Community Reviews
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.
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!
Not what I thought!
reviewed on: 01/11/2017 by AnonymousI really liked this community and wanted to send my husband here. Teresa was wonderful and did everything she could for us. The problems was that I had got through everything and then they tell me that I may have to move my husband after he got in. I did not want that so I just decided not to take him here.
Above and Beyond is exactly that!
reviewed on: 02/07/2019 by Nancy SchaadtI cam most impressed with the quality of care and compassion that all the employees demonstrate. The director who is a medical doctor herself is truly hands on .. She is absolutely a remarkable and compassionate administrator. I consider myself blest to have found this place! Nancy schaadt
Good experience, I recommend Emeritus.
reviewed on: 02/17/2016 by AnonymousI am very happy with Emeritus at Allentown and I would recommend this community to others as well. My father is adjusting well and doing good here. It is a very nice community and has been a good experience. There are plenty of activities that they offer for the residents to participate in. The food is very good, my father does brag about and I have tried it myself. I am very satisfied with Emeritus.
