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.

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.

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.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living.
