When choosing a home in Allentown or elsewhere in the Lehigh Valley, after all considerations are considered, location stands as a primary factor in making the decision. The same is true for choosing a memory care community for yourself or a loved one. What is the surrounding area like? Is it welcoming and safe? Are there appropriate recreational activities and events? Would you want to live in this town?
The South Mountain Memory Care community is located in Emmaus, PA, which is nationally ranked as one of the nicest small towns in America. Emmaus is a quaint historic community of 11,500 nestled on the northern slope of South Mountain. It lies 50 miles north of Philadelphia and 20 miles west of the Delaware River. Formed in 1759 as a closed Moravian village on land owned by the church, Emmaus became incorporated as a Pennsylvania borough a hundred years later in 1859. The arrival of the railroad in the same year expanded the town’s opportunity for manufacturing and other business. Its initial industries included iron mining, iron furnaces, a foundry, and a machine company. In the late 1800s, additional industries included silk manufacturing, cigar factories, bottling companies, and others.
Today, Emmaus is a vibrant community in southwestern Lehigh County that offers a true community atmosphere. There are parks, trails, a farmers’ market, and lots of hometown holiday events.
