Hill at Whitemarsh in Lafayette Hill operates as a continuing care retirement community, allowing residents to move among independent living, personal care, and skilled nursing settings without leaving the campus. This structure lets individuals enter at the level of support they currently need, then transition smoothly to higher levels of assistance if their health status changes.
Medical services at the community are organized to address both routine and chronic needs. A licensed nursing team is on site around the clock to monitor vital signs, manage medications, and respond to urgent concerns. The staff offers targeted diabetes management that includes blood-glucose monitoring, insulin administration, and coordination with physicians to adjust treatment plans. Residents also have access to rehabilitation therapies, regular wellness assessments, and on-call physician services, helping them maintain stability and reduce hospital visits.
Living quarters range from studio apartments to larger multi-room layouts, each designed with accessibility in mind. Safety features such as grab bars, emergency call systems, and barrier-free showers are standard, while select residences add private patios or close proximity to landscaped outdoor areas. Not every unit includes every feature, so prospective residents should confirm the exact specifications of the apartment they are considering.
The dining program provides three daily meals prepared by culinary staff and overseen by dietitians who tailor menus for varied dietary needs, including carbohydrate-consistent options for residents managing diabetes. Meals are served in a restaurant-style main dining room with table service, and lighter fare is available throughout the day at café areas. As with accommodations, dining venue proximity and in-unit kitchenettes vary by residence type.
Residents can take part in an on-site activity center, scheduled arts and crafts sessions, organized health and wellness programs, and a library and computer lounge that supports both leisure reading and internet use. Planned social outings extend engagement into the broader community, providing opportunities for shopping, cultural events, and recreation.
