Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley

Reviews

My mother age 95 was still living alone when she fell and was found dazed by a daily caregiver we had coming into her home. At the hospital, it was discovered that she had a mild heart attack, and dehydrated. The recommendation was to go to Stapeley's Nursing Home wing for rehabilitation. The staff were great. They handled my feisty mother (who was not happy she was not going home) very well. They increased her physical and cardiac strength all of which made her more mobile and independent. The staff were instrumental in helping the family decide that mom needed more supervision. My mother reluctantly agreed to a stay in the Assisted Living portion of the facility. Stapeley Assisted Living on Greene St. is an urban center in Germantown Pa. The building is well maintained. Much of the original handcrafted oak woodworking remains giving the building a warm feeling. The staff are friendly, cheerful and helpful to both visitors and residents. She can have as much or as little help as she wants. Medical appointments at the facility are monthly for my mom whereas before she would miss medical appointments because of transportation or low motivation to leave the house. She has made some new friends and old friends from the neighborhood can still come by since Stapeley is only 15 minutes from where my mother lived prior to her heart attack. There resident’s population is varied. Some people have mild to moderate dementia but still can get along with some assistance like my mom. Others have physical problems. My mom has made some friendships. The other residents look out for each other and help each other out. The family feels better knowing that there is 24 hour supervision. My brother, sister and I all live out of state, so we rely on Stapley to provide the care we might provide if we lived closer. In all our family is very happy with the care our mother is getting. I work as a neuropsychologist and conducted evaluations in hospitals, nursing home and assisted living facilities. I would place Stapeley Assisted Living in the top 20% of urban facilities that I have been in.

I moved my mom to WEL Stapeley 5 years ago. She is in Personal Care. The staff have been the best! I have been kept well informed of my mother's care and any recommendations from her doctor. She is comfortable and well cared for. Over the 5 years her physical health and cognitive skills have declined but the staff have been able to provide for her. I am at peace knowing my mom is happy and well. Even during the COVID restrictions, I have been kept informed about the numbers of facility staff and residents effected by the virus and the precautions taken. Although we could not visit in person, the staff made sure I could FaceTime or Zoom with my mom weekly.

My father has lived in a personal care apartment at Stapeley for the last three years. Stapeley is a special place, and much of what makes it special are the people who work there. They are devoted, caring, and knowledgeable. They take an interest in all the residents, and really get to know them. The facility is very welcoming and appealing, with a variety of common rooms where classes and activities take place, a fully stocked library, and even a small greenhouse. The schedule of events and activities is varied and includes live music performed by accomplished musicians. The buildings are surrounded by trees, making it feel like an oasis in the city.
