Mulberry Towers

Mulberry Towers sits right in the heart of Downtown Scranton at 499 Mulberry Street, and folks know the place for blending modern building style with views looking out over the city, so you get a bit of a city feeling along with your senior living, and even though the building went up back in 1980, you can see they've kept it updated, both inside the 205 units and around the hallways, and you get one-bedroom or efficiency apartments that are smoke-free and have been made for folks aged 62 and up to have an easier, maintenance-free life. The building's big, over 102,000 square feet, and because people talk about how the staff stay cheerful, helpful, and kind, there's a strong sense of welcome any time you walk through the door. Mulberry Towers gets awards for the things they do to engage the residents, not just in physical activities, but also keeping the mind and spirit involved, with group games and planned events happening throughout the year, and the chef-prepared meals get special attention because there are meal planners who look after nutrition, so you don't have to worry about what's for dinner. You've got a rooftop terrace where folks like to gather, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and it's easy to get around by walking since the building scores high for walkability, and if you like to ride a bike, that's also pretty good here. Some rooms are carefully designed for function and comfort, which helps people keep their independence, and there's usually social or recreational things to do almost every day, from community gatherings to smaller group get-togethers. Mulberry Towers offers some level of senior care along with assisted living services-though exact types aren't spelled out-but the community has earned respect for its approach to caring and supporting the folks who live there. You've got schools nearby, and with the location being central, shops and parks are never too far away, so it's handy for running errands or just strolling outside. The building's owned by Amos Lodge of B'nai B'rith Housing Foundation, Inc., and managed by HBS Management Company, and the staff at Mulberry Towers also help keep the property clean, safe, and in good shape, so you get that peace of mind. While specific details on every feature or service aren't always given, you can count on a supportive setting with comfort, security, and a focus on community living for independent and active seniors.
