Memory Care Communities in Allentown, PA

"Exceptional experience! The gentleman that toured with us was very knowledgeable and kind. He wanted to know my mom and not just make a sale. Everything was beautiful. The food service was very good and the server was very good. All of our meals delicious and the dessert of chocolate cream pie was fantastic. The rooms are very spacious and laid out well. Vero is also pet friendly which is a huge plus so my mom will be bringing her sidekick Skipper with her. Truly I can't say enough good things about this community!"

"The Birches of Lehigh Valley is nice and new. The nurses seemed to be doing different things and interacting with the residents. They were very helpful. I saw the menus, and they looked pretty good. The facility is very clean, inside and out. They have big rooms."

"We looked at numerous facilities before deciding upon Cornerstone for my mother's care. Many of these facilities were beautiful, but somehow cold. Cornerstone on the other hand is very homey and warm. We were able to decorate my mother's room to make it truly hers. They continue to make upgrades to the facility, but aside from the facility the staff is wonderful. They have a dedicated staff that truly cared for my mother. It is a hard decision to place a parent with dementia, but I know that I made the right one when I chose Cornerstone. "

"This letter is written in praise of the entire staff that works the Berry Ridge section at Arden Courts, Easton, Pa. My father (Vinny) possessed mid-level dementia and was placed in the care of Arden Courts after spending two years in a different local Assisted Living facility. After my Mom (Vinny’s spouse) passed and he completed a few hospital/rehabilitation center visits, he was relocated from living in a 2.5 room apt (in a memory care unit) to a much smaller private room and 1/2 bathroom at Arden Courts. The family was quite concerned about how well he would handle the transition. This letter is not intended to compare the accommodation of each facility. But emphasize no matter how elaborate the décor and accommodations are - it is the dedication and commitment of the staff that made those walls a home. The entire Berry Ridge staff welcomed and treated my Dad as family. That word “family” is used quite frequently in Assisted Living marketing materials, BUT the Arden Courts - Berry Patch facility turned a phrase into a reality. They welcomed Dad and actively supported all his needs. From medical, daily care, to the most important emotional support. He was treated with respect and dignity. They made Dad, as well as myself, feel important, safe, and cared for. To the management of Arden Courts. Thank you, for creating a caring culture that exemplifies caregiving. Your vision is realized by the high standards of compassion your entire staff consistently delivers. Sincerely, Jim B"

"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."

"The Palmerton was very organized. We had to sign in upon arrival, and we had to log our temperature. We had to wear masks and there was a questionnaire about COVID. The facilities were spotless. Everything was absolutely immaculate. They had different sized rooms. The smaller rooms seemed a little cramped. The larger rooms were decent sized, but they're immaculate. They had walk-in showers and grab rails. In terms of interactions, we were very impressed. The gentleman who took us on the tour, as we walked around, was talking with everyone. Everyone knew him, and he knew the residents by name. There were residents out and about and actively engaged in activities. There seemed to be a sense of life there, which we were happy to see. The people who worked in different departments took time out of what they were doing to talk to us. My mother-in-law needs a pureed diet and the staff spoke to us about it. She explained that it would not be a problem. She answered our questions. We spoke to the speech therapist, their activities director, and the physical therapist. They all took time out of what they were doing to talk to us, asked questions, and answered any questions we had. They're very accommodating. We were very impressed."

"I toured Hidden Meadows on the Ridge. That's a beautiful place, and that woman that I met with, is a fabulous woman. It's just, everything was great up there, but it's just too costly for me. Even their menu for their dinners and all was fabulous. I come from a cooking family, so that's something I can spot right away. You see a lot when you come in. It's beautiful. I met some people and the people are very happy. That tells you a lot when you see how happy the tenants are. I liked the cleanliness and the care. They're very thorough with every area. They offer everything, doctor's care, doctors that come in that you can use. So, I wouldn't have to take my mother out for appointments. I believe they take your mother or father out to a dentist. They have a contract with the dentist. They will do everything, anything you need. It's just that if you need extra care for your mother, it costs money. There's my demise because we don't have a lot of money."

"My husband's sister has resided in Assisted Living for 3=years. The rooms and facility is clean and well maintained. The food, according to her, is very good. The entire staff, well, I cannot say enough good things about the staff, their attentiveness, their friendliness, and the activities and socialization they provide for residents"

"I like Brookdale Dublin. It's small. The staff is extremely caring and attentive. I think I made the best choice. The place is clean, and the food is good. There's nothing bad to say about them. It's just a very homey place. My husband loves their food. He has been there for a little over a week now. With regards to activities, I've seen a couple, but I'm not there all the time, so I don't see all of them. Unfortunately, all these places are expensive, but you do what you have to do because it's your loved one. You have to pay for good care."

"This is a nice place to live. I was at another community, and they could not handle my care. Here they are able to care for me just fine. I've had no problems here."

"My mom stayed at MapleShade Meadows Senior Living on a respite. She did well there. She wasn't there that long. She had a couple of confused moments, but they took good care of her. It was good. There were always a lot of activities going on. People seemed to be happy. They were very attentive to me when I had questions. They were fully staffed, too. The food was adequate. For activities, they had chair yoga, trivia, and games."

"I’ve been helping my in-laws explore senior living options, and Keystone Villa at Douglassville IL has really stood out. Their sales person has gone above and beyond—personally stopping by my in-laws' home, answering every question (even the ones we didn’t know to ask), and providing incredibly helpful resources along the way. The community itself is impressive—well-maintained, welcoming, and full of life. The events and concerts are truly top-notch and give a great glimpse into the active lifestyle residents enjoy. It’s clear they care not just about filling apartments, but about making sure families feel supported and informed. We’ve been very impressed. This is our first choice for my in-laws when they are ready to make the move. And I appreciate that we've never felt pressured. Their team realizes it can be a long decision-making process."

"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. "

"Our mom, who will turn 96 shortly, has been residing at Traditions of Lansdale for approximately six months now. While it is no secret that placing a family member into care is never an easy decision, I am pleased to say that mom is thriving under their care ! She has her own private room, with a shared bath. She has all of her personal belongings with her, which truly makes it her home. The staff take wonderful care of her and respond quickly when ever she either needs or wants something. She enjoys the meals that are served and has made good friends with her table mates in the dining room. She especially enjoys the activities that are offered every day, from bingo to flower arrangements. The running joke in our family is that we almost have to make an appointment with mom to visit, so we don't cramp her style. All in all, we cannot recommend Traditions of Lansdale enough."
