The Cottages at Germantown Senior Community sits on Germantown Avenue in Philadelphia and offers housing units for people aged 55 and up, mixing options for those who want to live on their own with support services for people who need daily help, and those places are all part of a bigger network run by NewCourtland, which manages hundreds of housing units and senior programs, so the sense of community is strong whether you're looking for an apartment, need help with daily tasks, or require specialized long-term care like memory support, rehab, or respite care. The space includes care homes and a dedicated Memory Care community where staff focus on folks with memory problems and work with people who have disabilities or diseases that make getting through the day tougher, and they offer care tailored to each resident, keeping safety and comfort as priorities with things like accessible apartments, elevators, ramps, and senior-friendly parking, making the buildings easy to get around.
There's a gym and rehabilitation area that folks use for both long- and short-term recovery, and staff in the rehab department get good marks for being attentive to unique needs, and there are also health services including care for diabetes, incontinence, and residents who have trouble walking, with a range of medical staff on hand. At The Cottages, people find a no-frills environment that focuses on practical living, but you'll still notice modern touches, comfortable spaces, and community features like social events and on-site services to encourage neighbors to mingle, eat together, or join a devotional activity. There are meal plans-meals get good reviews for taste and quality-and the staff, who many describe as kind and caring, help make daily life smoother for seniors who want independence but might need a bit of a hand sometimes.
With support from Marquis Health Services plus Allure Lifestyle Communities, and as part of The Social Care Network, the Cottages connects residents and families to programs, resources, and community management tools, including online profiles, resource links, informational guides on Medicare, and support from live senior living counselors who can talk through the costs and help with the move from home to community living. They've got 2-bedroom apartments available and, though there's no flashy extras or luxury features, the grounds look modern and the homes focus on being safe and easy to live in. Beyond just apartments, residents use a mix of independent living, assisted living, and memory care options so folks can pick what best suits their needs-sometimes transitioning to other care levels as time goes on-while taking part in activities both on and off campus, and even getting free consultations to explore care choices or get help with moves, which is something that many families appreciate when figuring out aging and care options for loved ones.
