Stretching from independent living through memory care, respite care, and nursing home care up to skilled nursing, The Terrace at Phoebe Allentown operates in Allentown, PA. Independent residents get a home of their own, with community services included, but go without daily care. Memory care keeps watch over residents who could wander, inside a secured area.

Nursing home care gives ongoing nursing help, and under the skilled designation, licensed nurses lead the clinical work. When a family’s caregiver needs to leave town or recuperate, respite provides a limited stay. As support needs rise, residents can stay put, which suits someone who expects to need more help later.

At 343 beds, The Terrace falls in the large-scale band, and a home that size generally means a larger resident population, a larger staff, and a fuller program. Nursing time per resident averages 3 hours 49 minutes a day.

The housing is studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms. One person can live in a studio, while spouses or a resident with a companion can choose two bedrooms. Residents may keep pets in the community.

Most errands are reachable on foot in this very walkable area, which helps residents who no longer drive. Payment can be Medicare, Medicaid, or private. Medicare applies to short-term skilled stays after hospitalization rather than to living there, and Medicaid helps once savings run short on a long stay. Otherwise, the resident pays directly.
