My concern regarding our few months of stay is the easy access of housekeeping , maintenance and caregivers to all resident apartments having their own key to be able to access in All the apartments especially when you’re not around .My main concern living here is the privacy noted and security since any one could just come in and out using the stairwell. I wish they also have a lock ( they must have done it before) or use a card pass to enter the small gate or the door opening near the security terminal.

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.

Shannondell at Valley Forge is undoubtedly a well-regarded 55-and-up independent and assisted living community for seniors. While it largely lives up to its reputation as an attractive option for retirees, it is important to take a closer look at some of the aspects that may not align with the expected standards. On a positive note, Shannondell excels in accommodating residents' needs, both in terms of physical assistance and financial considerations. The management demonstrates a strong commitment to ensuring that each resident enjoys a comfortable and fulfilling retirement experience. This level of attentiveness is crucial for seniors looking for a caring and supportive environment. It's concerning to observe that Shannondell's management and staff seem to struggle with accepting criticism from residents. Constructive feedback is a vital component of maintaining a high-quality living community, and residents should feel comfortable sharing their concerns without fear of retaliation
