More about Phoebe Ministries
Founded on Christian principles, the organization has been serving seniors and their families with a continuum of care services that include skilled nursing, personal care, and community-based programs. Phoebe operates under a 'Faith in Action' philosophy instituted in 2009, which guides both resident care and staff interactions through seven core pillars. For nursing professionals, Phoebe offers roles such as RN Supervisor, Registered Nurse, Licensed Practical Nurse, and Nursing Assistant across its campuses. The organization emphasizes a 'Customer Driven Culture' and seeks candidates who align with its mission-driven approach to senior care. As a long-standing provider in the Lehigh Valley region, Phoebe Ministries is one of the area's recognized senior care organizations, with a workforce that includes nursing, dining services, community life, and administrative staff. The Allentown campus appears to be the flagship location, offering scheduled shifts such as 7am–7pm for RN Supervisors on an every-other-weekend basis. Employee feedback paints a mixed picture: while staff appreciate the clear sense of purpose and flexibility, concerns around management support, inclusivity, and career advancement are notable.
Phoebe Ministries' mission is 'A community of faith, called by God, to enrich the lives of our seniors, their families, and the communities we serve.' Its vision is 'Inspired by our faith, we will lead the way with innovative services that promote fullness of life.' The Faith in Action (FiA) philosophy rests on seven pillars: accountability, compassion, ethical conduct, the Fruit of the Spirit, integrity, respect, and stewardship. These values are intended to govern all staff behaviors and actions within the communities they serve, emphasizing compassionate, resident-centered care.
