The SEPTA Route 130 stops directly in front of our community. It runs on an hourly basis from Bucks County Community College through one of the Newtown shopping centers to St. Mary Medical Center and then onto Neshaminy Mall and ending at Franklin Mills Mall. Residents may use Bucks County Transport for personal visits to doctors, stores, banks, etc. Gloria Dei Plaza also has a 14-passenger bus which provides general runs to local stores, restaurants, places of worship, etc.

Yes, we do provide reserved parking spaces for residents with cars. Each household will be assigned a parking spot that they will be able to utilize close to their building. We want our residents to have the option to drive to the grocery store, pick up supplies, get a meal, etc. It’s why we offer parking!

Yes, residents in our community are allowed to have pets provided they comply with the House Pet Rules. These rules are mandated and approved by HUD. However, if you or your partner happens to have a disability such as loss of vision, there are no restrictions on assistive animals such as seeing eye dogs or anything similar to that situation.

The Plaza’s fire system was extensively renovated and updated in the past two years and improvements continue to be made all the time. There is a sprinkler system throughout the hallways and public areas, and fire safety walls between each unit. Every apartment has at least one smoke detector as well as an extension “horn” for the main building alarm so the occupants will always be alerted to a fire emergency even if they are asleep with their bedroom door closed.

All entry doors are kept locked at all times and residents may enter the building using key “fobs” which operate various doors. Visitors must contact the residents they are coming to see or the Office staff to gain admission via a phone system. Residents are instructed never to admit anyone that is not visiting them.

We have two apartments set aside for Resident Night Managers to reside in. The Night Mangers take it in turn to be on duty whenever the Office is closed on nights, weekends, holidays, etc. so that if there is any kind of problem, whether a health or a building problem, a member of staff will always be available to summon professional help.

No, we have no food or medical services at our community. Residents are expected to make their own arrangements for their daily living, and so many have aides to assist them or have Meals On Wheels or other prepared meals delivered on a daily basis. Many also get regular assistance with cleaning, and personal care. These services can be arranged by the residents and/or their families through local agencies. Gloria Dei Communities employs a Resident Coordinator who is a registered nurse and visits each of the Gloria Dei Communities on a weekly basis to meet with residents to discuss any personal/health issues and advise them where to get any additional assistance or medical treatment so that they can maintain safe and active lives in their own apartments. The Resident Coordinator also organizes informational seminars and visits from other health care professionals to administer general procedures such as mammographies and flu shots annually.
