If you’re considering choosing Allentown, PA, as your retirement destination, you’re making a great choice. According to US News and Global Report, Allentown is the 5th best city to retire to in the United States in 2024. In fact, Allentown scored higher for healthcare than the cities in spots 1-4 on the list!
There are many reasons to choose senior living in Allentown, from its charming historic sites to its West End Theater District. However, one of the biggest reasons is that it’s home to one of the best senior care communities around – Rittenhouse Village at Lehigh Valley.
Let’s see why Rittenhouse Village stands above other Allentown senior living communities and should be your next home.
The Best Senior Living in Allentown, PA
There are many options for senior living in Allentown, from independent senior living to communities that provide extra support. At Rittenhouse Village, we offer two residential options:
- Senior personal care assistance
- SHINE memory care
Senior Personal Care Assistance
As we age, most of us need a little extra help with the daily activities of life. Senior personal care assistance at Rittenhouse Village gives older people the support they need. Care is provided with dignity, focusing on maintaining independence for as long as possible.
Here are some personal care options our team provides:
- Going to the bathroom
- Eating
- Moving in and out of bed
- Walking
- Bathing
- Grooming
- Dressing
Many seniors rely on daily medication to keep them healthy. However, research by AARP has found that many people struggle to manage their own medication. At Rittenhouse Village, our care team is delighted to help you with this vital task.
It’s important to note that in our senior personal care assistance community, there are no doctors or nurses on site. However, we ensure that each resident has regular medical checkups and receives the medical care they need. We also update our personalized care plans regularly to meet people’s changing needs.
SHINE Memory Care
Memory loss is not an unavoidable part of old age. However, in 2022, researchers at Columbia University published the following discoveries:
- 10% of US adults aged 65 and older have dementia
- 22% have mild cognitive impairment
Seniors with memory challenges deserve the very best support. They need to feel safe, secure, and well cared for. At the same time, they also need mental stimulation to help them enjoy life and maintain as much independence as possible.
At Rittenhouse Village, our SHINE Memory Care program provides just that. We base our approach to care on scientifically proven data. This helps improve our residents’ quality of life by providing care grounded in respect.
Some aspects of SHINE Memory Care at Rittenhouse Village Lehigh Valley include:
- 24/7 care from trained medical professionals
- Nurses on site
- Neighborhood designed to be safe and convenient for dementia sufferers
- “My Story” is a personalized book that celebrates residents’ individuality
