Description

Join an organization that has been providing high-quality, affordable housing options for older adults for more than 30 years.

SeniorCare Network (SCN) is an award-winning property management affiliate of Presbyterian SeniorCare Network that owns and/or manages more than 30 apartment communities across western Pennsylvania. These are beautiful, independent living communities where residents meet age and income guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

Everyone at SeniorCare Network shares these common goals: To provide our residents with a place that is safe, comfortable, and clean, and to do whatever we can to help our residents live their best lives. For example, our apartment communities were some of the first to add service coordination to connect residents with community resources. They were also some of the first in the region to offer primary care services to residents through a healthcare partner.
