Westminster Village at Allentown is a nonprofit senior living community in Allentown, PA, and is part of the Presbyterian Homes network, someone might say it's a Continuing Care Retirement Community-CCRC for short-that's approved by the Continuing Care Accreditation Commission. The place offers many housing choices for older adults, including independent living, assisted living, continuing care, and even skilled nursing and Alzheimer's care. Apartments range from 576 to 941 square feet, and they let people pick custom features to fit what they need, with options that allow spouses to live together in their own apartments, so folks don't get moved around if care needs change, and people can get personal care and assisted living services delivered right in their independent living apartments, which keeps things private and a bit more like home instead of going to another unit.
The campus has 67 apartments and 111 skilled nursing and rehabilitation accommodations, with a range of services like daily housekeeping, chef-prepared meals, and 24/7 staff who know what they're doing, and a review rating of 2.6 out of 9 reviews, which is worth noticing. Residents can use the Urgent SNF™ service for round-the-clock skilled nursing care and the on-site medical equipment covers most medical needs, so someone won't have to go far if something's wrong. They also offer hospice, end-of-life comfort care, and palliative services focused on making things as comfortable and supportive as possible for people with terminal illness, plus a full rehabilitation program aiming for folks to get back as much independence as possible, with physical, occupational, and speech therapies available.
Westminster Village runs three levels of adult day services, with special programs for people with Alzheimer's and other memory issues, and there are resources for long-term care planning and family caregiving too, if families need help figuring out what's next. You'll also get memory care, home healthcare, respite care, and personal caregiving services. The activities are plentiful, with arts and crafts, Wii games, a birthday club, social hours, religious activities, special events, trips, clubs, and travel, so people can stay busy if they want, and they try to honor different interests. There are living spaces and amenities like a bright dining room, exercise and TV rooms, library, beautiful lawn and garden areas, and open common spaces, and pets are allowed, which helps some folks feel more at home.
Meals come with special dietary menus, and every room includes an emergency call response. It's all supervised by licensed nursing staff, so health and safety is a focus. Westminster Village tries to give folks the care they need at the right time and place, and many of the staff are specially trained for this kind of care. People who want to enjoy city living with Pennsylvania's tax-friendly retirement rules might find the mix just right. The community puts emphasis on comfort, warmth, and privacy, letting folks keep as much independence as they can while still getting help when they need it, and if anyone wants to learn about options or long-term planning, the staff there offer advice and guidance.
