Best Senior Living Apartments in Philadelphia, PA for 2026

Who are you searching for?

A city built on a foundation of culture and history, Philadelphia is an optimal city for active seniors to thrive in retirement. There are a variety of senior apartments in Philadelphia to accommodate older adults looking to enjoy an independent lifestyle surrounded by their peers. Unlike assisted living communities, residents of senior apartments typically don’t require caregivers or help with activities of daily living (ADLs). Senior apartments are often confused with other senior living communities. However, senior living communities typically provide more amenities and services to their residents than senior apartments. Sometimes, senior apartments have common areas for socializing and access to add-on services tailored to seniors. But, mostly, you can expect senior apartments in Philadelphia to be similar to regular apartments, aside from the age requirement for residency and some accessibility features.

A Place for Mom partners with several senior apartment communities within a 10-mile radius of Philly’s bustling Center City district. From the active downtown area to the mellow suburban neighborhoods, Philadelphia senior apartments cater to a variety of lifestyles and budgets.

How people pay for senior apartments in Philadelphia

Paying for senior apartments ultimately works the same as conventional apartments, in that private funds are the sources of payments for rent and expenses, such as groceries and other household essentials. Some senior apartments may include certain utilities in the monthly rent, as well as other convenient add-on services like housekeeping. And some even organize social events or have concierge services. For seniors in need of care services, in-home care is a common add-on option for residents of senior apartments who don’t want to move to an assisted living community.

Private pay methods in Philadelphia

Private payment is commonly how people pay for senior apartments in Philadelphia. Long-term care insurance can’t be used to help pay for costs of living, like rent in a senior apartment, but it can help pay for some care services.

Many folks turn to retirement income accrued from Social Security benefits, savings from an IRA or 401k, and pensions. Fortunately, these resources can go a long way in the Keystone State, as Pennsylvania doesn’t tax retirement income for residents ages 59 and a half or older.^[02] Seniors and their families can also look into the following private pay options to help pay for senior apartments in Philadelphia:

Housing assistance for seniors in Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Housing Authority (also known as PHA) offers affordable housing for low-income residents through two programs:

Housing Choice Voucher Program for rental assistance
Public Housing rental properties

The waitlist for both programs is closed as of December 2022, but you can still submit an application to both programs on the Philadelphia Housing Authority website. It’s uncertain when these waitlists will open back up, so you may want to consider applying to other affordable housing resources in Philadelphia, such as Section 8 subsidized units through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). You can contact your local HUD office listed below for more information about its programs and the application process.

There are also plenty of community resources that can help provide nutritious meal services and utility assistance. For example, the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging has an emergency fund dedicated to helping low-income senior Philadelphians age 60+ cover costs of the following:

Home heating oil delivery
Groceries and household essentials
Utility payments and shutoff assistance
Medications or medical devices, such as hearing aids

Additionally, the Pennsylvania Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program can be used to reimburse the monthly rental costs of senior apartments for income-eligible residents over the age of 65. You can also locate and contact your local Social Security Administration office to learn about other rental assistance resources if needed.

VA benefits in Philadelphia

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers pensions and benefits to assist veterans and their spouses. VA pensions give eligible veterans supplementary income that’s paid on a monthly basis, which can be put towards the cost of rent and utilities. Eligible veterans can receive an additional amount of financial support on top of their pension with the Aid and Attendance benefit. As a plus, this particular VA benefit doesn’t require funds to be used exclusively for care services.

The Housebound benefit, on the other hand, is exclusively for in-home care services. In the event a veteran or surviving spouse is unable to leave their home because of a permanent disability, Housebound benefits can be paid in addition to VA pensions to help with the cost of home care services. It’s worth noting that veterans can’t receive both the Housebound allowance and the Aid and Attendance benefits at the same time, and they need to already be receiving VA pensions in order to qualify for either one.

You can find more information about those benefits for Philadelphia veterans in the resources below. New Jersey veterans can reach out to their local Joint Military and Family Assistance Center, which can help provide information about available benefits and entitlements.

Medicare and Medicaid programs

Pennsylvania’s Medicaid program, Medical Assistance (MA), and Medicare can’t be used to pay for the cost of senior apartments in Philadelphia. However, if a medical need arises for in-home care services, there are programs that can help provide those resources to someone living in a senior apartment community. Philadelphia programs like Living Independence for the Elderly (LIFE), part of the greater Medicare and Medicaid Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), can help seniors access care services in their home. These programs are available for seniors ages 55+ who meet income and medical care requirements. It provides access to health care and personal care services so seniors can remain living in their homes safely and independently.

Understand Philadelphia senior apartment laws and regulations

Owners of Philadelphia senior apartments are required to have a Commercial Activity License, also known as CAL, and a rental license to rent out a property long-term. All high-rise apartments need to have an additional license if there is a floor 75 feet or more above ground level.^[03] These licenses are issued through Philadelphia’s Department of Licenses and Inspections, which is also responsible for conducting housing inspections. Landlords are required to follow the minimum safety, maintenance, and health standards addressed in the Partners for Good Housing handbook:

Create and implement a bed bug control plan.
Ensure properties are lead-free with inspection reports to verify building is safe.
Make all necessary repairs to keep the building in good condition.
Conduct fair and uniform tenant screening that complies with the Renters’ Access Act.
Install all plumbing and heating equipment properly and maintain them.
Provide new tenants a copy of the Partners for Good Housing handbook and the building’s smoking policy.

Philadelphia senior apartments may have their own rules in force to determine who is eligible to live there. They typically have a minimum age requirement and some apartments may require income eligibility, if it’s a subsidized housing community.

Philadelphia’s Fair Housing Commission is in charge of making sure housing laws and the city’s Fair Housing Ordinance are followed. The Commission also provides access to information about rights and responsibilities for renters, ensures owners have proper licenses, and holds hearings on any property claimed to be in bad condition or unsafe. Renters can file complaints through the Fair Housing Commission intake form if they feel subject to unfair rental practices or hazardous living conditions.

Masking. Managers should promote mask usage in indoor common spaces.

Vaccines. Managers should encourage vaccinations among apartment staff and residents.

Staff safety. Apartment staff needs to isolate in accordance with the CDC guidelines if exposed or test positive for COVID-19.

Cleanliness. Management should increase cleaning and disinfection practices of common areas.
