Frequently Asked Questions What type of health care benefits would I receive if I lived at Pennswood Village? Lifetime health care is provided to each resident under the Life Care Contract by a team of two physicians, two geriatric nurse practitioners as well as nurses on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Covered referrals to specialists, transportation to all medical appointments and a prescription drug plan from the Pennswood pharmacy on campus are also included in the contract. A personal care and skilled nursing facility are connected to the community building, for both temporary recovery or long term needs. Back to Top Is there a waiting list? Yes. There is a waiting time for all apartments that varies according to the size of the apartment. The Marketing Department will be glad to discuss apartment wait times with you. Back to Top How do I get on the Preliminary Waiting List? Each individual completes an application in the brochure and pays the application fee of $1,200 for an individual or $1,900 for a couple. All but a $200 per person processing fee is applied to the Entry Fee when moving into Pennswood Village, or it is returned without interest if a move into the community is not completed. Back to Top What are the health requirements to become a resident? A person must be able to live safely and self-sufficiently in an apartment for a minimum period of time. Back to Top What do the entry fee and monthly fees cover? The Entry Fee is a one-time payment that guarantees future health care services at Pennswood Village. It is similar to a long term care insurance policy, by reducing the fee for health care in our assisted living or skilled care facilities to a low monthly rate rather than a high "per diem" rate. The monthly fee covers all apartment utilities (except telephone & cable modem service), weekly housekeeping and linen change, maintenance, as well as outpatient resident health services, and twenty-four hour emergency call system and more. Back to Top Are meals included in the monthly fee? The monthly fee quoted includes the option of three meals a day. Residents can choose one, two, three or no meals on a monthly basis. The monthly fee reflects the meal plan selected. Back to Top What does "Quaker Directed" mean? It means that sixty percent of our Corporate Board is comprised of people belonging to the Society of Friends, and that the Board makes decisions by consensus. Pennswood Village is not-for-profit and open to people of all faiths. It is guided by the Quaker philosophy of respect for each individual. Back to Top Your materials say that the Quakers believe in equality and recognize the dignity and worth of every person and to value all the diverse qualities that each contributes to the community. How is this put into practice? Pennswood Village is committed to attract diverse applicants, residents, Pennswood Village Board of Directors members and staff. We welcome inclusiveness and celebrate the presence of many faiths, ethnic groups, cultures and races. The community has an active marketing program to attract diverse applicants and residents. The Board has reached out in its own recruitment process to appoint people of color to its membership. Our staff brings a wealth of racial and cultural backgrounds and serves the organization in managerial and service responsibilities. Please feel free to discuss this with anyone in the Marketing Department. Back to Top Does Pennswood Village have entry fee assistance? In 2000, the residents of Pennswood Village initiated the endowment for a partial entry fee assistance fund that is totally supported by their generosity. The fund is intended to assist applicants who have the annual income to live in our community but could use some extra assistance with the capital to finance the entry fee. Please discuss this with the Marketing Department when you come for a visit. Back to Top Are pets allowed? Yes. Residents are allowed to bring their dogs, cats, birds, and fish. Back to Top |
