Memory care services are listed as available but there is no definitive public evidence verifying the existence of a dedicated memory care unit; therefore, families seeking intensive Alzheimer's or dementia care may wish to inquire directly for details.

Reviews from residents and families are mixed. The majority of feedback emphasizes positive experiences, highlighting attentive and compassionate staff, strong communication, personalized care plans, cleanliness, good food, and a wide range of engaging activities. Several reviewers recount timely and supportive responses from management during challenging times, including the COVID-19 pandemic. However, some reviews cite serious concerns regarding understaffing, administrative mistakes—such as medication errors or lapses in oxygen supply—suspected neglect, theft, and changes in quality following shifts in management. In particular, multiple reviews reference repeated medication errors, which may be reflective of actual recurring issues or potentially duplicated reports. Prospective residents and families are advised to consider both the predominantly favorable aspects of care and community alongside these reported concerns.
As of mid-2024, no major expansions or new service developments have been reported for Lehigh Commons. The facility continues to operate as an assisted living community focused on assisting seniors with personal care and daily life enrichment.
