Jewel Health and Rehab sits at 535 North 17th Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where it works as a skilled nursing facility and also as a healthcare and rehabilitation center, and folks find both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care here, especially for those who are very frail and need a lot of help each day. The facility's got private suites and rooms you can share, all with private bathrooms, and every room has air-conditioning, a telephone, internet, cable, and WiFi, so residents can stay cool and connected without any trouble. There's help with meal preparation, daily meals served, and the place takes on housekeeping and linens for the folks living there, making sure things stay clean and comfortable, and you'll find 24-hour supervision with staff always close by.
Nurses, certified nursing assistants, physical therapists, and licensed medical professionals all work here, providing medication management, assistance with daily activities, coordination with doctors, and transporting residents to appointments or arranging transportation when needed, and if you need personal care or skilled nursing around the clock, they've got that too. There's a 24-hour call system for emergencies, help with mobility, and regular engagement programs for residents who might need special care, including a memory care unit for those living with dementia or Alzheimer's-plus protected areas so folks don't wander off. The staff pays close attention to personalized care plans, and they really keep to a team approach, even though the nurse turnover rate sits at 42.5%, with nurse staffing around 3.45 hours per resident per day, and on average 134 residents stay here with a total of 146 certified beds.
Rehabilitation services at Jewel Health and Rehab focus on helping people regain independence and work towards recovery, and the facility says it values empathy, respect, and excellence in its approach, which is part of what they call a holistic and transformative way of caring for people. There are therapeutic activities, personalized plans, and an emphasis on dignity and comfort in both daily life and medical care, and while folks who manage the place-Diamond Healthcare At West Allen Mgmt LLC and Avon Pa LLC-took over in September 2023, the indirect owners include Chaim Brecher, Yosef Frankel, and Benjamin Kurland, with direct ownership under Diamond Healthcare At West Allen Holdco LLC. Now, while the facility aims to offer luxury and comprehensive health support, state inspections have found some issues-like trouble offering trauma-informed and culturally sensitive services, as well as problems meeting some food preferences-so it's good to know both the positives and things they need to work on. All in all, the place tries to create a safe and supportive environment with both short and long-term skilled nursing, specialized memory care programs, and a range of amenities meant to help residents feel comfortable, cared for, and part of a community.
