No longer will you have to face doctor’s appointments alone – we are here to provide the level of assistance you need to embrace life on your terms.
Our Campus
Nestled in the picturesque Wyndmoor, PA, Springfield Senior Living stands on a historic campus with a compelling past. Dating back to 1877, William Bucknell’s donation led to the establishment of the Rehab Hospital/House of Mercy, marking the inception of the first tuberculosis institution in the US. The Shields Building, funded by Mary Shields’ bequest, emerged as a new structure within the Rehab Hospital. By 1957, the hospital transitioned its focus to physical rehabilitation, earning the name All Saints’ Rehabilitation Hospital.
In 1987, Chestnut Hill Hospital Health Care acquired the campus from Episcopal Community Services, prompting a name change. The subsequent ownership by Traditions Healthcare in 2007 resulted in the establishment of Montgomery Rehabilitation Center. Meanwhile, Springfield Senior Living, initially known as Springfield Retirement Residence, was constructed in 1975 by Episcopal Community Services. Dedicated to providing secure, independent living for local seniors within a caring environment.
Presently, Springfield Senior Living has evolved into a steadfast healthcare management firm under the proficient guidance of experts in healthcare and finance. With a management team boasting over two decades of experience in the healthcare industry, we understand the diverse needs of our facilities’ employees, residents, and concerned families.
