A respectful, warm and friendly home environment

The Legend of Allentown provided a warm and inviting family environment. The facility was excellently maintained and very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We worked with the Sales Director who was amazing- she helped our brother find a wonderful apartment and did everything possible to help us prepare for his arrival. She met with our brother in his rehab facility and spent much time helping him understand the facility and the maintenance staff member was great in helping his apartment be ready for his arrival. As we worked very closely with the Sales Director and ensured all was ready for his arrival, his admission was canceled due to multiple medical emergencies and he eventually passed away before ever going to Legend of Allentown. Our sadness over losing our brother was supported by the staff at Legend who was so kind and caring over our sadness and loss. In summary, we would recommend Legends of Allentown as an excellent facility and a loving destination.

Legend of Allentown review

All fives except for activities. Days when there is no activities for the memory care residents. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families. They are undergoing new management positions which should improve some minor concerns.

Very disappointing experience

My dad and I enrolled my mom into Legend in May of 2024. Before she moved in, we asked lots of questions to be sure it would be a good fit for all parties. We were given assurances that my mom would have a 1:1 staff for the first week to help acclimate to the new setting and have plenty of activities to keep her busy. But it never happened. In fact, we were never contacted after the first week to see how things were going. Just be aware that even though the facility is modern and clean, the activities are limited due to lack of staffing. We even had one occasion where dinner wasn't served until my dad had to notify the front desk that the residents were still waiting in the dining room. Very often we'd visit and see residents wandering aimlessly with no staff around. Due to staffing concerns we moved my mom back home after a week. We simply didn't feel that she'd be safe at Legend. I'd write more, but the review must be under 1000 characters. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

Review for Legend of Allentown

We had a tough start. Very understaffed but I think that is the norm. Most disappointed in the food. For the premium price paid for a nice place, I would expect food to be better.

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!

My mother is a new resident. I really appreciated how quickly and professionally I was able to tour, and get my mother's apartment arranged. 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.

Legend of Allentown is a beautiful facility and I really wanted my mother to go here. The staff were all extremely kind and helpful. Unfortunately they would not take her because they do not have hoigher lifts or 2 person assists.

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.
