I had my aunt in Saucon Valley Manor for three months until she passed, and they did a very good job of taking care of her. She was total care, she was bedridden and had five strokes. They took excellent care of her. Her room was fine, but she was bedridden so it was not really of much value to her except that she was in the bed. The staff was good. It was very clean, and they were very helpful. The food was good except they would only allow her to have pureed food. It was small and for that reason everyone knew everyone. I would highly recommend them.

My mother is in Saucon Valley Manor. I pay $3,000. They don't take any Medicaid or Medicare. The place is very clean. My mother says the food is very good. The administrative staff, I'll give them a -10. They suck; they never return your calls. However, the price is right. The place is very nice and clean. It's a big place.
Since my mother has been there, I've never been allowed inside. They have activities, but since COVID-19 they're very, very limited. They have just started going back to the dining room, too. They were eating in their rooms for about a month.
It's only $3,000 and you get three months free; you don't get them in a row, like you'll get this November, next November, and then the third November. They spread them out over the years. They do your laundry, and they clean your room. They have assisted living, independent living, and dementia care. The independent living is only $2,000 and it includes meals, someone checks on you twice a day, and they clean your apartment.

We're very satisfied with Saucon Valley Manor, we didn't have any problems. The floors were clean, the building was clean and the patients were they were supposed to be. Their facilities were fine and it's a large community. We saw the different rooms in the assisted living and there was nothing that I saw which made me think that I didn't like it. We went there to visit on a Saturday so I didn't see any staff. The dining room was clean but nobody was eating at that time which was around 2:00.

My father moved into Saucon Valley Manor, but he passed. It was a very nice place, good employees, very nice people, and they were almost like family when I got there. I was satisfied with the care he got.

For the money they charge there should be better care given. The food is awful, and they are completely understaffed. Sometimes my friend rings the bell and waits half hour before somebody shows up. I would not recommend this place, sorry, you need better care givers.

Saucon Valley Manor was very good, nice, clean, and big. The staff was fairly nice. It was just a little bit too much of a distance to travel to visit my mother.

Saucon Valley Manor is very comfortable, and my mother-in-law is overjoyed to be in a place where her basic needs are met. Her room is adequate with a bathroom, and she shares it with another lady. I think the food is good and adequate, and she likes it a lot. I would say that for the price, it is very above average, and it has a good vibe about it. In general, we’re happy.

I know someone at Saucon Valley. The place is beautiful, and the rooms are beautiful, but the staff is not good. The nurse doesn’t come often, and the med techs are not good. There are a lot of older people in their 80s or 90s there. There is no special diet, but the food is good. Most of the apartments are very large and spacious, and they have shared rooms with a separate door to the bedroom. They should hire more competent med techs and more accessible nurses. They also need coordination when someone wants a private doctor.

We went to Saucon Valley Manor. It was very simple without any glitz or glamour. The units were different sizes, so you had really small one-bedroom units or an OK-sized one-bedroom, but there weren't any two-bedrooms units that we could see. They were all on the 2nd level, and you had to be approved for them, so we couldn’t even get to see them. They had a lot of restrictions. The staff was very accommodating.

I visited Saucon Valley Manor for myself and didn’t like it. The rooms weren't very nice and cheerful. I was not impressed at all. There was one person that helped me into the restroom, who was very polite and helpful. The manager was very nice. The rooms were depressing.

My relative likes being in Saucon Valley Manor's assisted living program. They take care of her and are very friendly. She has a nice room with a microwave and a little kitchenette, and she can take her own food in. She enjoys it. The dining area is nicely set up. The facility is clean and spacious.

My father stayed at Saucon Valley Manor. Affordability and the levels of care available were the reasons why we picked them. He was in the restricted access unit and had excellent care. The place was clean. He had such a good appetite, so the food had to be OK. He has dementia, so he cannot comment about how good the food was, but he ate every day. They had some activities. I appreciated that on Sundays they had church activities, and we could participate. I really liked that the caregivers seemed to care about the people, and it was not just a job to them.

We chose Saucon Valley Manor for my dad, and he has been there for a month already. Their staff is very accommodating. If you have any problems, you can talk to them. They take care of it rather quickly. Everybody is pleasant, and everybody knows his name. So far we haven’t had any problems.

The staff was very nice at Saucon Valley Manor. They answered the questions that I had. Parking was very convenient for any visitor. My mom’s room was quiet. They had bingo, and they had a craft room.

Saucon Valley Manor is extremely nice. It is very clean. Everybody seems very happy. I really like the place. The staff is wonderful. They check on my dad every two hours, which is a good thing. They get him out of bed and make sure he eats three meals a day. He is in a private room, and it is extremely clean, spacious, and nice. I am very happy with it.

I chose Saucon Valley Manor as the people were very interested. The price was good. So far I’m very happy with what they’ve done for my mother.
She gets help to get to the bathroom, to be put in bed, and they take her to the dining room. They administer medicine, and I am satisfied with the services.

One thing that is nice about Saucon Manor is a doctor's office is attached right next to the building. You could use their door or walk right through. In other words, you don't need to go outside. They also have therapy and exercise rooms right there. That was kind of nice, too. However, it is an old schoolhouse that they converted into a home. It didn't seem homey; it seemed business-like. And it was too overwhelming. I thought it was a little too large for my mother.

This was the worst experience! My mom was so unhappy that i could not keep here there, it’s scary how this place is even still open. Anyway, the point is my mom needs help at night and this place cannot provide this sort of help, although they would market their great service. I highly recommend you find another place for your loved ones

Worst place ever! I had to move my mom after less than a week!!! The staff was rude, the care mediocre, and it took her for ever to get any assistance when she really needed it. To make this even worse the owners are sleazy and not well respected in the community.

My mother stayed at Saucon Valley Manor for about 3 to 4 years. I liked the rooms because it was all unique and designed differently. There were both mobile and immobile residents in the facility. I thought the level of care given for the immobilized residents were not enough. There were plenty nurses on the day shift and they were good. I had problems with the second and third shifts. There was just not enough staff to attend to the needs. I have also tried the food. It was okay. I thought the portions were small but it was enough for the elderly.

When she originally began staying there, the care providers were rather pleasant and nurturing, as the months rolled by, the staff began to change, and it was obvious, that the employees the residents would now come to know, were younger, less caring, and unable to relate with the residents. From my experience, I've taken notice to a rather lethargic disposition among even the resident she shares her living space with, Christine. I would never refer this care facility to anyone, as even the sister facility (Whitehall Manor) is revered as a better location.

The assisted living facility was very nice. While the building looked a little old, the rooms were roomy and clean. The staff was very friendly and kind. If you had a question or needed assistance, they had no problem helping you. The cleaning staff and dining room staff were also very friendly. The rooms were spacious and set up in a way so that the residents can easily move around and get to each room. There were a lot of safety features as well. I also liked how there was a precise fire escape plan. Another aspect I enjoyed were the activities. There were different rooms for different activities to entertain the residents. I liked where the facility was located. It was in a safe neighborhood next to a bank and a police station. There was also various food joints and restaurants around in case a resident did not like cooking. It was in walking distance to churches, parks, a pool, and a laundry mat.

I had a uncle living in the saucon valley manor I visited him often they took good care of him the staff were friendly and helpful,The housekeepers were also nice and were his friends one by the name of valerie was his favorite housekeeper she would bring him fruit snacks and he will be so happy she will help him get on his wheel chair when needed,My uncle's barber in the facility was good at her job,the activities in the facility were bingo,sing alongs,sewing,and more.My uncle did not like the food much but he will eat it anyways cause he new it was good for his health,The hallways in the facility were always clean but I believe the rooms could have been cleaned more often and would have air freshener thought the building,The parking was too far from the building and was not nicely landscaped,So I would give this facility a 3.

I found Saucon Valley Manor for my sister. She likes it, but there's nothing majorly wrong, it's very adequate, and I feel like I've looked at a lot of places. It is the best thing for the money. They provide everything, they take her to the doctors' office, and they don't charge me for that. There have been no extras here and there, and I really feel like it's a really good value for what I'm paying. She has just a nice, large room, with a private bathroom. There have been no trips, but they have parties, picnics, and at least once a month there's something fun and special. It had been a high school, but it's nothing fancy, it's not first class, but it's clean, and it's in good shape. It's in a pretty area, it's right on the main street, but behind it is woods, and in between the buildings they have a big tent set up with picnic tables so they can sit out there, and they have their picnics and activities.

I visited Saucon Valley Manor. The apartments were brand new, so people were just starting to move in. It was a really nice place. Their dining room was very social since people were there visiting. They had soda, coffee, and donuts out all day long for people. The apartments were gorgeous; I was really impressed with that. They had a one-bedroom. They served two meals a day for $3,000, but the apartments had full kitchens. I was not ready for a place where I have to eat in the dining hall, and I want to do my own cooking. I wouldnt rate them a 5 because of the location since theyre in a downtown area, I wasnt thrilled with a city right around the parking lot, and there was no place to go out for a walk. The staff member answered all my questions. She was very nice, did not pressure, and told me whats going on.

Saucon Valley Manor is definitely affordable. The fit and finish is not near as nice as the other places, but that's how they kept the cost down and so it is appropriate. They are what they advertised. They're not trying to say that they're anything better than they are.
The assisted and independent living units are small; it is only a four-unit building. It doesn't look expansive. On a population basis, it is adequate, but it appears small when you go to visit compare to other places.
They have exercises, board games, trips to the casino, and transportation. The staff members are all very nice and very receptive. Saucon Valley Manor were the only ones that offered to knock down the price a little bit; they said that they could work with us. They offer three meals a day as well.
Memory Care Reviews for Saucon Valley Manor

I visited this facility
Saucon Valley Manor was very clean, very bright, and very cheerful. The rooms were large with big windows around so they looked very bright and nice inside. I was looking at a double room, so it had these two beds, big, tall dressers that the residents can use, and a large closet. Some of the units actually have a kitchenette style with cabinets and sinks. The staff in Saucon Valley Manor was very good as well. They answered all the questions I had to the best of their knowledge and explained everything. They have a special activity room where they take people to do bingo, cards, and music. They do exercises too and you can get your hair done in the place.

I moved my mother to Saucon Valley Manor and she has been good where she's at. Her room is very nice. She's in a shared room, they each have a dresser, they share a table, and they have an armoire, and a pretty big bathroom. So it's a very comfortable room. They have a lot of activities, but my mom's dementia is a little more progressed so their entertainment is movies, music, and people that come in to sing to them. They also do crafts, they paint their fingernails and things like that. The staff who works there is very friendly, and to me they're awesome. They have been very nice to my mother and my family. My mom has also eaten stuff that she hasn't eaten before there, and the food also looks good. For the amount of money, compared to another place we saw, the quality is awesome.

Saucon Valley Manor is a place that they retrofitted into a memory care/assisted living care facility and it was absolutely awful. I wouldn't put my worst enemy in there. The building was rundown looking and the staff was uninterested, bored, and looking to get out of work. As soon as I walked in we knew we weren't going there. It just turned me off. They had some activities, but I didn't really like the look of the place.
