Resident & family reviews
4.3 · 273 reviewsAs an INDEPENDENT resident, I've enjoyed living in my spacious apartment. My husband and I moved here in 2012. Our lives remain much the same as living in our single home in Myerstown. Our privacy is the same: we come and go as before with no accountability to anyone. We can choose to mingle with others or be completely on our own, staying up as late as we wish, leave the apartment to return in wee morning ours. The apartments are soundproof. Never do we hear others above, below or sides. When I play my piano, the neighbors do not hear me. There were three other apartments we checked at other…

As an INDEPENDENT resident, I've enjoyed living in my spacious apartment. My husband and I moved here in 2012. Our lives remain much the same as living in our single home in Myerstown. Our privacy is the same: we come and go as before with no accountability to anyone. We can choose to mingle with others or be completely on our own, staying up as late as we wish, leave the apartment to return in wee morning ours. The apartments are soundproof. Never do we hear others above, below or sides. When I play my piano, the neighbors do not hear me. There were three other apartments we checked at other facilities. Phoebe has many more positive points. Apartments have double hung windows providing lots of light, a balcony with sliding doors. When we moved, we both were healthy but knew one day there would only be one of us. That day came 4 years later when my husband passed in 2016. I didn't have to sell our home and was acclimated with Phoebe. So, I've been here 14 years total so far. Phoebe provides independent residents everything free with our monthly "rent" ----- heat, air conditioning, garbage collection, all appliances, replacement or repair of appliances, fire extinguishers, bi-weekly cleaning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, air filters/duct cleaning. The community center has a library, swimming pool, exercise machines for a one-time purchase of key, daytime and evening entertainment by outside qualified individuals/groups, activities to do, church services, Peddlers' Shop, and so much more that happens on the campus. Physical therapy department, movie theater, bank, hair dresser, game room are available here. Also, we have meals with menu choices and receive free "dining dollars" to use. We have a dining room, coffee shop, and pub. There is a wellness center providing us medical care by registered nurses when needed. Garden plots and a shed with tools allow you to grow your own food or flowers. Bottom line is: My life has always been a good one. Here my family has peace of mind that help is always available. They don't have to take care of my yard, home repairs, provide food, or worry about my well-being. Life is equal or better here (except I don't have a garage ...the only negative!).
I like being at Phoebe. The staff are excellent and they care about their work. I love that my car is shoveled out in the winter and that I will never need a snow shovel again! Spring , summer and fall the grounds are beautifully maintained with blooming trees, colorful flowers snd handsome shrubs. The food is quite good and the quantities are very large! Phoebe is a great place to live!
I have been a Phoebe resident for almost a year. I love it here!! Lots of activities to do as d great people and staff. This has been a great move for me.

I LOVE living at Phoebe Berks! It's so easy to make new friends, to make your apartment your new home, to select your dinner from a delicious dinner menu, and to walk around the perfectly maintained exterior or interior spaces. When I had a dog, we loved walking along the sidewalk by the woods and into our private woods and now with my cat, I walk three miles a day by walking the second floor of the apartments nine times. My cat loves the deep windowsills and sits in them all day long. I can go in and out and never disturb her intent gaze. Do I have my fenced-in yard or two car garage? No. but when the weather changes and it snows, a staff will shovel out your car and clean it off after they plow the streets and driveways. There are always changes when you move and there are changes moving here, but for the better. Every time.
Everyone is so friendly. They truly represent the phrase "Treat everyone as you want to be treated."
This is a wonderful community with excellent leadership. The Executive Director genuinely values residents and their loved ones, taking in to account their needs and feelings. Phoebe Ministries is a great company that values all employees, and you can feel the support at Phoebe Berks. I recommend this community if you are looking at options for Senior Living and Senior Care.
My father stayed for 2 weeks to help regain his strength after 2 consecutive falls. The nurses were wonderful. They treated the patients, including my dad, with utmost respect and kindness. The OT and PT were extremely helpful in providing us with feedback and in guiding my dad to reaching attainable goals. Thank you all for your professionalism.
We are pleased to be living at Phoebe Berks. We love our apartment, the food selection and quality has been excellent and programs/activities keep us busy. We are anxious to start the new exercise program as it is scheduled.
