58th and Greenway Presbyterian, run by HumanGood, sits at 2050 S 58th Street in Southwest Philadelphia and is part of a four-building campus. The community offers sixty affordable one-bedroom apartments for low-income seniors aged 62 and up, with everything like heat, water, and electricity covered in the rent, so people don't have to worry about extra bills at the end of the month, and all the apartments come with full kitchens, garbage disposals, stainless steel appliances, and smart stoves, plus laundry facilities, elevators, trash chutes, and extra insulation for warmth and quiet. Seniors living here get to choose between independent living for those still active, residential living, assisted living, and more advanced care like memory care for dementia and Alzheimer's or skilled nursing when care and supervision are needed day and night.
Staff stay on site around the clock and can help with moving, bathing, dressing, medication, managing diabetes, and even care for those who can't walk or need incontinence help, which is a relief for many residents and their families, more so since diabetic care and memory care costs are higher and harder to find elsewhere, and there's always someone watching for emergencies, too. Residents who need meals can get one or two every day, cooked by chefs and meal planners who think about taste and health, so seniors eat well and easily if cooking gets too hard. Indoor and outdoor common spaces let people gather and talk, participate in social events in the community center, or enjoy quiet time in the lounge, patio, activity room, computer lab, library, or conference room.
Greenway Presbyterian encourages movement with activities like games and exercise classes, and their programs engage people's bodies, minds, hearts, and spirits with devotional services, all in a peaceful and friendly environment, where staff are known to be joyful, helpful, and kind. The building is built to be green-friendly and safe, with security and intercoms, water-saving plumbing, ENERGY STAR® appliances, and energy-efficient heating and air conditioning, so the place stays comfortable all year round and is easier on the environment. Because it's a continuing care retirement community (CCRC), people can move to higher levels of care as needs change without having to leave the campus, making it less disruptive for everyone, and they've even won awards for quality care, good service, and making residents feel at home. Seniors here can get spiritual comfort, medical care from visiting doctors, and regular screenings, and they don't have to leave the building if they need assistance, since help is always close by for anything from insulin checks to moving from their bed to a wheelchair, which is all important as people want to feel safe, cared-for, and able to enjoy each day.
