THE LATEST IN 62+ LIVING FROM OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM.
When you step into the courtyard at The Philadelphia Protestant Home (PPH), it’s like being transported to a quaint village. While cosmopolitan amenities of the city lay just outside these walls, inside there is a peaceful, easy feeling of comfort and community. Just like a village square, everything is centrally located inside PPH with convenient access to a bank, doctor’s office, five dining venues, and state-of-the-art fitness center, complete with swimming pool. There’s even a mini-mart.
While you’ll find plenty to do, we’ve also mastered the art of not-doing. All around you’ll find an inviting Zen-like floral oasis with scenic walking paths that wind past lush landscaping, mature trees, a koi pond, a gazebo and dining patios where you can get equal parts sun and shade for quiet pursuits like reading and chatting with friends.
