Love at first sight!
reviewed on: 11/07/2016 by AnonymousThe people here are very nice and observant. My loved one really likes the food and the community. She has a nice large room that they always keep clean and neat along with the community. The place feels very homey and welcoming.
My father's comfort and care
reviewed on: 07/10/2017 by AnonymousI like this community for the care of my father. The staff is caring and they make sure that he is always doing well. We like knowing that he likes the menu and we were impressed by the meals when we dined with my father. They do have activities and he is involved with a few. We would recommend this community for the good value and good care for a loved one.
Very nice place!
reviewed on: 11/03/2014 by AnonymousOur experience with Emeritus at Allentown has been a very good one so far. They've been very helpful throughout the entire process and took a lot of stress out of the move. The facility itself is very nice looking, and just has a friendly atmosphere in general. They've been very accommodating when working with my loved one, and they put a lot of effort into getting to know her and learning how best to work with her. I would recommend them to anyone looking into senior care in the area!
My Apology and Gratitude to Above and Beyond at the Knights
reviewed on: 11/20/2018 by Christine SforzaAbout a year ago I wrote a review for Above and Beyond at the Knights (ABK) that today shames and embarrasses me to the bone. I want to replace it with this re-review until I can get A Place for Mom to delete the earlier one. When we first placed Mom in ABK, we were half-crazy with grief and confusion because of her sudden deterioration into aggressive dementia. I wrote a scathing review at a time when the family was in shock and we didn't know who that enraged, belligerent vicious woman was, because she certainly wasn't our Mom. But yes, she was. ABK was also not fully sure what they were going to be dealing with when she arrived, but they bravely and confidently took on the challenge. When various approaches to Mom's condition were tried and some proved difficult to balance at first, and we were being relentlessly hounded by several other facilities to place Mom with them, this is when I chose to put my fury and rage and fear for Mom into a terrible review of ABK . I should have counted to ten at least ten times before I wrote it. Gradually, everything changed. Under the laser-focussed and loving care she received from the owner, Naila, and her kind staff, Mom has been treated to such loving kindness and affection, such dedication to her well-being, that I will always be grateful that the team accepted her and are doing more for her than we would ever be able to do on her behalf. Mom has graduated from Memory Care to Assisted Living. The challenges of caring for our Mom are dealt with in a reasonable way, the management is made of some of the THE BEST and wisest human beings I have ever had the good fortune to encounter and to trust, and the staff are loving and buoyant despite the circumstances of caring for such a wide variety of age-related conditions and other situations that plague us as humans. I strongly suggest you not notice that ABK isn't perfect (no place on earth is, and obviously I am not either) and it doesn't look like the Taj Mahal, but the care your loved one will receive should do more for him/her and your family than you can now imagine. This place, Above and Beyond at the Knights, has a heart bigger than the building it occupies. Please give them a chance to do their best for you or your loved one. All that, and the food, prepared as you would do at home, is delicious and nutritious as well. I am now a volunteer reader at ABK and my one remaining regret is that I actually forgot that first review and should have done this re-review a LONG time ago. My humble apologies to Naila and the staff and my gratitude to you as well. God bless you.
An Amazing place and an Amazing Value..
reviewed on: 03/14/2019 by Nancy SchaadtStarting right at the top with the director Naila Hamati I am very impressed with the hands on attention that my husband receives.. It is most amazing to find a director of such an institution so highly medically qualified.From the director down through the aides and cleaning staff they try to please and treat the dementia person with caring respect and love.. I feel as do my children that we were so very fortunate to have discovered Above and Beyond at the Knights.
