Care & support
Springhouse offers independent living, assisted living and memory support on campus. It describes itself as a Life Plan community, not a traditional nursing home.
Independent living does not include caregiver help with daily activities in the standard monthly fee. Residents may hire private in-home caregivers or arrange separate community services if offered.
Assisted living provides personalized extra help when daily activities become challenging, in a dedicated residential setting with access to community amenities and programs.
Memory support includes a secure, easy-to-navigate setting, help with daily activities, medication management and limited medication assistance, with a trained team on site 24/7. Its approach also emphasizes autonomy and relationships with families.
Memory support also includes daily housekeeping and weekly personal laundry and linen service.
Rooms & living spaces
Independent-living apartments include one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus-den and two-bedroom layouts. Many have step-out patios or balconies and modern fixtures and finishes.
The den plan offers flexible space for an office or creative projects; the two-bedroom layout has a second bathroom.
Apartments have fully equipped kitchens, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, and a washer and dryer.
Memory support offers studio apartments with private bathrooms.
Everyday life
For independent-living residents, listed services include scheduled housekeeping, a 24-hour emergency call system and building security, utilities except internet and cable, a landline, resident and guest parking, and upkeep of common areas and grounds, including snow removal. Scheduled transportation is offered for shopping and medical appointments.
Dining & meals
The main dining room and bistro, Allandale Grill, serve fresh, chef-prepared meals. For independent living, dinner each evening is included, with breakfast and lunch available to purchase.
Memory support has a bright dining room with a fresh menu, three meals a day and snacks.
Activities & connection
Independent-living programs include gardening, book and poetry groups, art classes, cocktail socials, balance and chair-yoga classes, strength training, bridge and Scrabble, live entertainment, spiritual gatherings, volunteering and local excursions.

How are independent-living charges structured?
With a Life Plan contract, independent living has a monthly fee and a one-time entrance fee; both vary by home size and type. The entrance fee is described as 90% rebatable when the resident leaves or moves to a higher care setting, provided the apartment has been reoccupied. Contact Springhouse for current contract details.
Are pets welcome?
Pets are welcome, though breed and weight restrictions may apply. Contact Springhouse about a specific pet.
