Rydal Park & Waters

Rydal Park & Waters, operated by HumanGood, is a nonprofit Life Plan Community in Abington Township set on 55 private acres, and it's where you'll find a wide range of senior living options all together, which means people can stay as their needs change over time, and there are independent living apartments that range from studios all the way up to three-bedroom homes, plus a cottage home neighborhood with covered porches and easy access to walking paths, green lawns, and mature wooded areas. For those needing extra support, there are assisted living suites and skilled nursing beds, along with short-stay rehabilitation options and memory care cottages for those living with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, with team members trained in memory support, and the buildings themselves have features like modern kitchens, walk-in closets, comfortable common areas with fireplaces, piano, and big windows to let in lots of light and give things a warm, home-like atmosphere. The campus makes it easy to stay active or relaxed, with both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, landscaped grounds for walking or gardening, a woodworking shop, a library, plus concerts and lectures held for residents who like to keep their minds busy, and there are chef-prepared meals served in comfortable dining rooms, with menus focused on quality and nutrition and even catering services for special occasions. At Spring House Estates, residents enjoy green lawns and charming gardens embraced by the woods, and there's also Inglis House where 24-hour medical and nursing services are offered to people with neurological disorders, like multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries, along with programs aimed at community re-entry and social enrichment like education therapy, adaptive computer use, vocational rehab, and recreational activities, and staff include registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants, all helping with bathing, dressing, medications, and more. Amenities like an on-site audiologist, dentist, and podiatrist help with health needs, while occupational, speech, and physical therapies are provided for those needing rehabilitation, and there's also help for moving and packing, plus planning advice if people are unsure which care option might fit best. People have choices, whether they want secure memory care units, assisted living support, accessible no-frills apartments for those who are still independent, or residential care homes for those who need a live-in caregiver, and everyone has a chance to socialize, try horticultural therapy, or take part in support groups. Rydal Park & Waters welcomes people of all backgrounds, and staff members are known for being friendly and kind, with a focus on providing support so that residents can feel secure and live purposefully with peace of mind about the future, and since care levels are all on one campus, it's easier for families as needs change.
