Recent reviews of Nursing Homes in Bethlehem, PA
Country Meadows of Allentown
5.0

As my mother began to decline a few years ago, I began looking for a retirement community for her. I visited about ten communities in the Lehigh Valley. It was apparent from the beginning that Country Meadows is special. My mother was very reluctant to leave her home but she quickly adjusted to life at Country Meadows. Making new friends, enjoying a wide range of activities, field trips and country rides keep her engaged. She initially lived in the Personal Care building but has since transitioned to Memory Care and she has received very good care in both. The staff at Country Meadows goes above and beyond their duty. From marketing to the nursing staff to maintenance all are excellent. My mother doesn’t always remember the name Country Meadows so she refers to it as “the place where people treat me so nice”.

We have been very happy with Bethlehem Manor, we would highly recommend them to any family. They are a very caring group of people. Our loved one was nervous her first day but they were so helpful with the transition and made her feel comfortable right away. She now has fit right in and is very happy. Overall she likes the food, but because of the covid restrictions we just aren't sure how many activities are going on.
