    Satisfied with care and communication

    I placed my mom here and I'm very satisfied - the staff are caring, professional and responsive, the facility and rooms are clean, food and activities are good, and rehab/therapy and family communication have been excellent; convenient location across from the hospital. I recommend it overall with only minor reservations.

    Summary of reviews

    Overall impression: Reviews describe a facility that delivers strong short-term rehabilitation outcomes and frequent praise for many individual caregivers, while also showing persistent operational challenges that affect consistency of long-term care. Families commonly highlight caring, communicative staff members and an effective therapy program, but other comments point to variability in day-to-day staffing, professionalism, and safety practices.

    Care and staff: Many families and residents described attentive, compassionate nurses and aides who provide reassuring family communication and individualized attention. Several accounts emphasize effective rehab/physical/occupational therapy and positive short-stay experiences tied to recovery goals. At the same time, reviewers noted recurring operational problems: understaffing, frequent turnover, uneven teamwork, and gaps in frontline supervision. These staffing and leadership issues appear to contribute to slower response times for assistance calls and inconsistent delivery of routine care. A small number of families raised concerns about resident safety (falls, bruising) and encouraged closer family involvement and care-conference follow-up; these comments suggest variability in injury-prevention and transfer-safety practices rather than a uniform pattern of safe care.

    Dining and activities: Dining quality was described positively in multiple accounts, with references to generally good food. The activity program is a notable strength — bingo, live performances, exercise classes and other social offerings were cited as well-attended and beneficial to residents’ engagement. On-site salon services and availability of psychological support were also noted as convenient, resident-focused amenities.

    Facilities and accessibility: Cleanliness of rooms and public spaces is frequently praised, though a few comments signal variability in sanitation and maintenance. The building is described as dated, with plans for remodeling noted; this aligns with observations about older infrastructure. Specific accessibility and maintenance issues (for example, malfunctioning handicap doors and other repairs) were mentioned and suggest areas needing attention during any renovation or upkeep planning.

    Management and notable patterns: A prominent theme is polarization: many reviewers strongly recommend the facility based on positive interactions with individual staff and successful rehab stays, while others express frustration tied to systemic staffing shortages, inconsistent professionalism, and leadership/oversight gaps. Management strengths include a generally smooth admissions process, Medicare coverage for appropriate stays, and clear family communication in many cases. Management weaknesses appear to be maintaining adequate staffing, reducing turnover, and strengthening supervision to ensure consistent care quality. Prospective residents and families should weigh the facility’s demonstrated rehabilitation strengths and helpful amenities against its variability in long-term staffing consistency and infrastructure condition, and consider asking specific questions about staffing levels, fall-prevention protocols, recent turnover, and planned remodeling timelines during their tour.

    About Cedarbrook Fountain Hill

    Cedarbrook Fountain Hill, owned and run by the County of Lehigh, sits on the eastern side near Bethlehem and has two locations-one in Allentown, one in Fountain Hill-with a building that has a three-story wing for independent living apartments, where seniors find studio and efficiency units with kitchenettes, refrigerators, two-burner stoves, microwaves, a sitting area, and handicap accessible showers, with private and semi-private rooms and a call system in each apartment that links straight to the nursing home switchboard for emergencies, so seniors can have privacy while knowing help's close by. There are community dining rooms, lounges, activity rooms, and storage spaces on every floor, and secure entrances and designated parking lots keep things safe and easy for residents. The community offers different levels of care, like independent living for active seniors, assisted living, a skilled nursing facility, and dedicated memory care programs for seniors with Alzheimer's or dementia; these memory care services cost quite a bit more since specialized care can run up to three times higher than standard senior healthcare costs. Cedarbrook Fountain Hill has services for short-term respite care, palliative and hospice support, and long-term living, welcoming families who need flexible arrangements or caregiver relief.

    Cedarbrook's focus on geriatrics includes nursing, rehabilitation, and help with daily activities, so residents get help with medication, personal care, meal programs (where one or two prepared meals are served daily), and support for emotional and social needs. Laundry and housekeeping make things a little simpler for everyone. Some amenities come standard, while others may cost extra or might be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance-things like meals, social activities, laundry, housekeeping, and access to barber/beauty shops, pharmacy, clinics, and therapy programs, all run by Cedarbrook Nursing Home. Rehabilitation and wellness programs offer care like wound treatment and therapies for speech, movement, and daily living, even a nuclear medicine division for more complicated health issues. People can meet staff and residents in person by scheduling a tour.

    Life Enrichment programs add social and recreational activities, and Cedarbrook offers vocational training, case management, and counseling for health, career, or family support, plus a library, computer lab with internet, a cafeteria, and massage and meeting rooms. Memory care residents take part in memory-enhancing routines, have secure areas, and get 24-hour support from trained staff. Independent seniors can enjoy a stress-free lifestyle with maintenance-free options and privacy, plus regular access to social groups and activities designed for active folks aged 55 and up. The community has continuing care and disability support so seniors can stay as their needs change, and Brookview Independent Living offers another choice for independent residents looking for the same quality and features. While Cedarbrook Fountain Hill can't provide 24-hour personal care in all situations, it does cover daily support and has a plan to grow with residents' needs.

    No, Cedarbrook Fountain Hill does not offer respite care. Respite care in assisted living communities provides temporary, short-term relief for primary caregivers by offering professional care for their loved ones. It allows individuals to stay in an assisted living community for a limited time, giving caregivers a break while ensuring residents receive necessary support and assistance with daily activities.
