The Hearth at Drexel - Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania

My Father spent the final year of his life at The Hearth at Drexel, in the memory care unit, and I am so incredibly grateful that he had that time there. He was treated with so much dignity, compassion, and true caring by all of the amazing staff there. I highly recommend The Hearth to anyone looking for a facility for a loved one.

We relocated my mother in law to the Hearth six months ago and couldn’t be more pleased with our decision. Coming from out of state it was a very stressful time filled with anxiety and sadness for her old home.
It took a good month or so till she really became comfortable and used to her new routine. Throughout it all we found the staff genuinely cared for her and were supportive of us as well.
We live nearby so visit regularly and speak to all the staff frequently. No matter if temporary or staff we have come to know, we have always found them to be helpful, agreeable and sincere. I have never met anyone with anything but a positive attitude.
Honestly I respect and admire all the staff I have met from the top down. We have looked at many Senior Care facilities and am very grateful we found The Hearth for our loved one.

We have had my husbands grandmother at the hearth for a couple of years now. We are quite happy with the facility, each person has their own studio/apartment which really makes it feel like home. The Hearth went out of their way to make our loved one feel comfortable as she transitioned into the setting, with warmth and compassion. They have fun programs such as art, bingo, musical programs, holiday programs, and intellectually stimulating programs for residents to attend. There is also a salon for hair and nails which is an absolute favorite and regularly utilized by our family member. Previously our family member had in home health aids, but that was rather lonely. Now she has many social opportunities on a daily basis even with any of the Covid precautions that were put into place. We like the location very much and are able to easily visit. I would definitely recommend this facility to others.

My father moved to the Hearth at Drexel in June of 2023. He was welcomed warmly from the very start, engaged in the community, and even complimented the delicious meals from day 1. We visit often and know the Hearth at Drexel is the right place for our dad.

My sister moved into the Memory Care Center at the Hearth at Drexel last March. I have nothing but praise for the way my sister has been taken care of by the friendly and helpful staff. In addition, her living space is roomy (bedroom, bath, sitting room, dining area, kitchenette), and attractive, and well-maintained. The food--I've tasted it--is delicious. Of course, I was a bit apprehensive at first about leaving my sister to the care of others, but I can honestly say that she seems very happy at The Hearth. She's always laughing and smiling whenever we visit,
and a heavy weight has been lifted off our shoulders knowing that she likes being where she is. It's a great comfort.

My mother Chloe resided at the Hearth for 6 1/2 years! When she passed away last month, they held a "walk of honor" for her. As I walked by the staff that lined the hallway, I realized how close we had become. Most of them had been working there previous to mom's admission. That tells me the the administration is doing something right to keep them happily employed. I loved visiting when there was a live jeopardy game or card game in the living room because the residents got involved. The art classes, history lectures and special programs gave mom something to look forward to. The food choices are spectacular. Mom raved about the bourbon salmon, beef tenderloin, variety of desserts and the coffee! The staff was aware of her failing before I was. They hospitalized her four times, extending her life. They knew and cared for mom tenderly; showing affection and joking with her. I admitted her in the fall of 2017 with the promise that when her time comes they would bring hospice to her apartment instead of sending her out to a hospital. With such familiar surroundings and faces, mom's passing was relatively easy and calm. I highly recommend The Hearth At Drexel. For my family it was a very very good experience.

My husband who has Alzheimer’s has been a resident at The Hearth for over a year. I needed to make sure he was in a place that took care of him and provided a safe and engaging environment. They respect him and take excellent care of his needs. While no place is as perfect as being in your own home circumstances can make that impossible.i am fortunate he is living in a residential environment with caring staff.

Our Mom relocated to The Hearth at Drexel in November of 2019 from another assisted living center. At the time she moved in she was 89 years old . Our / her experience has been extreme positive, especially during the height of the pandemic. The staff is friendly and attentive to her needs and any requests we have made .

A variety of activities are available to all residents. Special requests are addressed timely and the attention to detail and responsiveness across the board has added to our Mom positive experience.

Communication during the lock down was consistent and remains that way today . . Very little turnover at the management level which is positive . The common areas are clean and well-maintained.
