United House Apartments is a senior apartment complex at 501 Pine Street in Scranton, Pennsylvania, right in the historic Hill Section, and has 90 units with a total size of 46,956 square feet, offering both one-bedroom and two-bedroom/one bath options, and you'll find a mix of studio, semi-private, and two-bedroom rooms, which makes it easier for seniors or people with mobility disabilities to find a living space that works for them. Managed by HBS Management Company, and established as a nonprofit in 1976, the property was built in 1978 and offers subsidized and non-subsidized rent options, which helps many different people find affordable housing and even folks with Social Security, veteran's benefits, or private insurance can use those as payment, with separate pricing options for care.
The place encourages people to mingle, whether by playing games, chatting in the common indoor areas, taking part in devotional or holiday activities, joining social and movement events, or joining meal programs where staff serves one to two nutritious meals each day right on-site, which makes life a little simpler since you don't have to worry about cooking all the time, and it can help keep costs down, too. If you need laundry, housekeeping, or help with day-to-day things like getting dressed or bathing, there's staff and services to help out, and the team is trained to help with moving from bed to a wheelchair and there are staff on-site 24 hours a day for emergencies. Healthcare services include help with diabetes care, insulin management, non-ambulatory needs, general health needs, and incontinence care, making the place suitable for people who need a bit of health support but want to keep as much independence as possible. Residents can join in both on-site and offsite activities, with programs that help people stay active and engaged, while also offering quiet spaces for visiting with friends or family. The apartments are designed to be accessible, with 85 specially fitted for seniors or anyone with mobility disabilities, and the maintenance-free setup means residents don't have to worry as much about day-to-day repairs. Reports show information about the place's ownership, property management, rental rates, loan history, and occupancy over time if you want to look into it further, but from a living perspective, United House Apartments gives a stable and supportive place for seniors in Scranton looking for either independence or a bit of help.
