Temple Apartments in Edwardsville, PA, sits right in the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre area and has been around since 1985 with a solid, up-to-date building, making it a known spot for senior living, and while some people call it a "senior apartment" community, you'll notice it's meant for folks aged 55 and up, though some services are for those 62 and older. The property has 92 apartment units, most of them one-bedroom or studio layouts, all cable ready and including utilities, and there's a total building size of almost 37,000 square feet. Affordable living stands out because Temple Apartments offers Section 8 rental help for its 93 senior apartment homes, so it's a low-income senior community that welcomes people who need a little help with housing costs, and it lets people bring pets too, which some places don't allow.
The staff and nurses stay on-site and check in on people 24 hours a day, with doctors and nurses on call if something comes up, and there's always someone to help if a repair or maintenance problem pops up because they promise a quick 24-hour maintenance response. Nursing home features, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and even podiatrist services are available, so people aren't left without care, and there's memory care, assisted living, rehabilitation, hospice care, respite care, care home options, and independent living all in one place. You'll find meals provided each day, plus on-site and off-site activities, beauty and barber services, devotional services, and they don't allow smoking indoors in private or public spaces.
The apartments feel roomy and have features like bath tubs and wheelchair accessible showers for convenience, while the building comes with community spaces, outdoor common areas, garden seating, and, for those who like to swim or exercise, there's a pool and a fitness center. Folks living here can use a community room to gather, and there's always something happening with regularly scheduled events and activities meant to help people stay active or meet neighbors, plus transportation and parking make it easier to get around to places like cafes, parks, doctors, and grocery stores, since many are nearby, as well as theaters, restaurants, hospitals, pharmacies, places of worship, and recreational areas.
Residents get to live in a place with a homelike atmosphere meant to help them stay independent and social, with amenities and services made for seniors. The maintenance-free lifestyle is a plus for those who don't want to worry about fixing things, and since pets are allowed, people don't have to leave their animal companions behind.
