Geneva House sits in Scranton, PA, and provides affordable senior apartments for people age 62 and older, and when you walk in, you see right away the front porch has comfortable seating, the sunroom has a little kitchenette, and you spot common laundry areas that make things easy for everyone, and the lounge is a popular spot to relax or chat with friends, and there's a computer room where volunteers help folks learn computer skills or how to use the internet, and the building has elevators for easy access to well-equipped efficiency and one-bedroom apartments that are designed to be safe, accessible, and comfortable so seniors can live without worry. A Supportive Services Coordinator is on-site to help residents with things like applying for food assistance, getting help with prescriptions, and other forms and programs, and the staff are known for being friendly and helpful, always ready to give a hand or make newcomers feel welcome, plus they work hard to make everyone feel valued, and activities are planned throughout the week-some musical, some social, some educational, and others just meant to celebrate special occasions like Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, and St. Patrick's Day.
Residents enjoy nutritious meals, with most dinners starting around 5 pm, and maintenance is taken care of, so people don't have to worry about yard work or fixing things, and there are structured activities that help people connect, stay active, and maybe make a friend or two along the way, with support for those who might need memory care or other extra care, so seniors can live as independently as possible, but helpers are nearby if needed. Geneva House does its best to create a community where people can live well, feel safe, and experience the comforts of home, surrounded by others in the same stage of life, and with staff and volunteers who care about making life a little easier. The apartments and common spaces are designed for seniors and are friendly for people with disabilities, and there's an equal opportunity housing policy, plus membership with the Presbyterian Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, which supports older adults in different ways. Managed by Lynd Management Company since 2016, Geneva House focuses on offering senior living options, independent lifestyles, accessible amenities, and help with things like meals, activities, group buying programs, and guides for aging and health, so everyone has a chance to thrive.
