Heather Glen Senior Living
Assisted Living & Memory Care · Allentown, PA

Overview of Heather Glen Senior Living

Heather Glen Senior Living provides assisted living and memory care in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The community uses a unique layout split into four distinct neighborhoods. Each section houses ten residents in private studio apartments with personal bathrooms, allowing seniors to live in a small-group environment rather than a massive complex. Residents in each neighborhood share a central kitchen, dining room, living area, and laundry station to mix personal independence with daily socialization.

The facility’s health services include 24-hour nursing supervision, physical rehabilitation, and basic home care support. Dedicated memory care spaces utilize electronic locks, alarmed entryways, and enclosed outdoor walking routes to protect residents with cognitive changes. The campus features an open fitness center, a golf putting green, and a therapy garden built for gentle outdoor exercise. Chefs prepare three daily meals and keep snacks available at all hours.

The surrounding Allentown neighborhood has a walkability score of 25 out of 100, meaning the immediate area is largely car-dependent. Visiting family members and staff will usually need a vehicle to run errands or travel outside the property lines.

Interested individuals researching local assisted living apartments or specialized memory care units in Lehigh County can reach out to the admissions coordinators at Heather Glen Senior Living to check floor plan availability, ask about baseline monthly fees, or schedule a tour.
