Schmid Towers, located at 153 East 6th Street in Erie, Pennsylvania, offers several types of senior living, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, and it's home to both Schmid Towers and Friendship Apartments, which are both apartment buildings designed for seniors. Residents can choose from different studio apartment layouts, and the buildings feature plenty of indoor common areas for socializing or relaxing, along with communal spaces and a fitness center that helps people stay active without having to leave the building. The property supports seniors aged 55 and up, including those who may need extra help with daily activities, like moving between beds and wheelchairs, monitoring diabetes or insulin levels, or managing other medical needs, and the staff is around 24 hours a day to help with emergencies.
Schmid Towers is part of the HomePLUS program, and it's especially focused on supporting low-income seniors through services like on-site medical case management by LECOM/LifeWorks, assistance with risk reduction and housing stability, and assessment and aging services, which all help residents stay as independent as possible. Seniors have access to meals provided on-site, so there's less need to cook, and the building has a modern design with lots of natural light in the living areas, along with thoughtful floor plans that match different needs. Maintenance is handled by a superintendent, and the manager for Schmid Towers is Elizabeth Twohig.
Residents can spend time in nearby parks or walk to several local restaurants, pharmacies, and health care providers, which include 43 physicians and 13 hospitals in the area. The property lies close to a bus station, making it easier to get around town, and several nearby places of worship and devotional activities happen off-site for those who want them. Schmid Towers is managed under HACE as a public housing community, so it includes the typical services for safety, tenant management, and resident support, and it offers amenities and services that fit the wide range of needs seniors may have, with programs aimed at encouraging social activity, fitness, and healthy habits. The property doesn't list home listing status, details about utilities, or parking information. The focus remains on offering a safe, stable place for low-income seniors, with help available for both health care and daily living needs.
