Cedarbrook Nursing Homes

Cedarbrook Nursing Homes sits in the Lehigh Valley with two locations, one at 724 Delaware Avenue in Bethlehem, called Cedarbrook Fountain Hill, and another at 350 S Cedarbrook Road in Allentown, offering a range of services from skilled nursing and short-term rehab to dementia care, palliative and hospice care, and memory support for seniors who need extra help, and the whole place is owned and operated by Lehigh County, which means they keep an eye on fair housing and provide services open to all eligible people, no matter their background or needs, so folks can find a place whether they need long-term support or just a short stay. The facility includes the Brookview Independent Living Community for active seniors, often age 55 or 62 and above, who can manage well on their own but like the comfort of easy access to meals, housekeeping, laundry, activities, and a little extra company through lounges, common rooms, and community dining, so residents can either fix their own food in a studio kitchenette or grab prepared meals in the dining rooms. The memory care service helps those with Alzheimer's or dementia, using programs matched to each person's stage of need, and there's general medical help, therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech, and a team whose titles include Executive Secretary, Director of Social Services, and Director of Life Enrichment, all working together along with dedicated staff shown as "The Faces of Cedarbrook." Cedarbrook's two sites have apartments with safety in mind, including handicap-accessible bathrooms, emergency call systems that connect right to the nursing home switchboard, and security like a separate entrance for Brookview folks and a parking lot just for residents, plus community spaces, lounges, living rooms, and public restrooms on every floor. The Bethlehem location has 97 semi-private rooms and three private ones at Cedarbrook Fountain Hill, supporting people with 24-hour nursing and personal care and spaces for relaxing or joining in activities. Services range from independent and assisted living to respite and rehabilitation stays, as well as partnerships for community development and land preservation, and there's help through programs for fair housing, emergency management, and even recreation, with Medicaid and Medicare options to help cover costs for those who qualify. Cedarbrook prides itself on tailored care and ethical practices, using a team approach across nursing, therapy, social work, and life enrichment to make sure everyone gets the right support. Residents can schedule a tour to see the buildings, meet the workers and tenants, and get a good look at the available studio or one- and two-bedroom rooms, and folks who are curious about pricing or features can find lots more on the website. Cedarbrook won't claim to be perfect, but it does have a long history as part of the county's caring tradition, with plenty of information and resources set aside for helping people navigate options at any stage of aging.
