Holiday Walnut Woods — Local services in Boyertown

I am not a member of this community, but I do have a friend here and can provide you with some experience from a visitors perspective.

The first people you met are the staff, Ashley and Merry, and they are incredibly friendly and helpful. My friends room wasn't ready for him so he was placed in another room for a short time. When his room was available, they had staff carefully move everything over and set it up. My friend was away, so I wanted to make certain everything was in place before he returned.

They would greet me, and we had some wonderful conversations. As I went to visit, I enjoyed watching them doing their activities; they were having fun.

They adjusted things to help him and went out of their way to make him feel comfortable. And that's what a retirement community should be. I found this to be an affordable, enjoyable community where people care and...
