Review for The Palmerton

I have been very happy. [name removed]is doing better. He is not sold on the idea he wants to stay there ( cost)....but he is also in denial he cannot live alone. Yet despite that he has been participating in all activities and looks forward to them. He likes the food and the staff.

Our families experience

They are very responsive and accommodating so for that, I would rank them a five. However, the reason for the overall four rating is, I feel they're a little slow on providing updated medication that is required for top-tier patients. My dad was at the very high end of care and it took over 24 hours sometimes to get his updated medication corrected. I had to stay on top of it. Otherwise it would've been incorrect.

The staff are inexperienced, lack common sense and put residents in harms way with both of these failings.

Review for The Palmerton

I just wish the management had better open communication with families. Overall, it was an ok place except that there is little to no communication with the staff, no one returns phone calls, and no one let's you know what's happening with your loved one. They need patient advocates to speak to family members. My loved one passed, and had we not gotten a private call from one staff member, we would not even have had the opportunity to see her before she passed. The facility never called.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!

The Palmerton was horrible. They were understaffed and I took my mom out of there after three weeks and 4 days. The last fall she had they didn't even tell me about it. Her whole left side from hip to toes was purple. Her foot was swollen like an elephants trunk. When I asked what happened and why no one saw her bruising/swelling, the whole staff all the way up to the director and head nurse said they didn't know. HORRIBLE. I would tell others - Absolutely do not send their loved one there. The memory care is awful. They don't do anything with them as far as activities. They say they do but I visited often. All they did was have a so-called activities person bring down coloring sheets and markers. VERY SAD. They are a do not assist feeding facility.

Review for The Palmerton

The Palmerton community is very nice and welcoming for seniors that can get around well. However for higher level of care such as level E that my father had, I would not recommend it there. This is due to lack of responsiveness and follow thru of nursing staff.

Review for The Palmerton

The Palmerton is better than most homes but overpriced for the level of personal service/individual attention.

A gem of a facility in the middle of nowhere

We feel very safe and comfortable that our parents our here. Cost much lower for the same services. We also had a family member here 10 years ago. We were confident about their services then and feel even more positively now.

Mom is thriving at Palmerton

The staff at The Palmerton really helped Mom adjust quickly. She is thriving and doing quite well. Based off our our experience, I would recommend The Palmerton to other families looking for their loved ones.

a good place for loved ones

We had a few deciding factors when it came down to choosing The Palmerton and right off that bat the neatness and cleanliness of the community stood out to us. The staff from the day to day workers to middle management are all friendly. The location was also a big part with it being in our loved ones hometown. Based on the experience we have had with The Palmerton we would recommend it to other families.

a beautiful community with friendly staff

We are happy our loved one is here, we feel that she is getting really good care. The meals from what we have seen seem to be very good and they are trying their best with the activities while still keep their residents safe.

a wonderful place for mom

The whole staff overall was great. They were friendly to both my loved ones and us. Communication between the staff and our family was good but during covid there were some struggles. I would recommend this community to others

I would recommend

My husbands sister chose The Palmerton because of the location. The room sizes here are very good, she is in a single and it is very large. We ate here last year for Thanksgiving and the food was great. They make everything from scratch and it is very fresh meals. I would want others to know that they have been extremely helpful, she turned 100 this August and they organized a party for her inside the facility among the residents since we could not go in, and they also let us do a drive by party. The staff members have gone above and beyond in a lot of ways. I would recommend.

I really like it here. Think this is a good fit for my Dad. Clean, staff was seen and polite. Like that dad will start in primary care then if need be, go into memory care which is right on the premise. Thank you [name removed].
