Assisted Living Communities in Whitehall, PA

"Atria in Bethlehem was very pretty and seemed like a very nice facility. It was very clean. It looked like the food was very good and they had different food selections. The staff seemed nice. They had somebody painting nails there, and they seemed to have activities for the people. The rooms were very nice, but the bedrooms were very small and would not fit a king size bed. It was out by itself; it wasn't really in a neighborhood. It was more on like a farm area, but it was in the middle of nowhere, and it was quiet. I would highly recommend the place. "

"The assisted living facility that we would go to would probably be Abode Care of Allentown. What we liked most was the interaction between the staff and the residents. As we were going around, the staff member who was taking us on a tour stopped and talked to the residents. She seemed to know them all by name. One of the residents, when she heard that we were looking at places for my mother, said, 'Oh, you have to come here. It's great. It's wonderful.' So the residents like it. Along the way one of the residents was having a personal crisis, so she stopped and she took care of that issue. It was the interaction between the staff and the residents that appealed to us most. It was a little bit older than some of the other facilities that we had toured, but it was clean, and it was nicely arranged. The rooms were a nice size. The staff was very knowledgeable about the facility. She interacted well with the residents. She had a very good balance of seeing our needs and seeing to the residents' needs as we toured the facility. We saw the eating area, but we were not there during mealtime. They had shower schedules, the rooms were a nice size, and the facility was well kept up and clean. "

"My siblings and I tried to find a home for our mother and dad. We checked several places and settled on Heather Glen Senior Living. We liked the openness of the halls and large common areas. Dad is now living by himself and we know he is being taken care of daily. "

"The person who met us at the Atrium of Allentown was so great. We didn't make an appointment and were just driving past it. There was a sign out front that said tours available, so we went in and took a tour of their assisted living facility. It happened to be the day that they were having their holiday party, but the girl who is the director stopped what she was doing in the middle of the party and gave us a tour. She was wonderful and told us they had availability. She also took the time to answer our questions, so she was fabulous. We liked the room, and we were happy with the location. The staff also seemed very attentive. It's a fairly new facility, so it was very clean, modern, and a farm-style type of community."

"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."

"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."

"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. "

"Renaissance Home Forks was very nice but they don't have a kitchen and I like to cook. So that's a negative for that one. I prefer to have my own kitchen. The building was very nice. I liked it. It was a very nice facility in a nice location. It's close to things. I almost would not need a car, because my car is costing me lots of money between the insurance and the car payments. The gentleman was very nice and very helpful. We sat and talked for a while until I had to leave. I was impressed with that. They have a room for dining and activities. I've talked to another gentleman who's been there over a year, and he likes it. Were it not for the no kitchens, I considered that facility a strong possibility. Other than that, it was wonderful and I liked the location. You could walk to a grocery store or shops and it wasn't right in the middle of things. It was in a nice area that wasn't too heavily trafficked or built up. Not quite rural but not quite suburban either."

"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."

"This is a review for The Laurels at Hidden Medows on the RIdge, the memory care facility. I am deeply grateful that we found the Laurels at Hidden Meadows for our 90-plus year old parents. The surroundings including the building itself the landscaping are just beautiful - welcoming, warm and inviting. It was easy to recreate a part of my parents' home inside the Laurels which made the transition so much easier. The heart of any health care facility is the staff and the staff here is just phenomenal - so caring, loving and helpful and there when you need them. The food is delicious [having eaten several meals there] and the activities for the residents are creative, varied and fun. You cannot find a more loving, open environment for your loved one. "

"I found Chestnut Knoll through Caring.com. It seems a very nice facility for my husband. It is actually only about 10 minutes from my home. All the amenities that we need are all there and they are very good. It would have been really convenient for me to put my husband there, unfortunately the cost of the facility was a little bit more than I could manage. "

"The only thing my uncle looks forward to at his age in seeing his friends and enjoying a good meal. My uncle has made some really good friends here with other people including some staff. He also loves the food here and says they good size meals to. Since my uncle has been here he's happier but with this pandemic, I haven't been able to see him like I did in the past. I don't blame Maple Shade but at least he's safe."
