My mother fell and broke her hip last year. When she was ready to be discharged to a nursing home, I went and looked at a whole bunch of places. It came down to Saunders House and Bryn Mawr Terrace. I went with Saunders House because it's closer to mom's house and mine.\r

Saunders House is great because it doesn't smell ""like a nursing home."" The staff, especially the activities people and the ones who plan the parties, are so nice and helpful. There were a lot of great volunteers who really cheered my mom up with friendly visits (from people and pets!). At first I didn't think it would matter if my mom went to a for-profit or a non-profit nursing home. I'm glad I chose the non-profit. It really made a difference.\r

Mom did great with her rehab, and now she's back at home. I wholeheartedly recommend Saunders House if you or a loved one need a nursing home.
Pros: Clean, great staff and volunteers, fun activities
Cons: Route 30 has a lot of traffic
