Normandy Farms Estates is a retirement community in Blue Bell, PA, sitting on a 100-acre campus with peaceful, open spaces, and you'll find staff here widely recognized for being friendly and helpful, which helps make the place feel inviting. The community is part of the Acts Retirement network and has several care options, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, rehabilitation therapy, and respite care, so people can move through different levels of care as they need it. You'll notice awards for having engaging activities that keep residents busy socially, physically, mentally, and even emotionally, plus there are common areas for gathering, both indoors and outside, with organized on- and off-site programs, walking clubs, group outings, wine and cheese parties, and book or card clubs.
The meals are prepared with attention to nutrition, using quality ingredients to make sure residents get the vitamins and minerals they need, and dining happens restaurant-style, so it's more social. The campus includes independent apartments, carriage homes, and cottages-some with private studios, one, two, or three bedrooms-so there's a good variety of places to live, and the whole place is set up for maintenance-free living, which means help with housekeeping and laundry is available. The community features indoor gathering spots, outdoor patios, gardens, fitness centers, a swimming pool, tennis courts, a golf course designed by Arnold Palmer, libraries, computer labs, activity rooms, and even hair salons and barbershops. There's transportation for residents, guest accommodations, and parking for visitors.
Health support includes help with diabetes, incontinence, and non-ambulatory care, and the staff are present 24 hours a day, with emergency response systems in place for safety, plus there are devotional and spiritual programs, educational classes, guest speakers, and seminars. Seniors who need more care can find assisted living with help for bathing, dressing, and managing medicines, while active and healthy residents can take advantage of the independent living options aimed at adults 55 and older who do not need health support. For seniors living at home, there are trained aides who visit and provide non-medical care and companionship. Normandy Farms Estates doesn't mention on-site medical care, but does offer supportive health services and a full set of care types. The campus connects to a country club with an 18-hole golf course, and the community is part of a network that includes other locations across several states. Everything on campus is set up to help residents enjoy their days, stay active, and plan for changes in health as they get older.
