Assisted Living Communities in Easton, PA

"I like everything about Whitehall Manor. It's clean, and there's always someone around to help the residents if they want to have something special done. The caretakers are clean, and most of them have masks on them. My friend's room is always clean, and he likes the food. They have a very wide spectrum of entertainment and things to do. They have bingo, services, singing, crafts, and other entertainment. The meals always had a nice presentation. The lighting is good. The hallways are always clear. There isn't anything that needs to be upgraded on my side of things."

"Mira Vie at Brookfield was terrific. The staff who gave the tour was terrific, too. She showed me everything she possibly could show me. They were having a live music presentation at the time, and I was looking at the group of people in there listening and watching. Most were bobbing their heads or keeping time with the music with their feet. They all seemed to be enjoying it. I got a look at the entire week's activity on the main bulletin board in the lobby, so you're able to see what's going to happen on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday, and so forth, and so it was very well organized. I looked at the dining room and it was neat and clean, too. The staff showed me a one-person room. It had all the amenities that you could need for one person, including a step-in shower with grips. They show movies every so often, and the staff said that the movie room is always open if for some reason one of the residents can't sleep, and they want to just come down and put on a movie of their choosing, they can do that. I met the chaplain over there. He seemed very nice. After we were all done with everything, the staff took me to a conference room. We sat down and we probably talked for a good 45 minutes to an hour. She answered any questions that I had and filled in any gaps she might have left out. She gave me her card and told me she was going to stay in touch with me. I felt very, very comfortable over there. And the staff that we passed, whether they were in the hall or they were going somewhere, they all said hi, smiled, nodded, or whatever. They can arrange transportation for you. You can use their medical people or they'll take you to your own doctor of choice. It just seemed to have everything."

"Renaissance Home Northampton was a good place. It's more for a single person than a married couple. It's rather small for married people. The service was excellent. Most of the amenities are there. The staff members were very helpful. They were very good. The facility was very clean. The layout was nice. I like the fact that it was very close to where we are now, so some of my family could come and visit. They had a very nice lunch. They are getting nutritious food. There was no sign of it being a nursing home at all. There was no smell."

"I'm leaning towards Phoebe Allentown. They were very, very nice, I filled up all the applications, gave them the documents they wanted. The apartments were much smaller than what I have here. They have transportation, one meal a day, socialization and activities, and in their continuing care they have assisted living down the street and nursing home. It was clean and it is maintained, there's no problem there. The staff was very wonderful."

"They are fabulous. It is a great place. I am so glad that we took mom there. They are very caring, she is safe and happy, and they are great people. The food is wonderful; it is all homemade."

"Had a great experience visiting this location to see my family. grounds are amazing, residents all seemed so happy and staff was so friendly and accommodating!"

"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."

"Our second choice for my parents would be the Atrium of Allentown. The marketing sales team was good there. They were super helpful. It's a newer facility, so the building is nice. They have a more active memory care facility. Every time we went to visit there, there was always a large group of people doing activities together. The activities there were more robust than what was going on at the other place. They had a lot of onsite services available, too. It's a large rectangle. There's a courtyard for memory care that's accessible for residents. They have a spot where they can go. The tour experience was great. They were very accommodating. It was very good. The staff who gave the tour was great, too."

"I toured the memory care of Heather Glen Senior Living. It was very well maintained. A beautiful facility. The person who gave the tour was very knowledgeable and very informative. It was top-notch. It was very good. I saw the dining area and I was very happy with the setup. The attendants were there with the residents and it was very good."

"The Legend of Allentown provided a warm and inviting family environment. The facility was excellently maintained and very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We worked with the Sales Director who was amazing- she helped our brother find a wonderful apartment and did everything possible to help us prepare for his arrival. She met with our brother in his rehab facility and spent much time helping him understand the facility and was very welcoming to him and our family. The Legend’s front desk staff and the maintenance person were tremendous in preparing his apartment for his arrival. The respect afforded the residents was very evident and was important in our choice. In our preparation for choosing Legend of Allentown, we toured many facilities in the area and none compared to the cleanliness, newness of appearance and the friendliness of staff and residents. We felt at home at the facility even before our brother was due to arrive. As we worked very closely with the Sales Director and ensured all was ready for his arrival, his admission was canceled due to multiple medical emergencies and he eventually passed away before ever going to Legend of Allentown. Our sadness over losing our brother was supported by the staff at Legend who was so kind and caring over our sadness and loss. In summary, we would recommend Legends of Allentown as an excellent facility and a loving destination for a family member and although we could not experience with our brother, our personal experience in preparing for his stay was tremendous."

"The Willow was wonderful. The host that took me around was great. It was very clean. The atmosphere was nice. I liked everything about it. The rooms were very clean. They were a little small but that's normal. I was impressed by how clean it was. It was a one-bedroom, and it was right near the dining area. For activities they were doing bingo. It was nice. It was a good atmosphere."

"My mom moved into The Palmerton. We liked that it was smaller, so it was more personalized care. They're very nice people, very accommodating, and they are working with us to try to figure out all the different nuances of the care that my mother needs. They've done a phenomenal job of meeting her and trying to draw her out to come and join the community and meet other people. They've been very, very nice. The size of my mom's room is wonderful. We were able to bring in a love seat, several end tables, and other things, as well as pictures. We were able to personalize the room. The maintenance supervisor was amazing as far as helping us get the materials we needed and setting up the room so that it was comfortable and more likely to be familiar to my mother. The dining area people were very, very nice. They were very concerned about getting to know what would work for my mom. She had some special needs as far as vision and things like that. And they wanted to be able to work with her on that. They placed her at a table with other women who would be able to communicate and draw my mom out, and were very accommodating because my mother's boyfriend was coming up to visit her and was having dinner with her, so he could join the table and be able to spend time with my mom. They had discussions, bingo, outings, social gatherings, and outside discussions. They have people who come in and work with the residents. It's a large Pennsylvania Dutch area, and they're having an activity that talks about Pennsylvania Dutch history and involves the residents in that."

"I love Spring Village at Pocono. I spoke with some of the residents, and they love it there. What I like about them is that they put a certain level of people on one floor, another level on another floor, and another level for the people that have dementia or whatever, and I like that. And then on the second floor is where they have people that were like my mother-in-law who need somebody to give you medication and who need help bathing and dressing and things like that. So I like the way they match people up. The people on the first floor are the ones who can walk to the dining area, which is very nice with tablecloths and plate settings. The staff showed me a room where my mother-in-law would be close to the elevator versus being down the hall, so this guy was amazing. He's wonderful. I met the girl at the desk, and she was nice, too. It's a very high rating facility. I would go there myself. You could get a single room and a shared room. And it was reasonably priced. The activities room was long and big, so you could go there and do puzzles and adult coloring. They have all that stuff there. There's a nice sitting room to watch TV. They play bingo. They make trips to the casino and to the mall. It was just a nice place. With their menu, if you didn't like what was today, you can order off another menu. For breakfast, they had scrapple and grits, and I loved that. I met the lady in the dining hall, and she was nice, too."

"My friend moved into Penn Assisted Care. It was a good match for him. It wasn't a hard process at all. The staff members are very helpful. They take the time to address any situations that need to be addressed. They're very professional. My friend likes the food. They have day rooms and people interact with each other. It's a pleasant setting and very personal."
