Stapeley was such an amazing destination for my Father. Such an incredible community and caring staff for my Dad as he unknowingly entered the final phase of life. It was close to a year that he was a resident but felt more like many years of friendships and memories. From Peggy and the initial tour to Kathy and Dr. Okolo for all the medical guidance and needs, to Janette at the front desk who always welcomed you with a smile, to Amy the incredible and so very talented Director of Events, to Chaplain John and his words of faith and music to finally all the incredible and amazing residents. Thank you all for the memories and for making Stapeley not just an assisted living location but truly a home where every sunrise brings a new day of fun, adventure and celebration. Many thanks and blessings!

The care, patience, and professionalism at Stapeley surpassed my expectations. The staff, not just an outside service, knows and understands each resident, and handles them with remarkable wisdom. I feel so lucky, after o e poor experience, to have found Stapeley, and cannot imagine my dear receiving finer care anywhere else. Thank you, Stapeley and Brridges staff!

The facility is clean and well maintained but the staff at Stapeley are its best assets. The receptionist in Personal Care, the sales manager and coordinator, the nursing assistants, dining room team, and maintenance staff, all demonstrate competency, caring, and compassion. It was a difficult decision to move my mom to an assisted living facility but I’m glad I chose Stapeley.

In January, my mother became a Personal Care resident at Wesley Enhanced Living at Stapeley. She moved to Stapeley from a high-end independent living facility, in large part to be closer to my husband and me. Though Stapeley is an older facility and not as fancy as the one she left, she (and we!) are finding the Stapeley community to be warmer, more welcoming and with more resident activities and higher participation levels than she experienced in her previous, far more expensive, independent living facility. Though she's only been at Stapeley a month, she has met so many interesting people from both Personal Care and Independent Living who repeatedly tell both my mother and me, "You are going to like it here!" Stapeley is clean, well-maintained and has a warm, home-like aesthetic. The Fireside dining room has very good food and a full and varied menu. Most of the staff we have encountered so far have worked at Stapeley for many years, and everyone has been kind and helpful. The nurses and on-staff doctor have been most attentive; we feel my mother is getting a high level of medical care. We feel grateful my mother has landed where she is. There is, indeed, a good vibe going on in Stapeley.

Wesley is absolutely a wonderful place for skilled nursing/rehabilitation as well as short and long term living. Application process with intake was expeditious and they went above and beyond for my father whose dementia had progressed to a level where he was unable to remain at home with under my care anymore. Nursing and support staff at Wesley are skilled, compassionate, accommodating, and fast. They work incredibly hard and act very patient with challenging residents. The grounds are gorgeous, the facilities are certainly adequate, and cleanliness is sufficient. Some light activities are offered throughout the day to stimulate residents. Staff are eager to incorporate family and loved ones into care plan and communicative about changes. Social work is incredibly helpful in the application process for long term care with low income individuals like my father. They're also not afraid to advocate for resident needs and accommodation with insurance. No nursing home is perfect, but this place is certainly an exceptional choice in Philly. I only wish staff were paid better, but that's an inherent problem in the nursing home care system in America. As someone who was beyond frightened to bring my father into any nursing home, I'm delighted with Wesley at Stapeley.
