Keystone Place Apartments

Keystone Place Apartments sits at 101 Smallacombe Drive in the West Mountain area of Scranton, PA, and offers senior apartments for people who are 62 or older or who have a disability, with some units open if people are looking and others already rented, and the apartments come in one-bedroom, one-bathroom floor plans at about 530 square feet, with rents like $1,451 or $1,302 depending on the specific unit, such as S205 or D205. The apartments are managed by Preservation Management, Inc., and the property follows several government programs such as HUD Section 8, Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits, and Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency Tax-Exempt Revenue Bonds, which means folks need to meet certain income limits set by HUD to qualify, and some of the units work for subsidized senior housing needs while others are standard senior apartments. Residents can use the elevator, enjoy climate control in their units, and take advantage of Energy Star appliances and a full kitchen, with shared laundry facilities on-site, and snow and trash removal included in the rent to keep things tidy. People who live here have indoor and outdoor common areas, beautifully landscaped grounds, and a patio where they can sit outside, plus there are onsite parking spots for those who drive, public transportation at the front door for those who need it, and complimentary transportation available for residents, which is convenient if people can no longer drive or just don't want to bother with it. The building's accessible, with wheelchair showers and other safety features built in for ease of use, and staff on site are trained and available if residents need help, though there isn't a special focus on any unique care types outside of standard senior housing, and the place offers medication management as one of the basic healthcare services. A community room's open for group activities, and organized social and educational programs run regularly so people don't have to worry about being bored or lonely, and residents are encouraged to decorate their apartments with their own furniture to make it feel like home. The grounds are kept up nicely, and there are secured entry and 24-hour emergency maintenance services for peace of mind, with some focus on making life easy and keeping people active. Pets aren't allowed, except with strict weight limits for cats and dogs, but actual policy might only allow them based on certain restrictions. Amenities include baths and tubs, on-site laundry, off-street parking, and rooms and bathrooms designed for accessibility, and the building separates itself a bit through things like on-site management, snow removal, and a steady schedule of group activities to help residents feel connected, though details about more complex care services aren't clear from available information. Residents who qualify get to live in well-designed apartments, and can enjoy simple comforts, social activities, services aimed at keeping them healthy, and a friendly, safe community atmosphere, all managed by Preservation Management, Inc.
