We at Pepco are taking many steps to improve the reliability of our electric system such as removing tree limbs that can damage power lines.

“ When I moved to Country Meadows, I left home responsibility behind. Here, everything is taken care of for you and your worries are gone.” ~ Jeanne Wood Country Meadows resident since 2008

Life gets better. ®

Jeanne brought her memories with her to Country Meadows and left homeowner worries behind. Now Jeanne feels spoiled by people serving her dinner, cleaning her apartment, even planning a full social calendar. It gives her the gift of time to do the things she loves most.
