Pennswood Village sits on an 82-acre campus with plenty of green space and peaceful gardens, and folks here can walk on winding paths or sit on outdoor patios and balconies. The community welcomes people ages 65 and older and offers a range of living options, including independent living, assisted living at Barclay House, memory care, skilled nursing at Woolman House, and respite care for folks who need short-term help. Pennswood follows Quaker principles, focusing on respect, dignity, and including people from many backgrounds and faiths, and you can see this in how warmly everyone gets greeted and how much attention is paid to treating every resident with care.
People who live at Pennswood Village get easy access to award-winning medical centers in the region, and there's an on-campus healthcare team for both planned checkups and unexpected needs, which takes a weight off your shoulders. There's also in-house skilled nursing, 24-hour call system support, and help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, or supervision for day-to-day peace of mind. Residents have the option for maintenance-free living by just making a call, and all apartments come with full kitchens, dishwashers, washer and dryer, solid-surface countertops, and individually controlled air and heat. There are flexible floor plans to choose from, whether folks want a studio, a one-bedroom, or a two-bedroom spot, and you'll find features like window coverings, walk-in showers or tubs, and multiple phone outlets. The campus has fast WiFi everywhere, so you can stay in touch or watch a show from anywhere, plus private and visitor parking are close by.
Pennswood Village encourages learning, spiritual growth, and recreation, and there's a range of activities like art exhibits at the Pennswood Art Gallery and The Silverman Gallery, movie nights, gardening, cultural and educational programs, collaborations with local groups, and even chances to see "Cooking Up Comfort with Chef Ed" for those who want to learn new recipes. There's a big library with over 6,000 books, spaces for quiet thought or meditation, and community rooms designed for social gatherings. Folks who enjoy being physically active will find a fitness center, walking paths, and wellness programs, but you can also find space for quiet reflection and relaxation. The campus features an arts room, a barber and beauty salon, modern restrooms, and emergency alert systems for safety.
Residents who have special diets get accommodations in meal preparation and service, and there's a Meals on Wheels program for those who need it. Apartment balconies or patios help bring in light and fresh air, and many units come with outdoor storage. For day-to-day living, transportation and move-in help are available, and services like non-ambulatory care, community events, and community-sponsored activities mean that folks can settle in and focus on enjoying what matters to them. Pennswood Village's non-profit status and over forty-year history guided by Quaker traditions help create an open, welcoming place for older adults who value support, independence, and a community that respects every stage of life.
