Ascension Manor 2

Ascension Manor 2 is an 11-story apartment building for seniors aged 62 and older located at 911 N Franklin St in Philadelphia, in the Northern Liberty area, close to the Downtown District and near public transportation, so people can get around without much trouble. The community sits on three and a half acres with benches and a walking path and offers affordable senior housing with government-subsidized rent for low-income residents. Efficiency and one-bedroom apartments come with air conditioning, window coverings, storage space, and private or shared layouts, and people can use on-site laundry, a hair salon, and have secure parking with an electronic gate. Staff and dedicated health professionals work around the clock with management on-site to help residents who need assistance with daily activities like bathing, grooming, dressing, and medication, though the community doesn't provide the full-time skilled nursing care you'd find in a nursing home. The building's monitored by surveillance cameras on every floor and has an electronic face recognition detection system, plus 24-hour emergency maintenance if something goes wrong at any hour. Meals are planned by chefs, so residents get nutritious, balanced food each day, and there are regular housekeeping and laundry services to keep things tidy. The community offers assisted living, independent living, board and care, residential care home options, memory care for seniors with dementia, and even respite care for those needing short-term help, with each resident getting a plan for care that matches their personal needs. Activities fill the calendar every month and include fitness classes, arts workshops, social and wellness programs, plus outings and excursions to explore Philadelphia or run errands, and transportation is available for medical appointments or shopping. The campus encourages safety and social engagement, and the staff is known for being professional, courteous, joyful, and helpful. While the community provides many services and has won awards for its activities and friendly staff, it doesn't have details about pets or specific recreation features, but it does aim to help older adults who want to live as independently as possible with a little extra support in a secure place. Managed by The Michaels Organization, Ascension Manor 2 provides a practical, affordable option for seniors looking for various levels of care and a comfortable home environment.
