Went on a tour a while back and I must you need a more personable Marketing representative. When one of the first things said was “so let’s talk about money”. Didn’t have all the answers she should have had. Not sure why I didn’t get a warm and fuzzy feeling. Smile, personality and education should be key. HOWEVER, the apartments and the amenities are just fabulous!

The visit we had at Luther Crest in Allentown was good. We looked at the independent living and they had a pool and a very nice gym. There's a bistro we ate there and the food was delicious. We met 2 friends that live there and they took us out to dinner in their bistro restaurant. It's a very big place so we would not consider going there. The independent apartments are close to the auditorium and dining hall so there's a 10-minute walk if you're in the extremity of those wings. A 10-minute quick walk is too far with my wife in the wheelchair all the time. The closer that she is to activities, dining rooms, hairdressers, and therapy rooms, the better it is for us because I have to help her get to those places. If she can go right outside the door and find it on her own, it would be much better.

Very poor service. My mother called and asked me to contact the nurses station because she dropped her buzzer to call the nurses and couldn’t reach it. I called and spoke to them and asked the to go help her. An hour and 15 minutes later, my mother called again and asked if I called. They still hadn’t gone to help her. I had to call back a second time. No sense of urgency whatsoever!!!

The patients wait up to an hour here when ringing to use the bathroom. They claim there is not enough help. Take heed

Luther Crest is the place my mother would like to go to, but it’s outrageously expensive. It has independent living, five different levels of assisted living, and hospice. People move in there in their 70s, then move into the cottages. From there, they can move into an apartment for independent living then into assisted living, go through the many levels of assisted living, and wind up at hospice. You can stay there forever. People living in the cottages can have their cars, so thy can go out and live their lives but have the security of knowing that they’re taken care of and their children don’t have to worry about it. It’s very elegant and everything is top notch. The rooms were beautiful and huge and had lots of storage. My mother happens to know about five people who have lived there, so she wants to move in there. Unfortunately, we can’t afford it; my mother would not have spending money left. In an ideal world, she would probably choose to go there. I didn’t see many people around. There was a big lecture hall with people in there, and others were doing exercises in an exercise room, but I didn’t see people gathering and talking. It didn’t seem very warm and welcoming. It’s much nicer than all of the others I've seen put together, but it’s not for my mother. I think it would be perfect for someone who’s very wealthy and going in there at a young age.

Luther Crest was very lovely and had a lot of amenities, but it was way beyond our price. The staff seemed very nice. There were the usual activities, but they also had a swimming pool and a hot tub. It was very lovely but much too expensive. We could have seen an apartment, but we honestly don't want an apartment; we would rather have a little cottage. It was very plush and very upscale.

Thank you, Lou13, for your feedback regarding your recent visit to Luther Crest. Luther Crest is owned and operated by Diakon and we have 9 campuses across PA and MD. Perhaps one of our other locations may be a better fit for your budget and what you are looking for. The Lutheran Home at Topton is less than 30 minutes from Luther Crest and offers cottages with lower priced entry fees. Feel free to contact us at 1-844-Diakon1 for more information about any of our 9 campuses.

I was very impressed with Luther Crest. It was very attractive and very clean. My daughter and I showed up unannounced, and a very nice gentleman named Matt who was in charge of sales gave us a tour. There was not a cottage available to tour, but the apartments were very nice. We're on the young side of the scale, and that was pretty much the drawback. The average age that we were told was about 80, and we're not quite there yet. They also had a nursing facility, which was very nice and clean, no bad smells. I would give it a very positive review except for the age difference. Matt followed up and called me back, and I did voice that concern with him; he did say that the people living in the cottages were younger group, which I did not see when I was there. We also toured the dining room, and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves. There was a crafts room, a billiard room, a library, and a nice indoor pool.

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us your feedback from your recent tour with Matt at Luther Crest! Since you weren't able to see a cottage the day of your visit, we would love the opportunity to show you one when you are able to return. If you are able to give us a day or two's notice of when you plan on visiting again, we can arrange to show you a resident occupied cottage and to have you stay as our guest for lunch! Since we don't currently have a model cottage to show, we need to pre-arrange a cottage visit with our residents who have offered to show our guests their unit.

Luther Crest is a big place, but it’s pretty good in as far as the size of the bedroom apartment. It’s a long way from one end to the other, and It’s uncomfortably large for me. I’m not big on the buy-in feature. They cranked up a nice lunch and stuff.
Provider Response
Dear Richard83977250: Thank you so much for your recent visit to Luther Crest! Often, when touring a community such as ours, the community may appear to be extremely big as the sales and marketing staff want to ensure you see everything that the community has to offer. We completely understand your concern which is why we have convenient apartments centrally located near the main community center. We are glad you were able to experience lunch provided by our wonderful culinary team. Thank you for taking the time to comment on your experience at Luther Crest.
