The Palmerton — Local services in Palmerton

My mother is a resident here at “The Palmerton.” Mother was only there maybe not even a week, and the staff was hugging her, and telling me how sweet mother was. The hardly knew mom, but you would of thought they knew her for years! I really fought with my emotions on having to place mom in a assisted living facility, but after being there and getting to know staff and see how they go up and beyond for each resident that is there ,I can tell you, I can sleep good at night knowing mom is safe and treated with respect. They always have some type of activity going on for the residents and family.The “ community enrichment director” is ALWAYS putting her whole heart into whatever she is doing , to make it safe and fun for all the residents.To see her interact with the residents on a personal level and to know which activity each resident enjoys is also a plus.Very profecssional. The facility is always clean.5 stars...

We are confident that we made the right decision.The quality of care and the genuineness of the staff has made this a five star rating. Our family loves...

I can’t say enough great things about The Palmerton! The staff is warm and caring. The Admissions Director is a man of integrity, warmth and depth of knowledge. The Staff Nurse is caring and warm and prioritizes the quality of life and well-being of her dementia patients. The facility has a pleasant atmosphere & feel; it’s clean and well-kept! The location is quiet, peaceful, and safe.

There’s nothing easy about placing a parent in assisted living, especially when your loved one has dementia. Further complicating the situation is the fact that I live in Chicago not in PA. After visiting 5 or 6 different facilities in eastern and central PA, we placed mom in The Palmerton’s dementia care unit. The limited number of dementia patients was a huge plus for us. There is no question in our minds that the Palmerton is the best...
