Secured dementia care units in the Lehigh Valley

Which Lehigh Valley homes have a secured dementia care unit?

29 of the 70 licensed homes in Lehigh, Northampton and Carbon counties have a secured dementia care unit or special care unit on their DHS certificate, with 1,122 unit places in all; the largest is Saucon Valley Manor with 100. These are the only places in the three counties licensed to lock a dementia unit's doors.

Is every 'memory care' building on this list?

Every licensed personal care home or assisted living residence with a secured unit is on it, but a home without a secured unit can still serve residents with mild dementia who are not at risk of wandering; what it cannot do is lock them in.

Nursing homes also care for many residents with dementia under their own Department of Health license. See secured dementia units explained.
