Overview of Atrium of Allentown

Atrium of Allentown is an assisted living and memory care community in Allentown, Pennsylvania, that houses 63 personal care units and a separate, secured 30-bed wing for dementia care.

Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants work on the floor 24 hours a day to handle medication management, assist with daily routines, and coordinate with outside physicians for medical appointments. The kitchen staff prepares three meals daily, plus snacks, while the programming team schedules daily social events and activities tailored for both personal care and specialized memory support.

Interested individuals can get in touch with the main office to inquire about current pricing, room layouts, and open beds. The administrative team can explain the move-in checklist, outline their medical transportation policies, and arrange an on-site visit to show you around the different wings.

Overview of Personal Home Healthcare and Hospice

Personal Home Healthcare and Hospice runs out of a two-story office at 233 Main St in Blakely, Pennsylvania, and it’s worth being clear up front: this isn’t a place where people live, it’s a team that brings care to patients in their own homes. The neighborhood around the office scores a 75 out of 100 on Walk Score, which counts as very walkable, so most errands nearby don’t need a car. Office hours run Monday through Friday, 8:30 in the morning to 5 in the evening, if you want to stop by in person.

The actual care here covers a lot of ground: there’s rehabilitation services and respite care, a doctor on staff, and licensed nurses and CNAs handling the clinical side. Beyond that, the team includes registered nurses, chaplain services for spiritual support, and social workers who provide counseling, plus access to a range of therapy services. Staffing runs 24 hours a day, so help isn’t limited to business hours even though the office itself is.

There’s also a volunteer program built into how this agency operates, giving patients an extra layer of human connection on top of the clinical work. Medicare is accepted here, which matters a lot for hospice and home health care specifically, since that’s how most patients end up paying for these services in the first place.

Mark Siderowicz runs things as Executive Director. Put together, Personal Home Healthcare is a home health and hospice agency built around full clinical coverage, chaplain and counseling support, and round-the-clock availability, all delivered wherever the patient actually lives.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Pennsylvania

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Pennsylvania?

Assisted living in Pennsylvania supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Pennsylvania?

Assisted living in Pennsylvania is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover assisted living?

Pennsylvania Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Pennsylvania) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 458 assisted living facilities in Pennsylvania. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Pennsylvania?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Pennsylvania, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Pennsylvania?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
