Are you or a loved one having difficulty with everyday activities such as showering, dressing and managing medications? Would you like to get the daily support you need, while remaining as independent as possible?

If so, a supportive senior living community might be right for you.  Although there are so many communities from which to choose, why not select a brand-new one that offers superior personal care, full-service hospitality services and a diversity of amenities – and feels like home?

The Arbors at Buck Run in Feasterville will opened its doors to the public in the spring. with a unique campus  offering two separate buildings connected by an enclosed walkway.

Fifty-one residents  call the community’s three-story supportive living building home; a one-story building will offer state-of-the-art Alzheimer’s and dementia care to 71 residents. Whether you’re independent and you’d simply enjoy three daily meals, housekeeping and laundry services, or you need more personal care, The Arbors at Buck Run’s experienced, highly-trained staff can accommodate your needs.

The community’s certified nursing assistants are available 24/7 and a 24-hour emergency call bell system in each room will ensure your needs are met right away, regardless of the time. Residents at The Arbors at Buck Run can age in place; this means that residents who move here can adjust the assistance the staff provides to them as their needs change.

“We can change your care accordingly when it’s needed,” says Jessica Strom, Director of Sales and Marketing at The Arbors at Buck Run. “Each resident receives a personalized plan of care. It’s fluid, and changes with the needs of each person.”
