Choose the lifestyle
that suits your needs.
In Pennsylvania, “Personal Care” is the term used for communities that would be considered “Assisted Living” throughout much of the country. Personal Care communities offer private apartments, meals and help with the activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, medication management and more. In addition, many communities like ours offer sophisticated memory care services to help residents with many forms of dementia.
Assisted Living communities in Pennsylvania offer more-medical, skilled nursing services often associated with nursing homes in addition to some of the things listed above.

Costs
When deciding on a senior living option, there are many things that contribute to the value you receive for your monthly rent. While there are tangible benefits such as a private apartment, three chef-prepared meals per day, transportation, daily engagement activities, 24-hour staffing & security and more, there are many less tangible but highly valuable aspects as well.

Arnedra and the entire nursing team at The Residence at Bala Cynwyd are outstanding. They are caring, professional, and always go above and beyond for the residents. I am so grateful for the excellent care and communication they provide every day!
This community is a true gem. I've been in many communities over the years (as both a healthcare and non-healthcare vendor) and it's rare to see such happy and positive staff. They are truly engaged with the residents and not on their cell phones. I work directly with the residents teaching yoga and natural body product making classes and they seem truly happy and enriched. This is a testament to all the staff, but I can say specifically that Activities Director Julia Jackson is dedicated to enriching their lives: Mind, Body and Spirit. The Residence at Bala has gorgeous aesthetics, indoor and outdoor, but its quality goes well beyond the stunning decor.
The Residence is wonderful. Great staff, especially the Director of facilities. They are very responsive and attentive to concerns and needs of the residents.
Pleased to hear a friend's experience was so positive at The Residence of Bala Cynwyd. A supportive and helpful sales team, combined with a beautiful environment, made all the difference. Serving Spirit Home Care is confident in sharing this community to clients, prosects and friends.
As a nearly 2-year veteran of The Residence At Bala Cynwyd, I feel qualified to say that our Engagement Director, Julia Jackson, is in and of herself, reason enough to come live here and enjoy the experience. She’s just a delightful person to be around!
We had a wonderful experience at the Residence for my mother, who entered as a short term hospice resident (partnering in care with Penn Hospice) and lived there for 4 months. While living there, my Mother, myself and my family were always treated with the utmost respect and care, particularly at the end of her time. We always had productive and pleasant interactions with the team there - Catherine, Colleen, Toni, Ken, Arnedra, Marc and many many others - there are so many standout care and dining staff. We were always impressed by the activity schedule, social/happy hours, huge menu offerings and the building itself has so many beautiful spaces for the family to spend time there and dine when visiting. We will always look back on our time there as a blessing and grateful that we found Bala, particularly after touring several other local assisted living facilities.
I always enjoy meeting with Carin Bratsow at Residence of Bala. She is a fantastic asset to the community. I appreciate how she is able to provide open communication about community needs, find creative ways to collaborate, and connect me to partners and networking events
Something special about this place! I toured The Residence at Bala Cynwyd with my grandmother who suffers from lymphedema. Lately, she has been struggling living at home by herself. We spent the entire tour admiring EVERYTHING - the staff, the food, the rooms, the cleanliness, the activities - every single thing was incredible. It's hard to please my grandmother, but this place definitely did...
Worked with Danielle to locate a place for my step father, positive experience!
This is an amazing community, they provide great care, engagement and exquisite meals! Highly recommended!
The food was very good and the spaces were designed with high quality materials. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families. My mother stayed for one month of recovery from a fall and it was great for her. I'd say it's perfect if you want a small, high quality community with a lot of different levels of assistance possible
I visited this facility
We toured The Residence at Bala Cynwyd. It's very new and very nice. Even for wheelchair access, everything's level, and there are no stairs to worry about. It has a lot of activities for seniors. The place has only been six months. The staff was fine. Their floor plan was nice. They have a library, a bar, and an area to watch TV. We had a fruit plate, and it was not a regular meal, but it was good.
The team at Gentiva Hospice is thrilled to be partnering with The Residence at Bala Cynwyd to provide outstanding clinical care and emotional support for its residents. Over the years I’ve had the privilege of working with Residential Care Director, Toni Flowers, to deliver patient centric care plans that truly address the needs of each individual.
Toni’s clinical competence, compassion and consistent approach to ongoing care is evident not only in her own actions, but in the actions of her community’s dedicated team of nurses and caregivers.
So looking forward to continuing to provide outstanding collaborative care with the entire team at The Residence at Bala Cynwyd! Thank you for all you do!
This is a beautiful community with an amazing team of leaders. I highly recommend for you or your loved ones!
Antoinette F is awesome. She is very professional, kind and people person. Antoinette goes above and beyond to make sure your family is properly cared for, and well taking care off. Antoinette is the best person to contact at the residence if you want a good experience.

We recently had the pleasure of touring at The Residence at Bala Cynwyd, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, the professionalism and warmth of the staff were evident. Toni and Arnedra were exceptional in showing us the very beautiful facility.

Julia at resident at Bala Cynwyda is a wonder person who gets everyone to get involved in games and all programs
The staff is so nice I come in to take care of my client and your staff is amazing …Ayesha is great and the ladies in the dining room is great..
Friendly staff all around. I found amenities and activities to be varied and targeted toward the resident’s interests and likes. Options for meals are outstanding. Ensuring the resident’s needs and safety is the number 1 priority. Colleen Grove, Sales Specialist, is a pleasure to work with, she is knowledgeable, and honest. This is a newer facility that is modern, clean, bright, and inviting.
Just want to give a special mention that Toni Flowers, Resident Care Director @ at The Residence at Bala Cynwyd, has shown our family the utmost consideration and prompt response time when given many questions and general issues to sort out. Our Dad is a newer resident of the Reflections Community so initially, there were many adjustments to make and Toni's efforts in coordinating his daily care and assessments were vital to our family feeling like the choice to place Dad at this CCR was the best overall.
The nurses, administration and staff at Residence at Bala have been extremely helpful in caring for my mother-in-law. They are communicative and go out of their way to help.
She is in the memory unit but still has regular access to the outdoors on their secured patio.
Thank you for referring us to this facility.
I have spent many hours each week visiting.
Beautiful building and excellent activities, food, etc.
My father is in the memory care and the staff on that floor are very attentive and caring. Scary never knowing what you will get when moving a parent into an elder-care residence, but this has exceeded our expectations. The only uneasiness is the mix of the MC residents and their level of dementia, having experienced aggressiveness towards my dad from other MC residents. But even that is tamed by the attentive staff.
Very highly recommend this residence.
My mother moved in to the memory unit in [date removed]. The staff had been friendly and communicative. The unit floor is spacious and well lit with sunlight, so it has a warm feeling.
There seem to be w good number of activities going on like coloring, puzzles, and reading. Parking for visits is readily available.
This community has been such a pleasure to work in with focus on the quality of life for our Residents.
Also after having a long day I come home to such a beautiful gift. Thank you Jeniffer!!!
After visiting 7 facilities, we chose The Residence at Bala Cynwyd which is a recently-built community. Mom couldn't be happier. The staff is responsive, skilled, friendly and professional. The units are modern and quiet with lots of natural light. The restaurant is exceptional - with large menu, daily specials and 3 meals provided any time between 7 and 7. The many daily activities are varied, interesting and fun. There are exercise classes every day for residents of all levels. The Residence feels like a luxury apartment building more than an assisted living facility!
The Residence is a bit more expensive than other facilities, but it is so worth it....
