Quarryville Presbyterian in Quarryville, PA operates as a continuing care retirement community. This model allows residents to move among the appropriate levels of care on the same campus as their needs change, reducing the disruptions that can come from relocating to new providers. The community maintains licensed support for daily living tasks, short-term rehabilitation, and long-term skilled nursing, so residents can remain within the same system whether they are seeking minimal assistance or more advanced services.
Medical oversight includes focused Diabetes Care delivered by staff trained in blood glucose monitoring, medication timing, and nutritional guidance. An emergency call system is installed throughout the residences and common areas, giving residents immediate access to on-site responders 24 hours a day. The facility coordinates with physicians and outside specialists as needed, and care plans are revised regularly to match each resident’s current health status.
Residences vary from private apartments to cottage-style homes. Depending on the specific unit, features can include wall-to-wall carpeting, cable television connections, in-unit washer and dryer, and campus-wide Wi-Fi. Outdoor areas, gardens, landscaped grounds, parking, and walking paths add practical and recreational options, while indoor common spaces such as the library and computer lounge provide areas for reading, internet use, or small gatherings. Housekeeping is provided, and not every accommodation includes every listed feature, so prospective residents should verify details for the units they are considering.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily. The dining program follows nutritional guidelines set by the clinical team, with menu choices designed to support residents managing conditions such as diabetes. Staff can accommodate modified textures, portion control, and other physician-ordered dietary adjustments, and snacks are available between meals for those with specific glucose monitoring schedules.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts scheduled programs in arts and crafts, health and wellness classes, and a variety of clubs and community groups. These offerings are intended to support social engagement, physical conditioning, and personal interests without leaving the campus.
