Emeritus is a good place for memory care
reviewed on: 03/23/2015 by Donna WatsonEveryone at Emeritus is caring and kind to the residents as well as family and friends. I am very pleased with the care they gave my aunt. I ad the ipportunity to have lunch eith her a couple of times and the food was simple but delicious. I would recommend Emeritus to anyone needing an assisted living facility for memory care or personal care.
Friendly and Warm. It feels like your in the country.
reviewed on: 06/22/2015 by AnonymousSo far everyone is so friendly and warm. I love it there. They are awesome. They are so nice. They interact with residents. They know all their names. Anytime I need somebody, they are right there. I love everybody up there. We have only been there for a month and a half. I love how it's in Allentown but it feels like your in the country. They have a rocking chair. They do a good job at making it look nice.
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.
A Right Decision
reviewed on: 12/29/2016 by anonymousFirst, thank you to A Place for Mom for assisting with the difficult decision of placing a loved one. They made the whole process much easier. After deciding on the geographic placement in Brookdale Emeritus of Allentown, The family members visited several times. Each time the staff was patient and tolerant of many repetitive questions. The never hurried an appointment and made sure introductions to key personnel were made. The facility was clean and fresh smelling. The food served was attractive and flavorful. Staff was uniformly polite and respectful with residents and visitors. Brianna, Dylan, Cindy were all so nice and understanding of the difficult decision that was being made. They have also been very skillful at handling "other family members" who made everything difficult.
Bad Odor in Room
reviewed on: 06/20/2017 by AnonymousMy mother in law is doing okay since the move to this community. The main concern I have been that her room stinks. Other than that issue everything else is fine. The staff is well. They provide good meals, and have nice activities available for the residents. Unfortunately at this moment I would not recommend this community.
