Webster Towers

Webster Towers stands as an eight-story senior apartment building in the Hill Section of Scranton, Pennsylvania, providing independent living for people aged 62 or older and those with mobility disabilities, and it's been around since 1972 as a nonsectarian, nonprofit place where both subsidized and non-subsidized rent options help different folks with their needs, and the rates depend on income so you'll find something that fits, with some apartments even set aside for younger adults with mobility disabilities who meet eligibility. The apartments, 85 in total across seven floors, come in one-bedroom, standard two-bedroom, and large deluxe two-bedroom layouts with over 900 square feet if you need more space, and there's private parking, a spotless building, grounds that stay tidy year-round, and pet-friendly policies so residents can keep pets with them if they wish. The first floor has offices and a big multi-use community room for all sorts of gatherings and programs, while every floor gives residents access to a laundry room and trash nook for convenience. Residents get plenty of chances to stay social with things like Bingo, holiday parties, entertainers, games of all sorts, bi-weekly prepared midday meals, and speakers coming in to talk about different topics, and volunteer programs bring even more activities, from Seniorsize exercise classes to basic computer training and meal serving during events and parties. The building's got accessible features for those who need them, with ten percent of apartments set up for people with disabilities, and everyone gets treated fairly since the community follows equal housing opportunity rules and doesn't discriminate against anyone. Residents sign a one-year lease that keeps going month-to-month after the first year, and the structure puts apartments on floors two through eight while the main common spaces stay on the ground floor, where most of the activity happens and where friends and neighbors gather for events or just to visit, and folks can also connect through social media if they want. The whole place stays managed by a volunteer board, and Webster Towers keeps things open with flexible hours including evenings so residents and visitors have an easier time.
