Memory Care Communities in Easton, PA

"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."

"My Father-in-Law was deteriorating from ALZ. We needed a safe place for him to live with dignity. He used to be afraid all them time. At Arden Courts he was always cared for. He looked presentable, he was never afraid. He was a very proud man, even with dementia. The staff were amazing and supported him all the way until the end. When Hospice was there, so many staff came to say their goodbyes to him. He was cared for until the end. "

"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."

"I loved Legend of Allentown, but they could not give me the level of care that my dad needed. The facilities were beautiful. It's a new building. It's beautifully done, very homely looking, very inviting, and very clean. They have a lot of pretty areas for the resident to hang out and to have space, out of their rooms. They encourage their residents to spend time out of their rooms, so they don't get isolated. The people seemed very nice, and they seemed to have a lot of good activities. While I was on the tour, they had a group there doing a Christmas concert, so that was kind of nice. I had a very good impression of them. The staff was very kind and very informative. Everyone we met along the way, if you were passing by someone in the hall, was friendly and welcoming."

"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 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."

"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."

"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."

"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. "

"The memory care unit is an amazing place! Top notch. As an anesthesia provider CRNA, I am extremely detail oriented and medically aware and so I observed and evaluated all aspects of care before placing my Mom. First and foremost- the environment they have created comes from a place of respect from the staff towards every resident and their needs. Without exception, I observed the staff interacting in a loving and caring way. They were friendly, upbeat, smiling and hard working. Meals are served on cloth tablecloths with cloth napkins and my Mom loved ordering from a menu with many choices. They guided her through the menu and she felt like she was at a fancy restaurant every day. The food was delicious and healthy and her physical status quickly improved. She always wanted me to leave a big tip! The staff are exceptional and well trained in Alzheimer’s care. There is such a cheerful and positive atmosphere. It functions with a sense of calm and serenity that put my Mom at ease. The staff quickly learned the little nuances about my Mom and the stage of her disease. She was so happy there! They respected her and she in return respected them. They shared tidbits of themselves so she felt like they were part of her extended family and she even remembered their names. My Mom’s room was spacious, clean and inviting. We decorated it with many personal items so it felt like home to her. The meal times and activities kept her engaged and busy throughout the day. She felt loved and safe so it wasn’t difficult to leave after a visit. She felt safe and secure in her new home. We are so grateful for the exceptional care the staff gave my Mom and my entire family. We all knew she was living in an amazing place and was well loved in her final days. "

"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."

"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."

"My mother moved to The Solana Doylestown and we're pretty happy with it. It's not hospital-like, it's more apartment living but with memory care. Her room has two separate areas, the living room, and the bedroom, then there's a little kitchen area and a separate bathroom. It's small but it's got different areas like an apartment. I feel like they can still up their game with their food selection for memory care. They've got activities like exercise classes, arts and crafts, and a happy hour."
