The Hearth at Drexel sits in Bala-Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, in a beautiful and modern colonial-style home built around a landmark historic mansion, and it's been known for quality senior care for over 100 years as part of Liberty Lutheran and the Mary J Drexel Home. The community has 85 beds and offers many care options, including independent living, assisted living, memory care for Alzheimer's and other dementia, respite care, and nursing home services, so seniors can age in place as their needs change without having to move away from familiar settings. Residents can choose private, personally-decorated studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments that feel homelike, with accessible features, high-speed Wi-Fi, and modern comforts while still giving privacy and respect for lifestyle choices, which matters a lot to folks who want to keep their independence.
The staff provides 24-hour help with daily tasks, medication management, bathing, and dressing, and they're trained to deliver personalized care so everyone gets what they need without losing their sense of freedom. Memory care residents live in a secure part of the community designed to help ease confusion and prevent wandering, and they can use individualized care plans, cognitive activities, and daily programs meant to keep their minds active and promote well-being. The Hearth at Drexel has fitness centers and social spaces, both indoor and outdoor common areas, a beauty salon onsite, and a strong focus on nutritious meals with vegetarian options, all served in a comfortable dining room. Residents can join structured programs including breakfast, games, wellness activities, and social opportunities, with events both onsite and offsite, plus devotional services for those who want them, and there's always a chance to build friendships in a relaxed, family-like atmosphere.
People here enjoy a calm setting where help is close by but life still feels normal, and the team offers three levels of assistance within a unique "household" style of living that makes the community feel smaller and more familiar, even though there are many services. The large setting lets residents benefit from a variety of amenities, but the household approach and focus on highly personalized care with sophisticated touches set The Hearth at Drexel apart from many other places. With a long reputation for quality, an average rating of 8 out of 10, and a strong connection to local history, this place continues to offer seniors a safe, comfortable home as their needs change over time.
