Lehigh County officials, Cedarbrook administration and employees, guests and media attended a final beam signing celebrating the upgrade project of the Cedarbrook Senior Care and Rehabilitation’s Allentown campus at the South Whitehall site, 350 S. Cedarbrook Road, Sept. 12.
The upgrade will add 240 beds which will replace all the beds in the current 1920s era B and C wings and a few in the D wing.
There are a total of 678 beds across the Cedarbrook facilities, 90% of which are Medicare recipients.
The new addition will allow for at most two residents per room whereas the current facility has four per room.
Cedarbrook was founded in 1844 to provide care for Lehigh County residents.
Attending dignitaries were asked to sign the final steel beam that would be installed within a few days following the ceremony.
Attendees included Lehigh County Executive Phillips Armstrong, Rick Molchany, director of General Services, Jason Cumello, Cedarbrook administrator, Geoff Brace, chair, Lehigh County Board of Commissioners as well as commissioners Sheila Alvarado, Ron Beitler and Dan Hartzell and State Rep. Milou Mackenzie, R-131st.
Also on hand were officers of the Cedarbrook Resident Council, Jean Larison, president, Karen Snyder, secretary and Marilyn Berger, vice president.
