Motivations Inc operates as a nonprofit residential care home at 2105 West Tioga Street in Philadelphia and has a collection of care homes with names like Chelten Christian Crusade, Haskins House Personal Care Home, Clarke Personal Care Home, Hines Personal Care Boarding Home, and New Manor Personal Care Boarding Home, and you'll also hear about places like Atria Center City, Arbor Terrace Willistown, Atria Lafayette Hill, and The Residence at Bala Cynwyd, though each has its own setup, and Motivations Inc itself is known for helping older adults, especially those with mental health needs or memory issues. The facility has a history of providing a variety of care like independent living, assisted living, memory care, Alzheimer's care, hospice care, home care with meal support, and adult day care, and features services such as medication management, help with bathing, dressing, transfers, and companionship-offering help for folks who need reminders and assistance with daily living, and they also have 24-hour supervision and a call system for emergencies. There's diabetic and incontinence care, healthcare for non-ambulatory residents, rehabilitation and wound care, regular visits from nurses, dentists, speech and occupational therapists, health monitoring, and medical supplies and equipment, including transportation services when needed, plus staff watch for wandering and disorientation using high-tech wander guards to keep residents safe.
The community runs in a residential home setting, gives options for semi-private and private rooms, studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units, many fully furnished with kitchenettes, and offers shared spaces like dining rooms, garden areas, lounges, a small library, and beauty salon, and folks join activities on-site and off-site, including fitness and wellness programs, devotional activities, and opportunities for residents to help run activities themselves to keep the mind and body busy. Meals are served daily with specialized options for dietary needs such as kosher, vegetarian, and cultural preferences, and there's housekeeping, linen services, move-in help, and free transportation, plus language support in Chinese, French, and Spanish, and pet-friendly policies for those who wish.
Motivations Inc manages board and care homes that are small in size, set in regular neighborhoods, and suited for people needing live-in caregivers, where residents live with a small group and receive social and medical support, and care staff help with confusion, wandering, and memory loss for those with Alzheimer's or dementia. The facility runs as a continuing care retirement community, so older adults can age in place as their needs change, from independent living to skilled nursing, with full medical support and rehabilitation. There's also short-term respite care, and support for families who need temporary help with their loved one.
Motivations Inc was known for caring for persons with chronic mental illness and partnered with organizations in memory of Charles Andre' Johnson, and staff from Motivations Education and Consultation Associates Inc operated the home, but inspections from state regulators found health and safety issues, such as unsanitary conditions, bedbug infestations, missed medications, and inoperable toilets and showers, which led to a voluntary closure process required by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, so the community stopped operating as a result.
