INDEPENDENT LIVING REMINDERS 2026
Important reminders when it comes to campus snow removal and cold temperatures:
1) The roads and parking lots around the Manor are the first priority in snowy weather. This is in case of an emergency where we would have to evacuate Manor residents.
2) When we receive a constant snowfall or receive over a foot of snow that is typical in these parts, our crews can’t possibly keep up with it. Please be patient.
3) If it dips below ten degrees, our shoveling crew will only be out for short periods of time.
4) It seems Mother Nature always dumps on us over the weekend. After roads, we will do everyone’s driveway so you are able to get out. The sidewalks are last priority and will only be cleared as time permits. If there is a car in the driveway, we are unable to plow it.
5) If you have an early morning medical appointment and a major snowstorm is expected overnight, please call our Community Affairs at 814.262.2150 so they can make your driveway a priority. 24 hour notice is required.
6) If your heat is out due to a power outage, please contact us and we will transport you to the Manor Community Room. The Manor has an emergency generator and should always have heat. You should report your outage directly to Penelec: 1-888-544-4877
7) The storage units and flea market are not serviced during the winter months.
In weather emergencies, please contact:
Community Affairs: 814.262.2150 Please leave a message- voicemails are monitored remotely even when the office is closed.
Maintenance: 814.262.2161
Our primary form of communication during weather emergencies are robocall updates- if possible, please have a cell phone number on the robocall system as landlines will not receive the calls during power outages.
Be Safe!
