What Families Think

Feedback on EverTrue Luther Crest is sharply divided by care type: independent living, personal care, and rehab therapy draw strong praise for a warm, close-knit community with plentiful activities, while several families describe serious lapses in the skilled nursing/rehab side, including hygiene neglect, slow response to call bells, and communication breakdowns. Many reviewers speak highly of individual staff members and the overall campus atmosphere, but a cluster of one-star reviews raises real concerns about consistency of hands-on care.

  • Several families cite poor communication from staff and administration
  • Reports of understaffing affecting response times and care quality

Luther crest rehab facility is a premier rehab facility. My spouse entered facility unable to walk and Pt staff did an excellent job in accomplishing her goal to return home in a short time frame. The facility is super clean and the 3 meals a day are top quality food with priority of a nutritional meal to build muscle structure to accomplish her goals . With a recent inspection by government officials the facility passed all areas with zero defects . We would recommend this facility to clients want quality staff , food and services.

My name is Eugene, and I want to share my deepest appreciation for the incredible care my mother, Elena, received at EverTrue Luthercrest. From the moment we walked through the doors, it was clear that this community truly prioritizes compassion, professionalism, and dignity. Valentina, the administrator, sets the tone for the entire facility. She is warm, attentive, and always ready to help with anything our family needed. Her leadership ensures that residents and their families feel supported every step of the way. I also want to give special recognition to Linda, one of the nurses who cared for my mom with patience, kindness, and genuine concern. She consistently went above and beyond—whether it was answering our questions, checking on my mom’s comfort, or simply offering a reassuring smile during difficult moments. Thanks to the entire EverTrue Luthercrest team, my mom felt safe, respected, and truly cared for. Their dedication made a challenging time significantly easier for our family. I am forever grateful for the love and professionalism they showed Elena. I wholeheartedly recommend EverTrue Luthercrest to any family looking for exceptional, compassionate care.

Staff and residents are friendly and interesting to converse with. There's a wide variety of great food and activities from which to choose. The campus, which is an accredited Arboretum, is a beautiful place for outside activities like walking, bocce, and our CROP Hunger Walk in the autumn and our Water Walk for Malawi in the spring.

We have been at Evertrue Luther Crest for 4 years. We moved here to be in an active community and have not been disappointed. This is also a caring group of people who look out for others in the community. Staff provide many activities to choose from: trips, exercise classes, educational lectures and events, and much fun and laughter. We are grateful that we are part of this wonderful group of people!

Luther Crest is a fantastic continuing retirement community in the Allentown area. As a physician, I've served in multiple nursing facilities and have never seen the kind, compassionate nature that is not only present but expected at Luther Crest. We are proud to be a smaller facility that has time to get to know our residents. The team including our nurses, aides, social services, administration, therapists, dietary all work cohesively together. With our rehab residents, our social services team works on discharge planning from the moment of admission. They communicate with patient, families, and other members of the team regarding level of care, care expectations, and outpatient appointments. Our team meets daily to review our rehab residents' appropriateness for safe discharge to home or another location. I cannot say enough good things about our institution, both our CCRC as a whole and our nursing facility/ personal care. In reading through the comments, would recommend taking making choices about rehab/ health care facilities with a grain of salt. We are proud of our staff and response to ever changing residents/ medical situations. Glad to be available too if there any questions!
