From initial conversation to unfortunately end of life, the team at Legend showed me and my family respect and quality care. Tyler was excellent with follow through and taking concerns seriously and acting immediately. Showing our family his respect at our family members funeral is a true depiction of his character and the heart of the team at Legend. Thank you for showing us what senior living should look like!

I recently visited Legend of Allentown, and I was thoroughly impressed by the cleanliness of the community. I visited several other communities in the past and couldn't get past the trash in the parking lot and how the building didn't smell fresh and clean. Legend of Allentown definitely takes pride in their community. The staff also seemed very engaged with the residents. The care staff were knocking on resident doors to see if they wanted to participate in Happy Hour. It was great to see residents engaging with either other and making new friends. Kudos to Legend of Allentown!!

Staci, the Sales Director, truly goes above and beyond to assist families with the overwhelming decision to move into a community. Her genuine warmth and compassion allows families to immediately connect with her. I have worked professionally with her to assist in the move in process. She has visit with our clients in the hospital on her way home from work not just to add an extra smile, but to add reassurance they are in good hands with her. Staci’s professional manner and care for residents doesn’t end at the day of move in. She’s an invaluable resource for families and an amazing team member.

My father recently moved to Legend of Allentown. If you’ve been in the position of transitioning your parent into an independent living facility, you know how fraught with anxiety it can be. Legend of Allentown made this transition as easy as possible. From the daily activities to the caring, helpful staff, my dad’s days are now filled with fun, laughter, and conversation. I am so grateful to Legend and its staff for helping us through this transition. I would recommend it to anyone searching for a new home for their loved one. I promise, they will truly feel at home with the wonderful people who work there.

My dad and I enrolled my mom in the memory care unit at the Legend facility in May of 2024. Before she moved in, we took the tour and asked lots of questions to be sure it would be a good fit for all parties. After expressing our concerns for my mom, we were given assurances that she would have a 1:1 staff for the first week to help acclimate to the new setting and have plenty of activities to keep her busy and engaged. Unfortunately, that never happened. In fact, no one bothered to contact us after the first week to even ask how things were going. Needless to say that was deeply concerning, especially since we brought my mom home after a few days and nobody even noticed. As far as their activities - they had Music Memories class, but no staff were present. They simply had an mp3 device playing music while 2 residents sat beside it fast asleep. Another day we observed their Stretching/Exercise class and once again, no staff present. There was a DVD video showing some lady doing aerobics while a small group of residents sat in front of the TV. The next day we visited and wanted to join in an arts activity, but it was cancelled. Just keep in mind, there are only activities between 9am-4pm each day so residents who wake early or stay up late are out of luck. Regarding the staffing, this wasn't just some random occurrence - each day we visited, there was hardly any staff to be seen on the unit. And when we did notice them, they were cleaning the bathroom or giving medication. The sad reality is that we regularly saw the residents wandering around aimlessly or sleeping in a chair/sofa with no staff around. We also encountered a lack of transparency from management regarding the staffing ratio. When we asked about it, they refused to give a number, saying that it varied based on occupancy. Making matters worse, on one particular day my dad visited and wanted to join my mom for dinner. However, no dining staff were present and residents were growing restless - so my dad had to visit the front desk to remind them to feed everyone. Their excuse - there was a staff meeting. At 430pm? I can't help but wonder how long the residents would have waited to be fed if my dad didn't intervene. In the end we removed my mom from Legend soon after moving in. We simply felt the lack of proper staffing posed a safety risk as well as the not enough healthy interaction. Considering that she enjoyed going out into the courtyard, it also worried us that she (or any resident) might fall and there would be no staff around to help her. Mind you, the facility is state of the art, beautifully decorated and clean. However, it's by far the most expensive in the area at $8000/month for memory care (plus a $2500 one-time fee). But what good is a gorgeous facility for your loved one when there's not enough staff to keep them safe or stimulated? In the end we were extremely disappointed with Legend and didn't feel that my mom would be safe there.
