Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received a plethora of positive feedback, underlining the exceptional care and attentiveness from its staff. From nursing and rehab services to the admissions and social activities directors, many reviewers praised the professionalism, kindness, and efficiency of the team members. Various therapeutic and social services have significantly contributed to patients' recovery and well-being. The facility has been described as clean, well-maintained, and accommodating. Family members felt included in the care plans, appreciated the regular updates, and were reassured by the staff's proactive approach to addressing residents' personal care needs. Activities such as BINGO, music listening, and tailored TV programming are highlights for the residents, enhancing their daily lives.
However, there were isolated concerns regarding cleanliness and hygiene, with mentions of dirty clothing and faces, and a lack of hand sanitizer stations, which was particularly worrying for one reviewer. Another pointed out the insufficient amenities like no water in a patient's bathroom, forcing the use of a potty chair. Despite these criticisms, the weight of positive sentiment towards the compassionate care, the variety of stimulating activities, and the personal touch provided by the staff overshadows the few negative remarks. Ambler Extended Care Center stands out for its dedicated staff and their efforts to create a welcoming, comfortable environment for all residents and their families, while still room for improvement in facility maintenance and hygiene practices was noted.
