Springfield Senior Living Community sits on 11 quiet, wooded acres on the northern edge of Philadelphia, right across from a rehabilitation hospital, so folks living there have easy access to health services alongside local shops and restaurants. There are 103 apartments in the community, with a choice of studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, and semi-private options, and most apartments have things like kitchenettes, private bathrooms, spacious closets, and hardwood or carpet floors, with individually controlled heating and air conditioning, plus TV, cable, WiFi, and safety features like smoke detectors, sprinklers, and emergency call systems, which is something people often appreciate because it makes things comfortable and safe. The grounds include walking trails, landscaped gardens, and courtyards, where many residents spend time visiting or just relaxing, and inside you'll find common areas for social activities, exercise, and meals-they give three nutritious meals each day to every resident and have even won awards for their food.
The staff at Springfield is trained for many different needs, with nurses on-site and someone awake at all hours, and they're known for being helpful and kind, which often makes folks feel more at ease. For seniors who want to live as independently as possible, there are independent living apartments where the housework and laundry are all taken care of, and for those who need more help, there's assisted living, where staff help with things like bathing, dressing, and managing medication. The memory care unit is in its own secure building for residents with Alzheimer's and other dementia, and has features such as special alarm bracelets, computerized alerts, and doors that are always monitored to help prevent wandering while allowing for safe activities and therapies that match each person's needs. Residents with medical concerns can get skilled nursing, expert wound care from a Board Certified Vascular Surgeon and Nurse Practitioner, and help from physical and occupational therapy teams seven days a week, and the community can assist with diabetic care, medication, and transferring using mechanical lifts when needed.
Springfield Senior Living Community has housekeeping, laundry and linen service, regular room checks at night for extra safety, and transportation to medical appointments, and meals are always included, along with utilities except for personal telephones. They let residents bring some pets, though dogs of all sizes aren't allowed, and there are no extra charges for rental packages that include almost every service. Friends and families are welcome to come for a tour or share a meal, and new residents get a welcome basket, which some say is a nice touch. The management team has over 20 years in health care, and the building itself has history, once serving the community as a tuberculosis hospital long ago. Financing can be done by check or through Medicare for those who need it, and the property is state licensed, number 144840, with reviews verifying it's up to date. The staff offers care from respite stays when family needs a break, to ongoing support for long-term residents. Social, exercise, and hobby activities fill the calendar each week, with support for religious needs if folks want, and the staff seems to work to keep folks active and comfortable, whether someone wants quiet time in the garden or a busy social schedule. Springfield Senior Living Community is a place where many find a balance of help and independence on a peaceful campus with access to thoughtful care.
