 “The best kept
secret of Pennswood
is that it is not

When Marj and Ken moved to Pennswood in 2007 they say they met a lot of “nice folks” who are intellectually and physically active. “I have more friends here at this stage of my life than ever,” says Marj. In addition to forming friendships, the couple added new activities to their routine -- yoga, Tai Chi and swimming. In fact, Ken learned to swim at Pennswood and now loves water volleyball. Avid outdoor enthusiasts, the couple frequently travels in their RV. Living at Pennswood allows them to leave for extended times without worrying about their home.
