Green Ridge Village sits on scenic land in Newville, Pennsylvania, where wetlands, woods, and wildlife surround cottages, apartments, lodges, and studios, and you'll see folks enjoying the view from patios and balconies that stretch off private homes that range from 468 to 890 square feet, with kitchens equipped with appliances like microwaves, dishwashers, and stoves, and you'll notice how the buildings take after Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture and keep things ecologically friendly. Green Ridge Village is a Continuing Care Retirement Community, or a Life Plan Community, where residents can shift from Independent Living to Personal Care, At-Home Support, Memory Care in a secured unit, and Skilled Nursing and End-of-Life support all in one place, so someone never has to leave just because needs change. With 105 units and a price structure that covers everything, there's a choice of private or semi-private rooms and pet-friendly policies, so small pets are welcome, and apartments have features like separate storage, individually controlled heating and air, maintenance-free upkeep, and plenty of room to make the space your own, since complimentary design help is available.
People here fill their days with all sorts of activities; you'll see clubs and social gatherings happening around almost every corner, because there's a model train club, woodworking, card games like Bridge and Pinochle, bird watching, fishing, arts and crafts in the studio, and the gardening club working in the dirt, and you might catch one of the singing groups rehearsing or someone planning for a community celebration like the annual crab fest, strawberry festival, or a wine and cheese tasting, with birthday dinners and events for holidays like Lunar New Year also being big parts of life. There's a fitness and aquatic center for swimming, aquatic aerobics, and strength training, and you'll find wellness programs geared toward healthy living along with an emphasis on lifelong learning, as the community partners with nearby colleges and universities for classes and lectures, so there's always something new to try, whether it's a readers' club meeting in the library or a group exercise class.
Dining options at Green Ridge Village cover a range of tastes, with a casual Bistro for quick bites, an elegant dining room for full meals, and a private dining room for special events or family visits, and meal times are set out for both lunch and dinner through the week, with brunch on Fridays and an early dinner on Sundays, and the menu focuses on balanced, heart-healthy choices, always offering daily specials, hot entrees, sandwiches made to order, soups, and desserts. You'll notice a tobacco-free environment, daily housekeeping, in-home meal service, scheduled transportation, and laundry-either self-serve or provided-along with a beauty and barber salon for those who want it, and all these pieces come together under Presbyterian Senior Living's guidance, with resources in place for aging, disaster recovery, dementia care, and spiritual needs met by the onsite chapel and chaplain.
Staff help coordinate personal care, assisted living, memory care, short-term respite stays, long-term or transitional care, and skilled nursing, with both private and semi-private accommodations, and Green Ridge Village is licensed as a personal care home in Pennsylvania, accredited by respected commissions. Residents and their families can use scheduled visits, virtual tours, the community library, and opportunities to give feedback through various channels. Pets are allowed in apartments, group purchasing is available, and families can tailor their loved one's care and apartment layout using provided guides and toolkits. All in all, at Green Ridge Village, seniors find a place where they don't have to stop learning, being active, or having their say in community life, with the simple comforts and choices that make aging a little easier.
