My 93 year old mother and her 18 year old cat have lived in one of their bedroom with separate living area rooms for 3 years and loves it. The staff are extremely wonderful, so attentive and caring, even when mom goes to the hospital, the staff feed the cat and give it attention. The home is very well kept, clean and inviting. The Activity Director offers activities through out the day that gives the residents opportunities to socialize and keep busy if they wish. Their maintenance man is more of a son to all the residence and attends to all their needs. The administrators are within the building and accessible to answer any concerns or questions. Strake has been a God send for my Mom. I highly recommend checking this place out.

If you’re looking for a wonderful place for your loved one, then look no further. The caring nature of the staff as a whole really makes this place special. They have two enclosed courtyards for entertaining with one housing a full farm-to-table style garden! Excellent food, excellent activities, and excellent location. Nowhere in the surrounding area offers this type of living at this type of price!

Shannondell at Valley Forge was our dream retirement community, but it has transformed dramatically since we moved in before the pandemic. Initially, it was an active 55+ community, with vibrant residents, outstanding restaurants, and elegant evenings where we'd dress up for dinner. Fast forward, and it's disheartening to witness the shift. Most residents now rely on scooters or walkers, and in the communal spaces one can find residents napping on furniture along with their caregivers, despite management's disapproval. The place is now reminiscent of a nursing home. The decline in the living environment has been disheartening. My advice to prospective residents is to thoroughly assess the current state of Shannondell, as it no longer embodies the vibrant, active community it advertises. Look closely and don't rely on what marketing tells you.

My mom had a terrible experience. From the day we moved in, there were issues. The device to call the nurse and listen to te TV was broken and we were told they would get to it at some point. My mom went in relatively healthy but one week later, she had to be transferred back to the hospital. She had a fever, a UTI swollen limbs and hands, delirium, she was left in her soiled diapers for hours, she couldn’t breathe but for some reason they fought with us because they didn’t want to treat her. We begged them to treat her for her health issues because she was getting worse and worse. But the staff was rude and deliberately not helpful. Overall nightmare. Back in Bryn Mawr hospital finally getting the care she needs and deserves.
