Review for The Terrace at Phoebe Allentown

It has been wonderful. The staff is great and so easy to work with. Mom is really happy and her apartment is beautiful! I didn't know that she had already toured the facility and was looking at their availability on and off for the last few years.

A Blessing

To anyone that can afford a CCRC community I would recommend. Only thing to add is I really appreciate the services of "A Place for Mom" I chose this community for my loved one; 1st because it was a CCRC facility, 2nd the studio apartment is very Spacious! 3rd close to family and her regular activities.

I like the community and it had a lot of promise for independent living. The food looked great and they gave us a sample to take home and try. They even have great views from what I could see.
