Northeast Apartments sits in Scranton, Pennsylvania, with another location at 375 Main Street in Dickson City, for seniors who need different types of care or just a simple place to call home, and the whole place has been in business since at least August 2003, passing the Better Business Bureau's trust standards even though they don't hold accreditation. People can find plenty of choices here, from independent living and assisted living to memory care, home care, and even nursing home care, with many apartment styles like studios, single rooms, and two-bedroom units, all designed for those 62 and older or disabled folks, giving each resident an accessible place to live that's not fancy but practical and comfortable. Northeast Apartments allows cats and dogs in some units, though pets need to fit the 21-30 lb weight range, and there are policy rules about where they can go.
In the buildings, there are indoor and outdoor common areas, private smoking spaces inside, and places to walk outside on landscaped grounds, plus there's a community room and outdoor patio for folks to gather if they want to chat, do activities, or relax. You'll see they list things like a fitness center, salon and barbershop, game and activity rooms, and even onsite laundry, and the apartments themselves have useful features like bathtubs, wheelchair accessible showers, safety and handicap features, kitchens or kitchenettes, and washers and dryers available, all managed with 24-hour emergency maintenance and onsite management taking care of things like trash and snow removal. For getting around, the apartments provide complimentary transportation and resident parking, so groceries or errands don't have to be a hassle, and they run trips and outings so people who want to see more of the area can do that, too.
The staff offer assisted living and Alzheimer's care, along with personal care services and help from personal care assistants, plus there's respite care if someone needs help for a short time, and families often work with local senior living advisors who help them figure out which support is right. If you like to stay active, the community has full-time activity directors who plan social activities, arts and crafts, trips, devotional services onsite, education programs, and health and wellness choices, with meal services and long-term care insurance also part of what's available. There's a businesslike approach to amenities, like WiFi, cable TV, individual climate control, energy-saving appliances, sprinkler systems, maintenance, and cleaning, but things are kept straightforward and without extra fuss. Some rooms and community spaces allow folks to smoke privately, but this is limited to certain indoor areas.
Northeast Apartments lists its nearby sister communities by name, like Delaware Tower Apartments and Keystone Place Apartments, but all of them seem to follow the same idea of providing basic but decent housing and services for seniors in Scranton, without unnecessary add-ons. The main focus is giving older adults or those who need help a safe, managed place to live with what they truly need, whether that's care, social activity, or convenient services, and the staff are ready to point families toward the right setup for their situation, always using verified reviews and emphasizing clear information over sales pitches or hype.
