Pennswood Village

At Pennswood Village, our meadow and surrounding grounds are alive with color—and purpose 🌼🦋. Grey-headed coneflowers bloom across the landscape, attracting monarch butterflies as they pause to sip nectar on their long migration journey.

These native wildflowers are more than beautiful—they support pollinators like monarchs, bees, and other butterflies that keep our ecosystem thriving 🌱🐝.

By nurturing a meadow filled with native plants, we’re creating a sanctuary where pollinators flourish, residents enjoy the beauty of nature, and the community benefits from a healthier, more vibrant environment.

Every monarch on a coneflower is a reminder that when we care for the land, it gives back in abundance 🌍💛.

This past week, our talented culinary team in 1382 created a lineup of vegetarian offerings that were just as beautiful as they were delicious.

From vibrant starters like Golden Beet Carpaccio, Red Beet Babaganoush with roasted chickpeas and lavash chips, and an Heirloom Tomato & Burrata Platter, to heartier mains such as Eggplant Parmigiana with zoodles, Grilled Portobello Wellington, and a light yet flavorful Crispy Tofu & Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai 🍴 — the menu celebrated freshness at every turn.

Seasonal highlights included Summer Corn & Farro Risotto, Jumbo Asparagus, Blood Orange–glazed Carrots, and Broccoli finished with a truffle walnut butter. And of course, no meal would be complete without dessert — guests indulged in Red Velvet Tower, Key Lime Cheesecake, Chocolate Raspberry Torte, and a refreshing Fresh Fruit Mélange 🍰.

A true showcase of creativity and flavor, proving that vegetarian dining can be both comforting and exciting. 🌿

A spoonful of sugar and a whole lot of talent made for the perfect two nights at Pennswood Village! Our residents and their families were delighted by a magical performance of Mary Poppins from the incredible dancers of Stepping Stone Dance Studio located in Bristol, PA. ✨☂️

They performed two nights in a row to a packed house, filling Penn Hall with music, laughter, and plenty of applause. From the costumes to the choreography, the show was practically perfect in every way. 👏💕

We love partnering with Stepping Stone and are so grateful to their dedicated staff and performers for sharing their energy and artistry with our community. These evenings reminded us just how special it is to come together through the arts, family, and joy. ❤️

Talk about shell-ebration worthy! Our Bistro treated residents to the classic French favorite — Lobster Thermidor. Creamy, decadent, and perfectly baked, it was as beautiful to look at as it was to enjoy. 🦞✨

Fine dining meets community dining — and every bite was pure delight!

Karaoke Night in the Bistro was a hit! Residents sang their favorite tunes, cheered each other on, and filled the room with laughter and music. From golden oldies to modern classics, the energy was contagious and the community spirit was on full display. 🎤✨

Even Chef Ed lent his pipes for a song or two—proving our community is full of hidden talent both in and out of the kitchen!

Nights like these remind us that joy, music, and friendship never go out of style! 🎶❤️

Our residents enjoyed an elegant evening out at Ginger Restaurant in Philadelphia! 🍷✨ Known for blending French avant-garde cuisine with modern culinary artistry, Ginger offers an experience that is as beautiful to look at as it is to taste.

The chefs here are passionate about reimagining traditional French dishes with a creative twist—using modern techniques and the freshest locally sourced ingredients. Each plate is thoughtfully designed to delight both the eyes and the palate.

Dining at Ginger is more than a meal—it’s a celebration of flavor, creativity, and culture. An unforgettable evening of good company and extraordinary cuisine!

Our residents had a wonderful day at the Philadelphia Museum of Art exploring Boom: Art & Design in the 1940s! 🎨✨ With over 250 works—including paintings, sculptures, fashion, photography, and design pieces—this exhibit is a vibrant snapshot of a transformative decade. Nearly half of the pieces are being shown to the public for the very first time!

And thanks to a friendly side wager… 🦅 The Eagles’ victory means the Philadelphia Museum of Art scored big too! Instead of sending a piece of art to Kansas City’s Nelson-Atkins Museum like last year, Philly gets to showcase their Manet masterpiece, The Croquet Party. A true highlight of the visit, this playful painting brings a different kind of competition to life—proof that we can “hit ’em low and hit ’em high.”

What a day of culture, history, and hometown pride!

What a night at Citizens Bank Park! ⚾

Our residents had a fantastic time cheering on the Philadelphia Phillies yesterday, enjoying the summer weather, ballpark treats, and—of course—the thrill of the game. Whether it’s a home run or just spending time together, it’s all about community and creating memories.
