Exciting things are happening at Springwell!

We’ve been hard at work since last year on our latest project and are happy to announce that it is nearing completion.  27 new residences will open this Spring on our newly designed 2nd floor.  In addition, a full-service Assisted Living Dining Room, cozy Living Room with fireplace and a bright new Activities Studio are all part of the improvements. And … we are now accepting deposits for these new Independent and Assisted Living residences!

While these exciting changes are the most visible ones at Springwell, we have been continuing to “build” our community in other ways since your last visit.  For instance:

1.  Our resident population has grown to over 100.  While we are still a warm, friendly community where we know every person, there are more opportunities to connect with others socially – whether one-on-one or through a vibrant menu of activities.

2.  We’ve opened a huge, handicap-accessible veranda that will provide the perfect venue for watching springtime blossom across our beautiful, 15-acre campus.

3.  Our Partners in Care program has expanded to include Dermatology, Podiatry, Mental Health, Audiology and others, to complement our longstanding relationships with GBMC Senior Services physicians and Genesis Rehabilitation therapists.

Many benefits that attracted you to Springwell in the first place though – like no large buy-in fee, reasonable monthly rates, a maintenance free lifestyle and our gracious, well-located campus – have not changed.  So, we wanted you to be the first to know about this timely opportunity to become part of our community. Please call Linda or Nina here at Springwell to find out more. Or, you can email them (Linda@springwellseniorliving.com or ninah@springwellseniorliving.com) if you prefer.  Thank you for your continued interest and we hope to see you again real soon!

From the Director’s Desk

Hello!  Many thanks to all of you who were so concerned about how I was doing after the Ravens’ bitter loss last Sunday.  No doubt about it; that was a tough one.  I was very disappointed.  With a few days time though, I guess I’m starting to heal up and gain perspective.  As a fan and customer of the Ravens, it was a memorable season and they gave us a terrific team effort in striving to achieve their mission – which is “to win football games, serve our fans, and be a positive force in the community”.

As a customer of Springwell, I hope you know that we take our team’s mission just as seriously as the Ravens do.  While we may not each do Ray Lewis’ pre-game dance when we arrive for work, we are passionate about our mission as a community:

Springwell’s Mission

“To establish and continuously elevate our reputation as a safe, warm & vibrant place for our residents to live, with consistently outstanding care & hospitality services and highly engaged staff members”.

It is our pleasure and privilege to strive for that consistently high quality resident experience 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year.  Sometimes, like the Ravens last weekend, we fall a little short.   But we try to learn from our mistakes, pick ourselves up and get back into action.  Our “Super Bowl” is that when we excel at what we do, we can make a real difference in our customers’ lives.  With great teamwork, I am optimistic that 2012 can be a championship year at Springwell!

How do you know when a Parent or Relative needs Assisted Living?

Assisted living residents are usually seniors who have had a slight decline in health in some way and need assistance performing one or more activities of daily living (ADLs). Seniors who would like to live in a social environment with little responsibilities and a place where care is easily accessible whenever the senior may need it are the type of seniors you will find in an assisted living community.

What is the difference between Independent Living and Assisted Living?

Independent living is a level of care that is below assisted living. Independent living communities are considered to be any form housing that is targeted to seniors over the age of 55. Independent living can include apartments as well as single family homes or townhouses. Typically there are activities planned for the members of the community as well as minimal assistance with yard work or other maintenance issues. Residents maintain as much independence as possible and are still able to perform all of the activities of daily living.

At Springwell we serve both Assisted Living and Independent Living as well as Memory Care that specializes in residents with dementia and Altzheimers.  We encourage to to schedule a tour so you can see for yourself the level of care we provide our residents and the lifestyle they maintain when they are here.  Give us a call at 410-664-4006

Enjoy some pictures from our Annual Holiday Ball

Great company, lovely food, libations, and Holiday spirit were all flowing during our annual Holiday Ball.  The band filled Springwell with great music and got many of our residents and staff onto the dance floor.  It was a great way to celebrate another special year at Springwell and kick off the New Year.
