The activities offered for the residents are great! Still trying to figure out the personal care and getting into a routine. The meals are great. Mom is still acclimating herself

Sage’s mission is to create the best home for each member of the SageLife family every day by encouraging, empowering, and celebrating successful aging. Through forward thinking, Sage has developed communities that have tremendous flexibility to customize their services. That’s why we can provide the amenities and the care you want and need. On your terms.

Echo Lake is located in Malvern, Pennsylvania, within the picturesque community of Atwater. Our community is situated in rolling hills of beautiful Chester County, less than 10 miles from Paoli, Devon-Berwyn, and Frazer, and less than 20 miles from Chester Springs, Exton, Chesterbrook, and West Chester. Our resident families often hail from Main Line communities within Philadelphia’s western suburbs. Echo Lake is within walking distance of outdoor activities, dining options and waterview retail shopping.

Echo Lake review
Echo Lake is understaffed and we would not recommend assisted living to other families. There are many areas they could work to improve on. However our loved one has since passed so not sure if their staffing has changed for the better

Thank you for your feedback. Transitioning into a senior living community is a big step for some and we want to insure that both you and your mom feel at ease. If there is anything additional we can do to help you both acclimate, please do not hesitate to reach out to our nursing team. Best wishes.

A Great Community
It's a great community. They are seriously lacking staff, which is just a sign of the times. And that carries through into the dining experience and the care. But the staff that is there are good. I would just recommend asking about the staff to resident ratio. But everyone is very friendly and helpful. The residents are very nice as well. The facility is very clean. When I go into the elevators and the rooms, I can smell a good clean smell like everything has just been cleaned.

Highly Recommend
It's a great place to have your loved one go. They really care for your mother or father you have going there. They exceed all expectations. They provide a plethora of activities. The staff does a great job of communicating with us regarding anything with our loved one. They have a doctor that comes weekly and we can make an appointment that is done on site for the residents. Her 1 bedroom apartment is a nice sized. She doesn't have to cook if she doesn't want too. They will deliver the food to her room but she enjoys the food options for a charge. I can't say enough about them. We can sleep at night knowing she is well taken care of.

A great place for Mom
The staff that I have spoken with are really nice and seems really helpful. My loved one is in memory care and sometimes gets upset about being in a locked area. This is a good community and I would recommend looking into it for you or your loved one. It is hard being away and not being able to see everything and not being able to go with what my mother says. They also have someone in the hair salon twice a week for the residents but it can be hard to get into. They also do not have a lot of variety on the menu for the memory care residents and I wish they could update the menu.

This community was a little more pricey than what I was looking for. Also my loved ones did not want to drive that far to see my other loved one. This was a very informative and good tour at this community.

Echo Lake is a new facility and it is so beautiful. We did not move my mom in here due to the secluded location, but I would tell others to check it out.

I would recommend
We chose Echo Lake because it is new so it is bright and cheery and clean. They also had some incentives going on. They do not have a lot of activities provided in memory care. I gave the care a 3 because they are understaffed, the people that they do have are great, they just need more since they are growing. The food is excellent. I would recommend to others looking.

Hi, Gail Thank you for the recommendation! We're glad you are pleased with Echo Lake's dining and our wonderful care staff. We are working diligently to increase our staffing as we grow while facing a nationwide shortage of caregivers. We are aided by the fact that Echo Lake is not only a great place to live, it's a great place to work, too!

Supportive and Compassionate Community
Echo Lake is a great community. The staff at the community do a great job. I don't feel my loved ones are in danger; however, the community is just short on staff. Some of the activities available are exercise classes, pickleball, game clubs, trips out to different areas in the town, concert broadcasts, and more in the independent living area. The community is nice so my loved ones can be in different areas and be able to visit each other. On the memory care area they provide exercise classes, meal preps, staff assisted the residents engaged with different activities and going to meals. Echo Lake provides the option to live in the memory care area, if you are able and willing to live with your loved one who has memory care needs. They have apartments available for the residents to use if they choose this option. It has a resort or hotel feel in this brand new community. The ceilings are tall and the hallways are wide. This makes it nice for my loved ones.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living.

Echo Lake offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Echo Lake 6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
