Imagine living in the historic Central Park area of Allentown located within a short walking distance of banks, restaurants, shops and entertainment.

CARF-CCAC Accreditation:
Westminster Village Allentown is pleased to be accredited by CARF-CCAC.
The Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CCAC) was founded in 1985 and dedicated to fostering excellence, integrity and innovation in the aging services field. To enhance these important efforts, CCAC merged in 2003 with the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), an independent, not-for-profit accrediting body promoting quality, value and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process. The alignment of these respected organizations has been a positive step in creating an independent resource to help consumers identify high-quality care providers for older adults.
An organization receiving this Five-Year Accreditation has put itself through a rigorous peer review process and has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site survey that it is committed to conforming to CARF-CCAC's high standards. It is widely regarded as the "seal of excellence" in identifying high quality programs and services to older adults.
Our Services Include:
Independent Living with Supportive and Assited Living Services.
Spacious apartments are combined with an array of services designed to provide freedom, privacy and security.
In addition, Westminster Village At-Home Services as well as assisted living services are offered in the apartments to enable people to remain in that setting without having to downsize to a smaller assisted living unit. This is particularly beneficial to spouses wanting to stay together in their apartment.
Adult Day Programs
Three different programs provided Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to meet the needs of families who care for an older loved one at home. One program is designed for those with Alzheimer's or related dementia, another for those who need additional structure and support to remain active and independent, and another for those seeking socialization and friendships.
