The Terrace at Phoebe Allentown

Jeffrey

My mom will be moving into The Terrace at Phoebe Allentown. We chose it because of the cost structure and the way they do it. The monthly fees are affordable. They have a large upfront payment, but we could manage that. They have a charitable program also, so if you run out of money they take over. The other reason for choosing Phoebe is they offer independent living all the way through nursing home. They have a continuum of care available. As you need more help, they have that there, and you don't have to go looking again. I had very clear communication with the staff, and they're very helpful with all the questions that we have.

We toured The Terrace at Phoebe Allentown. They showed us everything we needed to see, answered all of my questions, and showed us an apartment being renovated at the time. So, they gave us all the information we needed to decide. It's a full kitchen. All the appliances were there. My relative looked at a studio, so it was all in one room, but there was a walk-in closet. There was a bathroom that was handicapped accessible. It had a shower. The kitchen appliances were all along one wall. You could put a table there. So, it was perfectly fine for someone, an elderly person. They come in once a week, clean your apartment for you, and change your sheets if you want white sheets. They had a patio on the first floor where you could sit outside. They gave you your own parking space. You got a designated parking space right in front of the building. There were options to go outside and sit.

We chose The Terrace at Phoebe Allentown from recommendations, and we've been there multiple times. The staff members are great, we've had positive experiences with everybody we met there. The room is great, magnificent, brand-new, and lovely. Two of my friend's moms were there, and they had all good things to say about it. I think it is the right size, I think that the apartments are really nice, and hopefully the food is good, and the activities will be fun for her.

We are looking at The Terrace at Phoebe Allentown. It is very nice and it's very similar to all the others except for that they don't have the traditional just monthly rent. They have a large buy-in with several different increments that you can buy in at. The benefit of buy-in is they don't kick you out when you run out of money. You stay there for life once you're a member of their community. Their community goes through elder care. Their activities are just the same as all the rest of them. They have a hairdresser and a nurse on duty throughout the day. They have an exercise room, some computers with mind games, a pool table, and a nice library. They have puzzles and scrabbles, too. The staff members are all knowledgeable and the food is good.
