The Lehigh Valley senior care directory

What is in the Lehigh Valley senior care directory?

The directory lists every licensed personal care home and assisted living residence on DHS's provider directory and every Medicare-certified nursing home, home health agency and hospice in Lehigh, Northampton and Carbon counties, 133 in all.

Where does the directory's data come from?

Only from official bulk data: DHS's Human Services Provider Directory with each license's certificate and inspection history (retrieved November 6, 2026), DHS Licensing Inspection Summaries, and CMS's Provider Data Catalog (data as of October 1, 2026); we do not use aggregator listings, operator marketing or reviews.

Facility pages exist for the 62 homes licensed for 20 or more residents or holding a dementia unit and all 30 nursing homes; smaller homes and agencies appear as roster rows.

How do I use the listing pages?

Each listing page has a search box and filters for county, city and license type (and CMS rating for nursing homes), and every column sorts when you click its heading, so you can, for example, list every Bethlehem home with a dementia unit by size.

• Personal care homes & assisted living
• Secured dementia care units
• Nursing homes
• Home health & hospice

How current are the inspection reports?

DHS inspects every personal care home and assisted living residence at least once a year and investigates complaints in between; across the 68 Lehigh Valley homes whose latest DHS inspection summary we could read, 21 had no violations and the median was 2; the sections cited most often were 2600.103 (storing food, 23 homes), 2600.132 (evacuation, 14 homes), 2600.187 (medication record, 14 homes), 2600.185 (implement storage procedures, 11 homes), 2600.65 (12 hours annual training, 11 homes).

A report with no violations is the strongest signal; a cluster of medication or fire-safety citations deserves a direct question.
