What this means for your family
Souderton Mennonite Homes is highly regarded for its independent living lifestyle, offering excellent dining and social activities. However, if you are considering the skilled nursing or memory care units, proceed with caution; families have reported significant issues with medical oversight and the handling of personal belongings. We recommend requesting a detailed care plan and asking how the facility tracks personal property during room transfers.

However, families of residents in the skilled nursing and memory care units report serious concerns regarding medical mismanagement, poor communication, and the loss of personal property. Prospective families should distinguish between the highly-rated independent living experience and the more problematic clinical care services.”

“They FORCED our dad from a studio to memory care & he did NOT have dementia! We overheard rumors why he was moved there that are unacceptable!”
“My dad's arm was not supported and what was a very minor fracture was so mis-managed it did not heal well and is permenently deformed.”
