Above & Beyond Senior Living (West End) sits in the West End of Allentown and offers several types of care for adults aged 55 and over, including assisted living, independent living, memory care for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, in-house home care, skilled nursing, and even adult day services and hospice care, so folks with different needs can find the right fit here whether they're staying for a short time or looking for something more permanent. Residents get daily help with bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and meals, plus there's always staff around, including licensed nurse administrators, onsite doctors, and everyone's CPR-certified, and the bathrooms and rooms have pull bell systems and emergency call pendants so someone can get help quick if needed, while the building itself is fully sprinklered, holds regular fire drills, and uses the Wander Guard System to keep things safe for everyone, especially those who tend to walk off or get confused. There's wheelchair access all around, department-specific licensing and state licenses, and they follow public welfare rules, which means they keep up with safety and care standards all the time.
The environment feels homey and peaceful, with plenty of light and good air flow, and offers different rooms, from one-bedrooms to semi-private spaces, many with a patio or balcony, cable-ready TVs, Wi-Fi, and access to a sunroom, sun porch, raised gardens, and common areas with big TVs and places to gather. Meals come with the option for special diets, including low-sodium, vegetarian, and Kosher, and folks can eat together in the dining room, with 1 or 2 meals a day prepared. Housekeeping, laundry, and dry cleaning get handled every week, so those chores don't stack up, and there's also a safe parking lot for guests. The facility invites pets by policy, so long as people respect the rules, and keeps a no smoking policy inside. For those that need it, there's help with medications, scheduled occupational or physical therapy visits, on-site pharmacy access, mental health and psychiatric services, respite care, and companion care aides available.
People who live at Above & Beyond (West End) fill their days with crafts, arts, music (from a resident music group), story time, and nearly-daily community events, so nobody needs to worry about feeling lonely or bored, and there are in-house and offsite religious services for spiritual support. Folks can spend time in the gardens, sun on the patios, or join a game night-there's always a way to be part of things without too much fuss. Staff perform daily health and safety checks, and part of the grounds includes raised beds where residents can try their hand at gardening, so everyone can get some fresh air if they wish. The whole setup aims to help seniors live as independently as possible while having the right support there when needed, and offers peace of mind for families who want somewhere safe without a lot of stress or confusion about what's offered or allowed.
