Amity Place sits in a quiet spot in Douglassville, PA, serving seniors from Berks and Montgomery County, and you'll find a single-story community with bright windows and plenty of open space, plus flowering gardens and a peaceful courtyard that's got a gazebo, covered patio, and some old-fashioned rocking chairs for folks who like to sit outside. Residents can choose studios, single rooms, semi-private rooms, suites, or bigger "super suites," and most of these come with kitchenettes, large closets, and up to 600 square feet of living space, so there's usually a good fit for different needs, and you can have overnight guests if you want. They've got all-inclusive pricing, with assisted living starting at $4,982 and a one-time community entry fee of $2,500, plus they accept checks and credit cards and even offer cost assistance, financial advice, as well as help with VA benefits for those who need it.
Meals are served restaurant-style and include homemade snacks, made to keep people healthy in body and mind, and if you like to cook, you might want to join the cooking club. The staff includes skilled nurses on site (part-time), specially trained aides, and there's in-house laundry, dry cleaning, and regular housekeeping, so there's no need to worry much about chores. For personal care, help's available for showering, dressing, toileting, and grooming, plus they manage medications, and they offer up to one hour per day of personal care for those who need it. In case someone can't stay full-time, the community offers respite care and short-term stays, and both assisted living and memory care are on-site, supporting people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with therapies to help reduce confusion and wandering.
Social life's encouraged with regular game nights, Nintendo Wii bowling, a cooking club, and offsite trips, and the activity room is usually pretty lively. There's also a Pro Shop, plus a salon and barber services if you need a haircut. Recreational and wellness programs include senior yoga, fitness sessions, and digital technology classes, and people use the arts and crafts areas or enjoy gardening outdoors. Amity Place lets people live as independently as possible, with independent living and home care options available too, and if you want religious services, those are held right in the building. The "Care Your Way" program means care's tailored to each resident, and they try to make life comfortable and safe for everyone. Transportation's free, so people can get to appointments or go shopping, and there's a state license (number 226560), so everything's done by the book. Scheduling a tour is the way to see the place, meet staff and residents, and really get a feel for daily life at Amity Place.
