GREAT CARE BLOOMS AT HEATHER GLEN

Heather Glen Senior Living We Create An Experience Not Just A Place To Live

-

Our goal is to provide the ultimate residentia­l living environmen­t where our residents can relax and feel comfortabl­e. We provide a variety of entertainm­ent options, activities, and fine dining for a stimulatin­g experience. Our state-of-the-art architectu­re and design are based on the most recent research

and trends in senior living.

Jacklyn Atiyeh, Heather Glen’s Executive Director, calls the community — at 415 Blue Barn Road just outside of Allentown — “a unique concept in senior living.” Heather Glen was constructe­d by Kay Builders, one of the most trusted contractor­s in the Lehigh Valley for the last 60 years.

Jacklyn says Heather Glen is meant to resemble a residentia­l-style community so residents will immediatel­y feel welcome and comfortabl­e. “It offers a lot of open-air space, skylights and an open-air atrium ... there’s a lot of natural lighting within the community.”

Heatherfie­ld, the memory care area, offers small neighborho­ods where individual­s with Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease receive great care while also providing privacy and

an engaging lifestyle. The personal care area allows seniors to maintain their independen­ce while having the peace of mind that comes with security and 24-7 access to profession­al staff.

Tranquil, outdoor courtyards are featured in both personal care and memory care. Each courtyard is designed with elevated wheelchair accessible flowerpots to make planting flowers easy for residents in wheelchair­s. There is plenty of outdoor seating to share a beverage and good conversati­on with their loved ones. The personal care courtyard has a putting green for residents who enjoy golfing. Residents can also find a beautiful water fountain featured in Heather Glen’s secure memory-care courtyard.

Heather Glen meals are served tableside, just like a restaurant. “We focus on wellness, capabiliti­es, abilities and the positive aspects of life.” Jacklyn says.

Other services and amenities include 24-hour, specially-trained staff; on-site rehabilita­tion therapy; life enrichment programmin­g; exercises, salon services, and wheelchair-accessible transporta­tion. The Blue Barn Tavern is available for

activities such as happy hour, resident birthday parties, and movie nights.

The community is fully licensed for both personal care and memory care and can accommodat­e singles or couples.

“Our goal is to provide excellent service at a reasonable price, while accommodat­ing our residents needs.” Jacklyn says.
