tour review
Our family had an in person tour with Legends - was my favorite. It looks & feels like a hotel, it's spacious, with lots of windows & high ceilings. I liked that all rooms had a divider between bedroom & living room area and bathrooms offered considerable storage. Dining & activities seemed excellent. It is very large and might be too large for a person with memory issues.

Not safe for the cognitively impaired!!! Getting Mom out of there as quickly as possible. They can't keep staff. We have to go clothing shopping because Mom's clothing never comes back from the laundry. She barely has a thing to wear. She doesn't feel safe there. Traumatizing for her!

The facilities are beautiful; Very clean, nothing visibly worn, homey, attractive-decor, and amenities. The staff are all always smiling, greet everyone by name, and very helpful.

Right place to be
The food is great, and my loved one is pretty happy. My loved one speaks highly of activities, and the director. The care is really good. They have done wonderful things to getting him back to the point that he was. The physical and occupational therapy has been awesome, and has been very attentive. The only complaint is, there has been alot of staff turnover in the dining area.

For a great stay - go to Legend
My experience with Legend of Allentown was wonderful! The staff were wonderful and it was a really good experience for my mom. She had a respite stay for 6 weeks, and I would've liked to kept her there longer. The move-in / move-out process was good with no problems. They had great communication by reaching out verbally and through email & text. They really covered all bases and had all around good communication. They are contracted with a 3rd party rehabilitation service that was available on-site. The community was also secure. Some of their activities included morning exercise & yoga, bingo, a movie theater, and a baking class - amongst other things. I would absolutely recommend others to check out Legend of Allentown.

beautiful home with good care
Legend of Allentown is a beautiful home. for someone who is new to needing memory care, I still had a lot of questions after my loved one moved in. that was a bit uncomfortable, but it has gotten better. as of now, communication is only done on my request or initiation. as far as activities they do encourage her to engage, she likes some of the activities and there are some she wont participate in. I do think that they are adequately staffed for the number of residents, and their memory care unit is all on one floor. I feel secure that she is safe there. I would recommend this community to others.

I would recommend Legends of Allentown to whoever needs residences especially memory care. Every time I visit here is activities going on in assisted living and memory care. Every employee knows each resident personally. From the friendly greeting at the entrance through each RA. Breakfast, lunch, dinner are always served on time. Attention is given to the nutritional value of each meal. Residents are constantly being stimulated by the creative activity ladies. {names removed} thanks for taking care of my mother in law.

A Place for Mom has scored Legend of Allentown 8.9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score.
