Assisted Living Communities in Allentown, PA

"My friend is here now, and I've been in there many times. It's clean with big rooms, and the staff is great. They have good people there. It's a real nice place."

"Bethlehem Manor seemed very nice and well-staffed. I tried the food, and it seemed to be pretty nice. The rooms were spacious, and the community was very livable. I believe physical therapy was offered. The residents seemed to enjoy all the activities that they were doing and they seemed to look forward to doing them."

"I had a very good experience visiting The Willow. It's a newer facility. All the rooms were very nice. The living atmosphere was very friendly. Everybody seemed to be happy there. I saw one or two people in the hallway and they stopped to chat."

"Renaissance Home Northampton was a nice place. When I got there, the staff was helping out the residents. They were having a game day or something like that. Everybody was out having a good time. You have to wear a mask though and I'm not into that. The staff was very helpful to me. They have a TV room, a game room, and an outdoor patio with gardens where they could plant flowers or vegetables."

"Atria Bethlehem is what I like best. I felt like I was with a friend. Her name was Dory. I was comfortable with her right from the very beginning. The room she showed me was slightly bigger than the rest, but basically the same thing. She showed me a resident's room. The woman said it was OK for us to go look, and apparently, it is a little bit bigger than the others. The room itself is nice and clean. There's enough room. There wasn't anything negative to say. The only thing that differs is the cost. Parking was great and plenty. I didn't have to walk too far. They had a patio in the back. They have a couple of chairs out and one or two tables, but because of the weather, not many people were going outside."

"The Birches of Lehigh Valley is the absolute BEST! I’ve been exposed to multiple assisted living facilities in the area and NONE compare to this amazing place. My dad has never been happier. The care is incredible. The staff care about their residents and take pride in their service work. It’s clean and smells wonderful inside. Truly the best in the area and I couldn’t be happier that my dad can call The Birches his home."

"I could not have chosen a better place for my husband. Everything was always clean, the nurses and staff always caring and friendly, and all the residents seemed happy. I am very thankful that I chose Cornerstone and highly recommend."

"My sister moved up to Phoebe Richland Community. It was very welcoming. They gave her all the physical therapy she could handle, which was great. She had physical therapy almost every day and occupational therapy almost every day when she got there. She still gets it quite frequently. The staff is very nice. She enjoys the other residents there. She says she has a wonderful time getting to know them and they're very caring also. I was there one Saturday when the director himself was helping someone move into their memory care area. He was moving the clothing and stuff in himself on a Saturday. They're just delightful. There's an exercise class of some kind every morning, wheelchair volleyball, chair, or tai-chi. There's at least one activity every morning and one or two activities every afternoon. Every day I call or when I talk to my sister, she'll say, "Oh yes, we had an exercise this morning." It's a smaller place, so they can't offer the diversity of activities that a larger facility might offer. The assisted living has a beautiful lounge area when you walk in. The dining room is lovely. You couldn't ask for anything better. I get no complaints from my sister except there's no salt, but she can bring some herself. That's for health reasons. I saw two small library reading areas, a game room, a big lounge, and a dining room. She's in a temporary room right now because there were no rooms available, so it's a little small but very nice and furnished. It has a dresser, a wardrobe, a chair, a bed, a little kitchenette, and a beautiful bathroom that's handicapped accessible. It is less expensive than others for definitely something better. Their staff is especially caring. This place is much more consistent with their staffing, which means the staff gets to know their people better."

"Penn Assisted Care seemed very organized and well-staffed. The residents were very, very happy there, and everybody was very friendly. The staff who gave me the tour was really good. He was very patient and caring. He knew the residents and they knew him. He wasn't just the salesperson, he was involved with the residents there. The rooms were a nice size, and they were pretty much allowed to make it homey. I saw what they were eating and it looked like the normal home-cooked kind of food."

"i visited the memory care unit last sunday. The staff in there were working so hard helping all the residents in there. They had the residents together talking with them. the residents were smiling and laughing. i was very happy seeing my neighbor enjoying herself in there. "

"I toured Renaissance Home Forks. It was very good. We were more than satisfied. Steve, who gave us the tour, did a great job and answered our questions. The apartment was more than reasonable. It had a nice space. They showed us a lounge room and the dining hall. They showed us several different rooms. We got to speak with the manager a little bit, and the chaplain."

"The care provided for my mother by Hidden Meadows on the Ridge & The Laurels is excellent. They have activities, like bingo, and crafts, like knitting, crocheting, and stuff like that. They have several rooms where visitors can sit and meet with their family members. The activities are in a bigger area on one floor."

"I would recommend Chestnut Knoll to anyone. Our Dad, Pop-Pop, and Pop-Pop-Pop, was a resident at Chestnut Knoll for almost 5 years. It was his choice to move there, but the family agreed. What we saw was a clean, odor-free facility. What we felt was a sense of family. The staff treated Dad and the others as family. Any question or concern we had was addressed. The administrators doors were always open. A new physical therapy program was started and Dad loved it because Medicare would only allow PT for a short time and after he was forced to stop, he would decline. He thrived with the new program with Fox. Chestnut Knoll welcomes the whole family, from children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and grand-dogs, too, to visit and take part in their celebrations. As Dad neared death, we saw the love the staff had for him. We saw it in their eyes, we heard it in their words, and felt it in their actions toward Dad and us. We were never sorry our Dad spent the last years at Chestnut Knoll. It was home for Dad and we were comfortable in visiting him at his home. "

"It was time for my mother to move to an assisted living facility. After visiting many facilities, we selected Keystone Villa at Fleetwood. My mother has been living there for over 30 days now. We both agree this has been a very good decision. The staff patiently answered our many questions prior to moving in and supporting my mother during her transition. Several staff members visited my mother’s home several times to provide information. Based on observations, the relationship between staff and residents is very relaxed and comfortable. Residents are very friendly and my mother has already found a buddy to take daily walks. I consider the facility to be in very good condition and to be well maintained. My mother reports the food is very good and loves the desserts. In conclusion, we consider Keystone Villa to have been a very a very good decision and recommend Keystone Villa at Fleetwood to anyone looking for a quality and enjoyable experience in assisted living."
