Personal Care (often referred to as assisted living in other states) is for people who want to continue living an active, independent lifestyle, but need a little extra assistance with daily tasks.
Those are the basics you should expect at any Personal Care community. But what sets apart personal care at The Heritage of Green Hills (formerly Green Hills Manor) in Shillington, PA is our individualized approach. We listen to each resident’s personal story and honor their achievements. We respect personal preferences and cater to individual needs. Residents can choose what time they want to get up in the morning and when they want to go to bed at night. They can choose what they want to eat from an extensive menu and how they want to spend their day.
We offer a full calendar of activities residents are free to participate in as they wish. We work with each resident to determine interests, hobbies and goals they’d like to pursue, and then build individualized plans around them. It’s all part of our community-wide Well by Design program to help residents achieve balance and variety in their daily lives.
