Overview of The Hearth at Drexel The Hearth at Drexel offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania. With 85 beds, the community has studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, including a two-bedroom option for a couple moving together. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident continues living in an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering.
Respite care offers a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Having several care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time, since moving to another level of care can happen without leaving the community. That continuity can spare the resident a move to a different setting as support needs change.
Residents can choose between restaurant-style and family-style dining, with snacks also available. Landscaped gardens, patios, and balconies offer outdoor spaces, while a beauty salon and barbershop in each household keep grooming services on site. The Liberty Lifestyles wellness program, scheduled activities, trips, spirituality programs, and outings to nearby Philadelphia provide structured choices for recreation and wellness. Lutheran religious services are available.
A Walk Score of 58 places the area in the somewhat walkable category, so some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to manage certain nearby tasks independently. Pets are allowed, which means a resident may continue living with a pet. The community is operated by Mary J Drexel Home. Assisted living, memory care, and respite care may make it a good fit for someone who needs support now, may need a secured setting later, or needs a temporary stay while a usual caregiver is away or recovering.
