Pennsfield Senior Apartments

Things are going very good for my friend since moving in here. Her apartment is huge, she has a kitchen to cook her own meals in. They have housekeeping about once a week to help her out. They also have a game room where residents can go in and play cards or hang out.

It’s a shame... what could have been a great place was maintained so poorly... to the point of repairs that are much more costly to afford and now requires annual rent increases beyond affordability for fixed income seniors *shingles and stucco falling off building *dated faulty heating cooling units *drafty sliding doors from moisture rot *many doorways and doors wedge and drag *moldy mossy insect infested wood on back units *leaky faucets and toilets *inefficient dryer venting *facility is not up to all safety codes *sidewalks are uneven and unsafe for walkers and wheelchairs with loose stone chips that can cause falls *hallway walls and carpets are old, stained and not vacuumed/shampooed often enough. *entryway doors are heavy and in disrepair. NOT AT ALL handicapped accessible *drop off area at entrance sidewalk and curbing is dangerous *three handicapped parking spaces for an entire 70 unit senior facility *parking lines and one-way arrows so faded that most don’t see them *VERY unsafe entrance/exit due from blind curve and speeding cars *Unqualified low bid workers were hired that were completely ignorant of safety codes and handicap accessibility needs. Their workmanship is embarrassingly shotty. *Resident requests and complaints get promises, followed by excuses and neglect. *Some good notes... I’ve experienced an awesome response from nursing staff from The Manor at Penn Village during a fire at the apartments. *They’ve also responded quickly to residents calling for help from the pull cords provided in each room. *Weis’ Market is directly located across the road but the only semi-safe crosswalk is located so far away, it is not at all convenient to a senior.
