Philadelphia Protestant Home in Philadelphia, PA offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care under one roof, allowing residents to move between service levels as needs change. The community is equipped to support moderate dementia and supplies medical oversight for residents who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, display combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, or require wound care. Nurses monitor oxygen use, special diets, and all tiers of diabetes management, including oral medications, injections, and sliding scale regimens.
Care delivery is reinforced by an RN or LPN on staff, an awake night shift, and a 24-hour nurse on call. Safety measures include background-checked personnel, 24-hour security, alarmed doors, fenced courtyards, Wander Guard, pull cords, and personal emergency response systems. On-site medical providers cover podiatry, audiology, dentistry, therapy services, and psychiatric needs. Direct assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting at the full-assistance level, and staff are trained for walker support, wheelchair mobility, standby or one-person transfers, two-person transfers, and bed-bound care.
Apartments can include a private bathroom, basic furnishings, individual climate controls, cable, and the option to paint or otherwise personalize the space; not every unit offers every feature. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided for all residents. Independent Living residents occupy similar apartments but manage more of their own routines while knowing higher levels of care are on site if needed.
Dining follows an on-order approach with snacks available throughout the day. The kitchen accommodates diet modifications such as gluten-free, vegetarian, mechanical-chop, purée, and thickened-liquid options. Independent Living residents can opt into medication management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan that covers a set number of meals in the main dining venue.
The campus includes resident parking, is wheelchair accessible, and welcomes pets; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Amenities consist of a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie theater, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, game room, concierge desk, library, pool, and a range of special-interest clubs. Transportation is provided for medical appointments and outings, and the property is close to public transit for residents who prefer independent travel.
