Edgewood Retirement Home Inc

Edgewood Retirement Home Inc sits on West Johnson Street, in a building that's part of a group of historic properties like the old Nugent Home for Baptists and the Presser Home for Retired Music Teachers, and you'll notice the Chateauesque style that goes all the way back to 1896, and even though it once closed for health concerns after being an assisted living facility, it's now been brought back to help with what's needed most for seniors, like different levels of support from independent living for folks who want a maintenance-free lifestyle to full nursing care with round-the-clock help for things like rehabilitation and wound care, or even memory care for seniors with Alzheimer's and dementia. Edgewood offers respite care for short stays, in-home services with trained aides for folks that want to stay put, and general senior apartments for those looking for hassle-free living with some help as needed, and you'll find options for assisted living, residential support, and skilled nursing all in one place. The community also connects to places like Atria Lafayette Hill and Wesley Enhanced Living Main Line, each offering different floor plans, pet access, internet, handicap accessibility, local outings, activities, and support from staff that cover everything from maintenance to security, and residents often say the staff are friendly, helpful, and make it easy to settle in. Meals focus on nutrition with chefs planning for taste and balance, and there are lots of chances to eat out or grab coffee with 8 restaurants and 7 cafes nearby, while parks, pharmacies, physicians, and five hospitals are close for health, relaxation, or emergencies, plus three different ways to get around with local transportation services. Folks can pick what matches their needs best, from social independent living to assisted care for help with bathing or medication, and there are plenty of activities and outings, so no matter the level of support or the type of care, there's something here to make things easier and more comfortable as you age, all in a setting that values old buildings and new needs together.
