Miller Personal Care at 19th and Chew

Miller Personal Care at 19th and Chew sits on the Phoebe Allentown campus in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and helps older adults with a wide range of care needs, including assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Staff are awake and available 24 hours every day, and a licensed nurse is on-site to help with things like bathing, dressing, taking medications, and moving from bed to a wheelchair, which is important for many residents. Miller Personal Care also helps people with diabetes by monitoring insulin and medication. Meals come from a chef and special diets are available, and guests can come during meal times, which is nice for families. There's a spacious indoor area with comfortable seats for relaxing, and outdoor patios and gardens that are well-kept, plus walking paths and garden spaces for fresh air, and a dining room that looks over the city. Residents can join activities like music groups, arts and crafts, and weekly events in the common rooms or outside on trips, and there are game nights too. The building offers studio apartments and semi-private rooms, each with a private bathroom, and six companion suites for those who want to live together, and room layouts sometimes include kitchenettes. There are 49 furnished rooms and the community can care for up to 60 people, with private and shared options, and a few pets are allowed. Both in-house and home care services are available and the Comforting Home Care by Phoebe program helps people who want to live more independently, plus there's an in-house hair salon, housekeeping, laundry, parking for both residents and guests, and transportation to scheduled events or medical appointments. So people with short-term care needs can use the respite care program, giving families a break or temporary help. There are on-site physicians, dedicated gyms for rehab, access to behavioral health services, a health library with information and symptom checkers, and a telehealth program for virtual doctor visits with Lehigh Valley Health Network. The place is licensed by the state and the nursing home section has a 4-star rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Miller Personal Care uses an all-inclusive price structure, though prices aren't published, and you can pay by check. Community details, availability, and planning support come with help from SeniorAdvisor.com. Some reviews on that site are first-hand, and the community rates 7.5 out of 10, sitting as the 16th highest-rated in Allentown. The facility supports both English speakers and people who need extra help with memory care, and the activities, meal plans, help with medication, secure building, and focus on personalized care make it a careful but down-to-earth place for older adults wanting support, whether for daily living, memory help, or a safe, social place to be.
