Roxborough Home for Women sits in a quiet neighborhood as a nonprofit senior living community that's been around since 1887, always focused on caring for women ages 55 and older in a warm and supportive place where residents feel like family and nobody gets left alone or forgotten, which means the staff treats everyone with respect, kindness, and empathy, making sure every woman keeps her dignity and her independence but always has help available when needed since the staff is there 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and they're trained to handle emergencies, personal care tasks like mobility assistance, medication reminders, continence care, bathing, dressing, toileting, transferring, feeding, and ambulation, plus they'll help carry out homemaking duties like dusting, vacuuming, laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, errands, ironing, and handling linens, so everyone can have more energy for the things that matter every day. Residents can choose from several comfortable living options such as studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or semi-private rooms, and the rooms are private if that's what somebody wants, so there's a sense of both privacy and community, because common spaces indoors and porches both inside and outside encourage women to come together, talk, play games, and have a cup of tea, while the garden space gives another relaxing spot to sit outside or do light gardening.
Every day, residents get nutritious meals served in a dining area, which means there's no need to worry about cooking, and the staff handles laundry and light housekeeping to keep things tidy, since attention to detail and cleanliness has always had high marks at Roxborough Home for Women, though they never lose sight of that comfortable, homey feeling. A full calendar of daily activities gets everyone involved, such as arts and crafts, gentle exercise classes, educational workshops, game nights, group outings, and plenty of special events around the holidays, all set up so residents can stay active and keep their minds sharp, plus there's transportation for doctor visits and other appointments, which helps women keep up with their health needs without extra fuss or worry. Some unique things include having a beautician on the grounds, common indoor areas for relaxing or socializing, and complimentary transportation to medical appointments, all designed so women here can stay as independent as possible while still having support.
Roxborough Home for Women also offers personalized care plans that get reviewed regularly, so each woman's needs, whether that's extra help with daily living or assistance managing things like insulin for diabetes, always get met as those needs change over time. There's a focus on emotional support too, with staff making time for friendly chats, group activities, and making sure nobody slips through the cracks, which matters when you want to stay connected but don't want to feel crowded. There's access to offsite devotional services for those who want, and the facility offers a range of payment options including private pay, veteran's benefits, social security, and private insurance, though different fees may apply based on your care needs or room choice, like community, respite, and buy-in fees, so it's best to ask about those directly. Roxborough Home for Women mainly supports women who can move around on their own and don't need full nursing care, so it's a good choice for those who want independence with a bit of extra help, a structured day, good company, and a real sense of belonging that's been passed down through generations. The facility is open for tours by appointment if you're looking to see how things actually look and feel before making a decision.
