Pennswood Village stands as a senior living community in a peaceful setting for adults age 65 and older, and while it's known for having Quaker roots and over forty years of experience, what you'll really notice is how they've put a lot into making sure residents have options. Residents can choose between apartments or cottages, with floor plans like studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts that give space for a washer and dryer, a patio or balcony, lots of closet space, nice draperies, solid countertops, and an over-the-range microwave, which is important for many who're used to having a comfortable home. Dining services mean you get choices, and there's a dining room for restaurant-style meals, plus attention to allergies or other diet needs, and if you want to take part in culinary events, those happen too, like the "Cooking Up Comfort" chef series in the community kitchen.
Wellness programs and recreational facilities support an active lifestyle, and you'll find amenities like a fitness room, wellness spaces, outdoor gardens, walking paths, a movie theater, library, art gallery, spa, sauna, and activity rooms for arts or games, and unique neighborhoods geared for either independent or assisted living. Community spaces are designed for social connection, with activity schedules, art exhibitions, resident-led programs, meet-and-greet events, music and movie nights, outdoor events, and the Pennswood Art Gallery that offers curated and museum-quality shows, which a lot of folks enjoy because it gives a sense of community and culture.
The facility offers different types of care, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, with a skilled nursing unit that provides post-acute care for those who need it. Pennswood Village, as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), tries to cover changing health needs so people can stay in one place as their needs grow. Specialized care comes with round-the-clock support, including 12-16 hour nursing coverage by RNs and other staff, a 24-hour call system for emergencies, help with bathing, dressing, and medication, and non-ambulatory care for those with limited mobility. For those keeping track, care hours here break down to about 175 minutes a day from Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs), 48 minutes from LPNs, and 114 minutes from RNs, so staffing is strong, and the nursing facility has 53 licensed beds under Medicare, certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
Healthcare services are available on-site, and family support programs help loved ones stay involved. When it comes to household routines, the facility has both housekeeping and laundry, including dry cleaning, and rooms are set up with private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, telephones, kitchenettes, and fast internet access. Pennswood Village is careful with safety, providing emergency alert systems, twenty-four hour supervision, and a reliable transportation and parking system, including help with moving in and concierge services as needed.
There are employment opportunities here too, for people qualified as CNAs, LPNs, RNs, and caregivers. The community spirit shows in resident-run activities, garden spaces, and in the way programs are designed to support both independence and well-being with amenities for everyday living and opportunities for social and cultural enjoyment. Pennswood Village stays true to its Quaker founding by focusing on kindness, welcoming people, and striving for a caring environment where seniors can live comfortably and stay engaged, and they've managed to keep things both homey and active without needing to oversell it, given everything that's already in place.
