My father needed to move from Independent Living to Assisted living quite suddenly after a hospital stay in January 2022. We wanted a place close to where I live and did not know where to start. Two different friends recommended Country Meadows Allentown to us. From the initial contact, to his move in to the facility and subsequent need for hospice onsite, we never regretted the decision! He only lived there for 16 months, but in that times the care was outstanding! He and the rest of our family felt he was known and heard - and they knew us too. The nurses, aids and entire staff did everything they could to make him and me feel welcome there, and it never felt like they were just doing a job. Dad often said that it felt like a family to him- that everyone there wanted to help him and care for him. I am so grateful that he was able to live there until he passed, and I would highly recommend Country Meadows Allentown!
We moved my Mother-in-law to CM in February of 2022. She was living independently for 15 years after her husband died, but at 91 years young, she needed to be somewhere that she could continue her independence. Only one of her children lives in the area. We had a family discussion about the different facilities around Macungie and my brother-in-law knew about Country Meadows. After a quick search and a phone call, we set up an appointment to see the facility. It is lovely and heart warming. We decided "on the spot" that this was the right place for Mom. She has often expressed to us that she wishes she had made the move sooner. Now her sister is also at CM in the Memory Care Unit. It is nice for them to be close. I am a retired Critical Care Nurse and I think CM is top notch. The staff are wonderful and really care about each resident.
My mom, who has dementia, recently transferred to County Meadows from another memory care center, and I can't being to express how wonderful the move has been. Mom's room is airy and spacious; since she had to provide her own furniture at the prior facility, Country Meadows allowed us to bring some of her own things and supplemented with their own furniture, and she loves her room. Laundry and housekeeping have been terrific (no lost clothing); the nursing and wellness staff are on top of issues and keep me up-to-date as to anything at all that is going on, while the onsite medical, dental, and podiatric care have been top-notch. There is always something going on for residents, and the atmosphere is very much that of a community. Staff turnover is minimal so most have been with the facility for a long time and genuinely care about the residents. Our transfer - which needed to happen quickly - was facilitated by the tireless Martie Haller, who moved heaven and earth to find a room for Mom and to make her transfer as quickly as possible. Martie was in touch with me every step of the way and made sure I knew what needed to be done and to keep me updated as to next steps. Martie was so responsive, kind, and generous in listening and helping us with our situation. Sarah Akintoye and all of the carers on-staff in Connections are - they are truly like family members. They care so very much for their residents. On my mother's first day, she sat down and was reading a newspaper, and one of the aides came up and asked her if she wanted to have her nails done. Mom was so surprised and grateful. At any given time, residents are participating in group exercise, singing, doing a cooking project, sitting on the terrace enjoying baby goats who had come to visit, watching a dog parade, or hosting children for trick-or-treating. It feels like a real community where all are welcome and treated with such love. And, on our first day, every single staff member knew my mother's name. I have experience with three memory care facilities, as both of my parents experienced dementia. While the other facilities were certainly very nice, they did not have the special feeling one gets at Country Meadows. The food is great (family members are invited to dine during visits), and family pets and grandchildren are always welcome (my preschool granddaughter gets spoiled rotten whenever we visit). I wish I had considered Country Meadows when my dad needed care, and before Mom moved into the first facility. Many facilities have high rates of staff turnover, not great communication, and very little stimulation for residents - I felt that her last facility was basically warehousing her, with little in the way of diverse activities. Caring for a parent with dementia is very, very difficult. We tried to care for my mom for three years after her diagnosis, and it simply became too difficult. We felt tremendous guilt about our decision, but since she has been at Country Meadows, I am finally able to relax, knowing that the care she is getting is better than what I could give. I am so grateful to Country Meadows for the life they are giving my mom.
At Country Meadows Independent Living my father enjoys a worry-free and enriching lifestyle. Our family is impressed with the security and comfort of this community. From the friendly staff to the beneficial amenities this place provides peace of mind for all of us.
