St John Community in Mars, Pennsylvania, operates as a continuing care retirement community with a primary focus on Independent Living. Residents, including those under 60, have access to routine medical oversight but should note that the community does not provide specialized dementia support. A podiatrist visits on-site, and a dedicated therapy room enables scheduled rehabilitative sessions, allowing residents to address mobility or post-surgical needs without leaving campus.

Care delivery is supported by 24-hour staff who have completed background checks, and an Activity Director coordinates daily programming. The team can cue or assist with bathing, dressing, toileting, and eating when a resident’s self-care routine needs a modest boost. Transfers by walker or wheelchair are accommodated, and building security personnel remain on duty around the clock to respond to any urgent situation.

Apartments vary in size and layout; not every unit contains every feature, but options can include a private bathroom, a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the opportunity to paint or decorate the space. Weekly housekeeping is standard and extends to Independent Living residences, so residents can spend more time on preferred activities rather than chores.

Dining follows an on-order approach, allowing residents to select meals at the time of service, and snacks are available between scheduled meals. The culinary team works with individuals who have dietary requests, striving to keep selections balanced and accessible for those who may choose to cook occasionally in their kitchenette.

Common-area amenities include wheelchair-accessible entrances and pathways, a barber and beauty shop, high-speed internet access, and regularly scheduled on-site religious services. Concierge support helps with reservations, deliveries, and general questions, while community transportation assists residents who prefer not to drive.
