St . John Community Opens New Apartments : ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
With the completion of St . John Community initiative , middleincome seniors now have an affordable , all-inclusive opportunity to live in a continuing care retirement community with all the amenities of home .
“ It felt like home to me ,” said Mary Ackerman , who recently moved into The Residence at St . John from another community to be closer to her children and 11 grandchildren .
It has been a little more than a year since the first shovel broke ground to expand residential and personal care living options at the St . John Community . The project includes a new and modern personal care neighborhood — Edgewood Grove — built on a foundation of quality care . It also created 27 new residential living apartments — The Residence at St . John .
The Residence at St . John offers one-bedroom , independent living apartments equipped with a wellappointed kitchen , laundry , walk-in showers , and ample closet and storage

spaces . Other amenities include a library , lounges , fitness room and chef-prepared meals for those who choose to dine in . The Residence at St . John is located in the quaint borough of Mars , with easy access to places of worship , shopping , restaurants , banks , pharmacies and more .
“ I ’ m starting a new phase in my life ,” said Ackerman . “ I don ’ t have to do housekeeping ; there is no cooking , no food shopping . It ’ s great !”
The absence of housing for middleincome seniors prompted Lutheran SeniorLife to launch a new growth initiative . “ As a result of the initiative , we successfully expanded our existing housing opportunities for those seeking residential living and personal care options ,” said David Fenoglietto , president and CEO of Lutheran SeniorLife . “ Our new apartments and supportive programs fill an unmet need in our community .”
One of the first residents to move into Edgewood Grove , personal care is 90-year-old , Alice Vogel , the grandmother of Samantha Rapuk , executive director of the St . John Community . “ It ’ s a real blessing to have my grandma so close to me ,” explained Rapuk . “ We have such a close bond and I know she is being cared for by the best team .”
The St . John Community is a continuing care community , and includes The Residence at St . John and Overbrook Pointe , residential living , Edgewood Grove , personal care , RoseCrest , assisted living with memory care , and St . John Specialty Care , skilled nursing .
