Community Reviews
A Wonderful Non-Profit Assisted Living Facility!
reviewed on: 09/15/2016 by Melissa S.This was an incredible place. During the tour the staff interacted with the residents, and everyone on staff seemed truly happy. The residents seem happy too! I moved mom there three weeks ago and she likes it. She keeps thanking me for finding it! A non-profit is totally the way to go if you want affordablity and excellence combined. We highly recommend this home.
Penn Home review
reviewed on: 10/01/2020 by Paul VettrainoPenn Home is an older community but its very good and the people there were very nice, and it was kept pretty clean. The care services were good, however the food was average. There wasn't a huge variety of food to chose from, but they did have a couple of different dishes. The rooms were older and dated, but everything worked and was clean. They had bathrooms and showers in every room.

Great value
reviewed on: 01/16/2016 by AnonymousI am a huge fan of the great overall value we got for the money for care for our family members. I feel like it was reasonable and safe at the same time.
A homey comfortable place for mom
reviewed on: 11/11/2015 by RoseThis home is located in my mom's neighborhood and its interior is very similar to the interior of her house, making for a familiar transition. The care is all inclusive so there are no extra fees. I visited frequently for her first week in the home and found truly personal care for my mom. A bonus was that she knew 4 residents at the home. I am very pleased with the choice of Penn Home.
