About Gap View Personal Care Home, Inc

Morning Star Manor offers professional assisted living in Pen Argyle, Pennsylvania. This suburb of Allentown is quaint and familiar. However, there’s more to this area than rolling green hills and pleasant main streets. Most people are familiar with Pen Argyle as the last town they visit before embarking on the famous Appalachian Trail. Morning Star Manor is housed within a historic small-town hospital, which was…

Subpar

My cousin resides there and we will be moving him elsewhere. Not enough staff. The administrator is rarely there. And does not respond to phone calls or emails. They are always short staffed. The food is good.

Subpar

My Mom lived there for a short time. The staff was friendly. However, they seemed not trained very well. The administrator was never there. She was always at the other Personal care home that she managed. She never returned calls. The room my mom was in was very small. They were always late with giving her medications. The mattress on my mother's bed was old, flat and dirty. They refused to replace it. No activities in the building. Just a sad depressing place.

Inadequate

We moved our Mother in Gap View. Very subpar. Hardly any activities. The furniture is old and dirty looking. The staff are hard to find. Usually outside smoking. The administrator is never there. It takes several days for a return call. No TVs in the residents rooms We will be moving mom to another place.

Can’t wait to move my mom in! The place looks amazing and so homey. The woman who did my tour was so sweet and amazing. Love the little town and how all the residents are happy. The staff was so caring and the food smelled so good they were making there

I toured this building a few weeks ago because my father needs more assistance. The front of the building look very old and needed some updating. The inside of the building you can tell that they remodeled it looks clean. The rooms were extremely small with no private bathrooms. The floors in the rooms just look dirty and aged. The staff was friendly the person who did the tour with me was very friendly and very informative. The building is extremely old and there's no elevator or any other way for someone who had

Toured the building. The downstairs updated. Staff was friendly. The upstairs was dirty and it had a strong urine odor. The person who toured me was very apolgenic. I could not get out of there fast enough.
