get any better than this for end of life experiences. Aside from the fact that the carriage homes are gorgeous, the kind of care that is there as a "safety net" is exactly what we want. The added bonus is us both being on the same campus if one of us starts to fail in later years; not only does the other one not have to move, they can walk to visit, take meals and do activities together, and in some cases actually be together in the advanced care. (My parents were together in Memory Care.). I highly recommend Lutheran Home @ Telford.

My father moved into independent living while my mom had to go into skilled nursing. My father is able to visit my mom everyday since they were located within the same campus. Bad weather no problem, you only have to walk across an enclosed bridge. The various levels of care both my parents have been receiving is exemplary. Telford Lutheran is like the Ritz Carlton of care facilities. When I would visit my Aunt in Florida I wondered why she did not get the same care at her facility. She was paying almost the same every month. Telford may be a little more than other communities but it shows in the care and people they hire. If you are searching for a place for your parents I would put Telford Lutheran on your list to review. You will not be disappointed.

The care she received here was SOOOOOO GOOD that an amazing this happened... She was transferred out of Pine Run (usually a one-way ticket) to Assisted Living at Lakeview's "The Arbor" unit. - where she lived until she died at 96. The staff and aides here were very, very loving, caring & attentive to my grandmother. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is that sometimes the place smeeled really, really bad (it never stank at Lakeview). The need to check the sanitation on the 5th floor.

My mother is staying there following hip surgery. We are actively looking to get her out as soon as…read moreshe is more mobile, but none of us have the money to move her to a fancier facility, and we are waiting on contact from contractors to make her home more disabled-friendly so she can return to it. Agree with the other assessments below, from what my mother and other people who have seen the place are saying. There is no communication with the hospital regarding medications, you cannot find a nurse or doctor to talk to, the medicine she was on and needed to still be on for UTI was stopped...she cannot seem to get it started again... yet she is not being attended to with regard to hygiene, and the need to be helped to the bathroom. When I spoke with her this morning (I am out of state at the moment), she was looking around for towels within reach to put underneath her because they didn't answer any calls to help her to the bathroom! Are they too busy? She said she sees on them out there watching sports on TV? I guess on break, but (!). Very old facilities inside (not updated anytime recently) and she says it smells bad. She says the staff are not very kind to her (in addition to the neglect over the hygiene issue - they might be burnt out and understaffed, that is my guess - but she seems intimidated at their "resentment of the patients"-type attitudes and glaring). She is not a high-maintenance person/Karen-type demanding person. Just having some mobility and UTI/urgency issues after surgery. My guess is that it has gone downhill since the review in 2009 (13 years can make a big difference in the state of a building). Looking forward to getting her out of here.

While the facility itself could use some updating (that's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) the Staff is incredible and they were extremely helpful during my Mother's stay at the facility. Nurses Anna and Vicky were incredible and my Mother, who was not the easiest patient, liked them very much. Unfortunately while at the facility my Mother's health declined quickly (not due to the treatment by the facility) and they helped me to transition my Mother to Hospice and made it possible for my Mom to go home to her own house for her final days. The Director of Nursing and the facility Manager were incredibly helpful in setting up Hospice and were extremely supportive of me as the caretaker. I am grateful to the staff and would recommend them to anyone.

The office did not listen to us when we asked them to disengage regarding any medical interference. They gave medical advise to their caregivers to follow that was 100% wrong. They falsely claimed our parent was in pain, that we ignored it and would not treat it. They did so even after we addressed it with them, and the nurse from the actual medical team confirmed our parent was not in pain and validated we were acting appropriately on our parent's behalf, taking wonderful care of our parent. It's a real shame as the caregivers appear to be conscientious, hard working, caring, kind people.
