Foulkeways at Gwynedd

Foulkeways at Gwynedd sits on over 130 acres with more than 400 adult residents, offering a mix of walking paths, a bike ride area, and landscaped grounds that provide space for bird watching or enjoying a putting green, while there's a bird blind nearby for those wanting a closer look at wildlife and the indoor Olympic-size pool is always kept warm for swim classes or times when grandkids visit. Residents can take part in many activities like yoga, craft fairs, fitness programs, campus lectures, singing groups, art rooms, and special interest clubs, and folks like Lorna choose to spend time with children at the on-site childcare center, which helps connect generations in a community. The community's style comes from its Quaker roots, focusing on independence, respect, and security, and you'll find staff and aides who are helpful and kind, with an admissions office known for clear, thoughtful responses that guide families through senior care decisions. Foulkeways offers a Life Plan Community model, meaning they support independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, personal care, skilled nursing, long-term palliative or hospice care, and in-home companion services, and they use programs like Music & Memory® and Opening Minds through Art® for specialized memory care. There are studios, 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom residences with optional dens or sunrooms, plus common spaces like an all-season sunroom, a community center, and three resident dining venues where chefs prepare nutritious, international, or vegetarian meals, along with gluten-free and no sugar options, in a restaurant-style setting. Foulkeways gets high marks from residents and families for its walkable setup-both indoors and out-and awards for care, dining, and engagement, recognizing the staff's attention to the needs and preferences of each resident. Accessibility and quality of life come together with things like handicap access, high-speed Wi-Fi, and medical support for diabetes, non-ambulatory needs, medication management, and incontinence care. They also run green programs including geothermal heating and cooling, a Green Dining Service, and a multi-year forest restoration project to make sure the land stays healthy, so folks who like nature often spend time walking outdoors or relaxing in the sunroom. The culture here values independence, inclusion, respect, and choice, and with on-campus events, regular updates, and plenty of ways to get involved, Foulkeways at Gwynedd lets older adults keep learning, moving, and feeling connected, guided throughout by Quaker values and a steady approach to resident well-being and sustainability.
