The Best Independent Living Communities in Lehigh County, PA

"My mother and I toured Traditions of Hanover during the summer. Our tour guide was Spencer, who was very thorough, informative and so incredibly kind! We were so impressed with the facility and its amenities, the friendly and attentive staff members and the planned activities, that my mother put herself on the wait list at the end of our tour. She is really looking forward to joining this community and I’m excited for her. It’s a comfort to know that she will be residing in such a safe, fun, comfortable and positive environment!"

"We toured Sterling Heights Gracious Retirement Living. They don't have an oven or a stove in the room, and my friend would like to be able to use a stove and an oven in her room. However, the upkeep was very nice."

"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."

"My father-in-law moved to Renaissance Home Forks in Easton. He is there for assisted living. The manager I've been dealing with has been very helpful and informative. We've met most of the people who work there, too, and everyone seems very nice. We have no issues or complaints. He had to go with a shared room because of cost, so there's one other gentleman in his room. He has a bed, a dresser, a nightstand, a chair, and, of course, a bathroom there. We've been in the dining area when they've been eating, and it seems very nice. They usually have a different menu every day, so that's pretty nice, too. There's also plenty of parking there."

"I visited the independent living community of Holiday Walnut Woods in Boyertown. What I like best about it is that it was very clean. The thing I liked least was that they didn't have stoves in the independent living quarters. Other than that, the staff was great, and the place was pet-friendly, which I loved. It is very clean and very lovely. If I were to be ready to go into an independent living center, I would choose this one."

"It seemed like a caring place with plenty of activities. The staff was very nice. We toured the entire facility and saw more than one room. "

"The people at St. Mary Center For Rehabilitation & Healthcare were wonderful, very helpful, very knowledgeable, very professional, very amiable, personable, and very concerned that I learned what I would need to know to see if my father would be comfortable. The rooms were wonderful. Each room has its own mailbox. The studio was not too small. I thought it was the perfect size for my dad. They have a nice bathroom, nice storage, and you get your own door out into the courtyard. There's a couch there, and it's gorgeous. Their campus is like 22 acres, and they have various courtyards and barbecue areas, things that come alive a little more in the late spring and summer. They have their own little cement patios in each unit, so they can sit out and watch the birds, get some fresh air, and see what the neighbors are up to. It was just an upbeat place. They got a salon. It just seems like you wouldn't have to go anywhere if you were there. It's a very neat dining setup where it looks like a diner. I would love to go there every day. They have three squares and snacks, but they have a setup where they have like napkins, ketchup and mustard, and salt and pepper. It's very user-friendly."

"Hudson Estates Gracious Retirement Living was nice. I got literature and stuff. They only have like one- and two-bedroom. They said that once they get it cleaned up, that place will go. All of the amenities and all of the offerings that they have sound and look great. We got to speak to one of the people that lived there, and they said it was a wonderful place to be. I think it would be good for my father to be amongst the people with all the activities that they offer. It was a couple who assisted me and they were very great in answering questions and asking me if I had additional questions, which I didn't at the time. They gave me a nice packet to take and they also offered, since my dad did not go with me, us to come back and have lunch with them so we could taste the food because she swears by their meal plan. They did give me a giveaway, and it had a mug and a muffin. They had a garden and a wonderful dining room. They had several laundry facilities on each floor. They have a fitness center, a movie theater, and games places. They have a conference room type thing that they offer to the people that live there. They can have up to ten people have dinner in there and they serve you."

"My mom has been at Emeritus for about three weeks now. The facility is beautiful, and the staff is great. The food, from what I understand from my mom who is a cook herself, is not good. She has a really nice private room that's very big and came with a bed, a recliner, and a night table. There isn’t anything I didn’t like about the place. The person in charge is great and very knowledgeable. I like the fact that they knock on the residents’ doors if something is happening, like special movies being shown or if they’re going to play a game. They’re taking care of all my mom’s needs. "

"My visit to West Turner Residences was very insightful. I got a lot of information from the person selling the apartment. She gave me a letter about the residents, and about the overall history of the building. The apartment itself was large and spacious. They have their own laundry room down in the basement. Everything was nice and clean, and one thing that caught my eye is that each floor had a walk-out deck where you can go out and have coffee or just sit and relax with a nice lounge chair. The deck outside of the apartment building was a nice feature where you can go out on the deck and just enjoy a really nice warm day. All the residents can be nice and pleasant. That was the best senior apartment that I've seen within the Allentown, Bethlehem area. The community was good as it was close to all these shops and restaurants, and people were saying it was good for the sports events and stuff, which I like. The marketplace was right there; on a nice day, it's a nice walking distance. It was comfortable, and there's a park that is like two or three blocks over from the building. So, everything was really close, really convenient, and nice. They're building a new apartment complex on the other end, and I know recently they built another one right across from each other. That area is very nice, especially for a lot of young people. She showed me a 1- and 2-bedroom apartment. The 2-bedroom was an exception because it had a big foyer. When you come to the entrance door, it was beautiful. The appliances were all- electric and had a nice quality carpet. It's a nice large apartment where you can spread things out; everything is not tight. It was probably the best senior apartment I've seen; it's impressive. I just think at that time, my income was slightly over what the expectations were, but I think now, it might be right where they wanted it. I can't get in touch with anybody and can't get an application. So, that's one problem. It's a nice place, especially for myself; someplace that's safe and secure, and that's what I'm looking for. It's your apartment, you do your grocery shopping and that's about it. It was exactly what I wanted in an apartment. The layout was good; it was very clean. The parking was ample right in front of the building; I'm not sure if it's the same, but there was a lot of parking."

"We visited a friend who is a resident at EverTrue Luther Crest's independent living. Her room was beautiful, and everything was brand new. She had a 1-bedroom. We ate there and the food was very nice. She took us down to lunch in the dining room, which had tablecloths, which I like. You could go up to the chef and tell him what you wanted. She has an open account where they charge her for what she uses. The size of it was very big, and they had tables set for two, four, and five. They had round tables, and square tables, and then as you come in to the right, that's where the chef was making the food. It was very nice and they were very friendly. We liked the facility. They had a pool table, a bar, and a pizza palace. They had aerobics and a swimming pool. They have beautiful grounds to walk around on. My friend, who's in her nineties, has her car up there, and she drives to the store because she makes breakfast and lunch in her room. They also had a lot of activities going on, and there were plenty of people in each activity. I saw an arts and crafts room, a game of cards for men, and a pool table. They also had a hairdresser and a barber."

"Country Meadows Retirement Communities was very nice. The person that gave me the tour of the memory care was very knowledgeable. It was the biggest facility that I viewed, but the buildings, grounds, and interiors were all top-notch. The staff was very good, too."
