Community Reviews
Highly Recommend
reviewed on: 02/05/2016 by AnonymousMy brother toured Emeritus and another community and chose to go with Emeritus and I am very happy he did. Things are going really well. I have been there 8 times and the staff is always very friendly and go out of their way to help with anything. I have referred several others to look into this community for their loved ones as well. The laundry service is great. The physical therapy department isn't as good as it could be, but we understand the limited space for equipment. The food is good, sometimes great. For those who live there, there is always entertainment that the residents are able to participate in. There is also a school close by so some kids come and visit with the residents which they all love. They do also provide nice church type services for those who want that.
Unfavorable For Us
reviewed on: 01/12/2017 by AnonymousAs I had a visit with the community the price and atmosphere was unfavorable for us. I wanted a homey atmosphere with supervision. Being that it would be too much to do weekly visit was another dilemma. However, the staff who gave the tour was very uplifting and giving us the most time to get a good tour.
Currently a great community
reviewed on: 06/08/2017 by AnonymousThe staff at this community are good. Mom likes the food and some of the daily activities they offer. They do keep the community and her apartment clean. The community is close to family and friends. This community was just bought by another company so I am waiting to see if there are any changes before I recommend it.
I really have no complaints
reviewed on: 08/31/2015 by AnonymousI really have no complaints about Emeritus at Allentown. All the staff at the facility were really nice. It was a good experience and good value. Overall I was really pleased with everything there.
They have such a good program, I am very disappointed with how things ended up.
reviewed on: 11/14/2014 by AnonymousThey weren't able to handle our care needs. There was a difficult situation that wasn't handled well. They didn't even contact me with a phone call when the incident happened, I had to call them. They didn't take precautions after the situation and have my loved one looked at by a hospital. When they let me know that we would need to find another place, they did not sit me down and explain the situation. They didn't give me any assistance to find another place, and they wouldn't give me a time frame other than as soon as possible. It was hard because he was starting to do a little better. Margaret the memory care director was very sweet, she was great and would call me everyday to let me know how things were going. I think there were a few people that didn't care for the way it was handled. Emeritus is now stalling me on the refund. That makes me very unhappy, but oddly enough, I still like Emeritus. They have a beautiful separate dining room that looks out to the outside, with a mural on one wall. They have a great room with different stations, to stimulate things they might have done in their past, a tool station and a travel station, and a place to "hang laundry". They really think of the people here. It was an ideal set up, and I am really disappointed they didn't make more of an effort to make it work. Change is really not good with people with Alzheimer's. They have such a good program everyone knew everyone's name. I am very disappointed with how things ended up.
