Grundy Hall sits at 1290 Almshouse Road in Doylestown, PA, and it's a place that's been around since 1979, so a lot of people in Lower, Central, and Upper Bucks County know it for its affordable senior living. The building's got four stories with elevators on every floor and a total of 152 apartments, mostly one-bedroom units but there are also two-bedroom options, and out of all these, 12 are wheelchair accessible, which makes things easier for folks with mobility concerns, and everyone gets a fridge and range, plus laundry rooms and all utilities are included in the rent, so it's simple to keep track of costs. Grundy Hall is part of the Section 8 (202) program, so it's for seniors aged 62 and older who need affordable options, although there's also some housing for non-elderly disabled individuals, but the waiting list's closed right now since demand stays high, and rent is income-based, usually about 30% of what you bring in every month.
It's a Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity community with rules about who can live there, and you have to have at least one person who's 62 or older in the household, and the place welcomes some pets if you follow the rules, so you might see a few small dogs or cats around, but you'll want to ask about which pets are allowed before you move in. The building's set up with good safety features like fire alarms and smoke detectors, on-site mail delivery, on-site parking, and security systems, so people feel safe and their families know they're looked after. They also have regular maintenance and house cleaning services, and if you want, you can sign up for extra supports like help with daily activities, medication management, meals, personal care, and there's respite, hospice, and adult daycare services too, so folks can get a break or more assistance when needed.
Grundy Hall offers different services and programs through things like the Housing Choice Voucher Program and Interfaith Housing, and you'll see them use clear terms like Payment Standards or Utility Allowance Chart when talking about rent or utility costs which helps people understand what they're dealing with, and if you're making a move, they have local advisors who provide lists of communities that fit your needs, and there's no fee for those services unless you decide to move into one of their partner communities. The staff stays on site and care's available around the clock, especially in the secure memory care area, and residents dealing with Alzheimer's or similar conditions get special activities to help their memory. Skilled nursing and rehab care are also options, plus there are independent apartments for folks who want to keep living on their own, and those who need more help can move into assisted living or memory care units.
Grundy Hall's got shared spaces for residents like lounges and landscaped grounds where you can walk or relax, on-site dining that takes care to meet dietary needs, and places are all non-smoking to keep things clean, and with public transport nearby like Doylestown DART and Bucks County Transport, plus SEPTA buses, getting to appointments or shopping is easier. Reviews and ratings are checked for accuracy at Grundy Hall, and they keep an open process so families can see real feedback, with the SeniorAdvisor.com Promise confirming that comments come from real experiences, and even though they haven't set out Grundy Hall's exact prices, the general area's average reported price is about $275.
