Overview of The York House

The York House is an independent living community in Philadelphia for adults age 55 and older. Independent living here offers private apartment living with community services rather than daily personal care, making it a potential fit for an older adult who wants a private home and organized activities without daily assistance.

Residents can choose a studio or a one bedroom apartment, with a studio providing one private living space. Pets are allowed, so residents may keep a pet in their apartment. A fitness center and exercise classes support physical activity without leaving the community.

The craft room, library, event center and lecture hall give residents places for hobbies, reading and organized gatherings. Activities include chair yoga, line dancing, crafting sessions, cooking club, karaoke nights, jazz nights and monthly casino trips. The area has a Walk Score of 81, placing it in the very walkable category, so most errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
