Resident Communications
Phoebe Ministries is committed to helping residents stay in touch with loved ones and participate in campus activities and hobbies. To support that mission, we use a variety of technologies and approaches to strengthen resident’s connection to loved ones and interests.
Campus activities are broadcast directly to each resident’s television set and to monitors located throughout the campus. The same information is broadcast on our website so family members can participate in the lives of their loved one.
In addition to broadcasting activities, this program offers free-use Internet lounges, adaptive devices, coaches and classes designed to teach elders many ways the Internet can enrich lives. Both the Allentown and the Berks campuses currently offer programs.
Phoebe Allentown operates its own telephone service, which links most of the Phoebe communities. This enables users to call within these areas and any number local to them without incurring long distance charges.
Residents can use the Phoebe Telephone System as their local telephone provider and benefit from the wide local service area. Telephone feature options available for subscribers of the Phoebe Telephone Service include:
- Voice Mail Service
- Call Waiting
- Call Forwarding
- Caller ID
- Second Telephone Line (commonly used for fax or modem/internet connection)
For more information regarding the Phoebe Telephone System, call 610-794-5053.
