Springhouse Estates operates as a continuing care retirement community, delivering a full spectrum of health services under one roof. Residents can transition among independent living, assisted living, memory support and skilled nursing without leaving the campus, ensuring continuity of care. Licensed nurses are on duty around the clock, and physicians hold regular on-site clinics to manage chronic conditions, conduct wellness checks and coordinate laboratory work. The community offers medication administration, post-acute rehabilitation therapies, wound care and scheduled transportation to off-site specialists when needed, all overseen through an electronic health record system that follows each resident through every level of care.
Beyond direct medical services, Springhouse Estates builds individualized care plans that adjust as needs change. Certified aides assist with bathing, dressing, mobility and other activities of daily living, while care coordinators track weight, hydration and fall risk. Residents wear personal emergency response devices linked to a staffed monitoring center for rapid intervention. A dedicated social work team handles discharge planning after hospital stays, arranges support groups and helps families navigate insurance paperwork. Wellness programming includes blood-pressure clinics, balance classes and cognitive training sessions aimed at preserving independence as long as possible.
Accommodations range from studio apartments to two-bedroom cottages, each equipped with safety-oriented features such as grab bars, walk-in showers and emergency pull cords. Select units add kitchenettes, private patios, in-unit laundry or extra storage, but not all accommodations include every feature. Weekly housekeeping, routine maintenance and utilities are bundled into the monthly fee, and residents can opt for cable, phone or internet upgrades if desired. The layout of the campus allows easy access to common areas like lounges, libraries and fitness rooms without needing to step outdoors in inclement weather.
Dining is provided through a central restaurant-style dining room complemented by a bistro for lighter fare. Three daily meals are prepared on site, and a registered dietitian reviews menus to accommodate diabetic, low-sodium, heart-healthy and pureed diets. Residents choose from multiple entrees at each sitting, and servers record preferences to streamline future meals. Flexible seating times help those with therapy appointments fit meals into their schedules, and a takeout option is available for anyone wanting to dine in their apartment. Family members can reserve a private dining room for celebrations, and complimentary coffee and snacks are set out between meals.
