Phoebe Richland is an apartment community built for seniors, offering different levels of care that include independent living, assisted living, personal care, skilled nursing, and memory care. The buildings were designed by gerontologist professionals, which means the spaces are roomy and easier for seniors to move around in, and there are several neighborhoods within the community-some for memory support, some for regular personal care, depending on what's needed. The main apartments come in different sizes, like studios, one-bedroom suites, companion suites, and spacious two-bedroom options with full kitchens, wall-to-wall carpeting, air-conditioning, in-unit washers and dryers, and backyard patios that go out to Springhouse Park's gardens and seating areas. Some apartments have granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the rooms aim to give a homelike feel with comfort in mind. There's no pet policy, which means residents can't bring animals.
Phoebe Richland has indoor common spaces where residents can socialize or join in on scheduled activities, and outdoor spaces like patios and the park for fresh air and gatherings. The staff run a busy list of activities-physical, social, and educational, both onsite and offsite-to help folks stay active and connected. Nutritious meals are provided, with chefs making both vegetarian and kosher options. Onsite, there's a beautician, housekeeping, laundry, and transportation services to help with daily needs. Spiritual support is available through devotional services.
Memory care services are a big focus, offering special programs and spaces for those with early stage dementia or Alzheimer's. The nursing wing-called The Cottage-serves people with more advanced cognitive needs, offering 143 beds for skilled or intermediate nursing care. Residents can get therapy for physical or mental health, and trained staff can help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and managing medicine. Those needing more care get tailored support, whether it's outpatient therapy, rehabilitation after an illness, or help with high acuity or complex health needs. For those living at home, Comforting Home Care by Phoebe sends aides to provide non-medical care and companionship. Respite stays are available for short-term care when caregivers need a break.
Phoebe Richland supports doctor visits virtually through the TeleHealth Program with Lehigh Valley Health Network. Rehab services include physical, occupational, and restorative therapies. Onsite, there's podiatry, dental, optometry, hospice, and beauty care. Off-street parking is available for those who drive, but there's no other parking or garage, and pets aren't allowed. Utilities in the rent are not clearly listed. The community is both Medicaid-certified and licensed by Pennsylvania's Department of Health and Department of Human Services.
Residents here get care designed to meet changing needs, from independent and active living to help with memory and medical challenges. The social events, caring staff, and award-winning programs aim to help residents feel safe, supported, and comfortable as they age.
