Recent reviews of Independent Living in Chester, PA
Merrill Gardens at West Chester
4.1

They're very easy to deal with. They listen to and help you with all of your issues and questions. They've gone out of their way to help my aunt. I'm appreciative of everyone there. They're also one of the most reasonably priced places that I found.

Luther Towers in Wilmington, DE
4.5

For how they try to accommodate the residents, they really go above and beyond. The only thing that is difficult is that my mom can't see that well and the ovens are geared for handicapped people and it's digital and she can't read the numbers. Lot's of activities. They have things like bingo, but they also take them places weekly, like to the store, and the bank, and the doctors.

Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley in Philadelphia, PA
2.4

We chose Wesley Enhanced Living because of the value of the money as well as the convenient location. The staff were so friendly on the tour and that has carried through to this day. The apartment sizes are very good. I think they really pay close attention to the residents and their needs. I would recommend to others looking.
