The Main Line: A Mecca for Seniors
Aging happens to the best of us. All those
exercise and diet routines can certainly
keep us looking and feeling young, but the
fact is, certain needs become more pressing as we age. Pennsylvania—especially
the Philadelphia suburbs—remains wildly
popular with the G.I. Generation. Based
on research from the Pennsylvania
Health Care Association, the numbers
here illustrate the ongoing need for
independent living, assisted living and
nursing facilities throughout our state.
65-and-older population ranks third in
the United States, behind Florida and West Virginia. One in five is 60 or older.
• Its over-85 population ranks fourth in the country.
• Pennsylvania’s
60-and-older segment is expected to make
up 25 percent of the total population—that’s more than 3 million people.
• By 2020, Pennsylvania’s
85 or older is expected to increase
10 percent, to more than 360,000 residents.
• Pennsylvania has about 725 nursing homes, with more than 89,000 beds.
• By 2020, the number of people
Live weLL. Live Long. Live at Beaumont.
One, only one,
retirement community in the Philadelphia area,
offers you these 6 keys to many happy years:
1 Own your home: a spacious apartment or villa
2 First-class food, your choice of seven unique
dining rooms
3 A true community of warm, welcoming people
4 A wide range of activities—twenty-nine, actually—both physical and mental
5 Health care right here—with doctors and nurses
and care facilities available every single day
6 Because Beaumont is a co-op, you become an
owner—with tax advantages and assurance of
continuity and quality.

Fortunately for local seniors, the Main
Line is home to a high concentration of
facilities that offer the full spectrum of
services. Martins Run Senior Living
Community’s Lorraine DellaFranco says
the surplus of seniors in the area is due
to a variety of factors—but family is a big
one. “This is their neighborhood,” says
DellaFranco, who is senior vice president of
sales and marketing for the Media facility.
“Many folks in this area stay here because
this is the nucleus of their family. It’s an
environment they enjoy, and I’ve found
that a lot of folks who move to Florida
end up moving back home to this area.”
Still, some are hesitant to explore
these communities. “We talk to people
daily who keep saying, ‘I’m not ready for
this,’ or ‘This is not for me,’” says
DellaFranco. “Once they move in, they
really start to blossom. They realize
that their life is even more independent,
they’re more involved with programs, and
they’re going out more. Our seniors begin
to realize just how much more is now
available to them.”
When making such a crucial decision,
a planned visit is key. “Many people are
looking to get the ‘wow’ factor, but you
have to look beyond the bricks and
mortar,” says DellaFranco. “Look at the
residents; see what they’re involved in.
Is there an open-door policy? Find out
whether it’s a for-profit or a nonprofit
organization. Read contracts; read disclosures; ask the questions.”
Above all else, open and honest
communication between seniors and
family—and family and healthcare
providers—is an integral part of creating
a quality experience within an independent living, assisted living or nursing
home environment. A community must
fit both the needs of the resident and the
needs of the family.
“It’s really more about peace of mind
for themselves and their family members,”
DellaFranco says. “They have the security
of knowing they don’t have to leave
campus if their needs increase at any
time. The focus for these communities is
more than just health service; it has a lot
to do with nurturing their minds, bodies
MLT
and spirits.”
You have taste, integrity,
respect for tradition. Already,
we have a lot in common.
Waverly Heights is a lifecare community
that has met industry standards of excellence
in management, financial stability,
and quality of care and service. Every day,

The Ins and Outs of Downsizing
Moving to a smaller residence is a priority for many Americans—and rightfully so. A smaller home often means less maintenance,
a reduced cost of living and a cozier atmosphere overall. But it doesn’t always mean skimping on quality and amenities. A popular
option these days, 55+/active adult communities offer a variety of amenities, conveniences and recreational options. When searching
for a new home, consider the following checklist of features.
Entrances and Exits
• Bright lighting inside and outside entries.
• High-visibility house numbers.
• Easy-open door locks, such as keyless locks with remote
or keypad codes.
Silently… painlessly…
You may be losing your teeth.

With a stunning array of options at their disposal, today’s
discerning seniors can shop for a retirement community as
if they were buying a house—and when it comes to the area’s
rapidly expanding 55+ residential market, they may be doing
just that. At some senior living communities, those seeking
independence in safe, convenient, secure surroundings can opt
for a cottage-style home or townhouse. Others offer spacious
lofts and multi-room apartments for a cozier feel.
Often it’s the community as a whole that’s the biggest selling
point, since many are located on properties that are as visually
impressive as they are vast, with amenities like golf courses,
athletic clubs, resident-tended gardens and more. All foster
independence while cultivating an environment of mutual
respect, relaxation and growth among residents. Many offer
assisted living and nursing options on an as-needed basis.
Assisted-living communities keep residents active and
entertained with everything from woodworking and music
classes to animal companionship and art therapy. Most provide
care for specific conditions, while offering short-term stays and
rehabilitation services.
For long-term, healthcare-dependent situations, a skilled
nursing environment is also available in many cases. In January
2010, U.S. News & World Report compiled state-by-state
rankings of the top nursing homes based on health inspections,
staffing and various other quality measures. As it turns out,
Philadelphia’s western suburbs are home to four of Pennsylvania’s
best: Crosslands of the Kendal-Crosslands Communities in
Kennett Square, Waverly Heights in Gladwyne, Wellington
Terrace in West Chester and Rosemont’s Golden LivingCenter.
It’s also worth noting that some communities offer
prospective residents the option of a short-term stay to help
with the decision process, and tours are always available.

PROSTATE CANCER:
45 TREATMENTS VS. 5 TREATMENTS
You decide.
One in six men will develop prostate cancer. In the past, treatment options included
surgery or months of radiation—as many as 40 sessions or more. But now, there’s
a new option that’s non-invasive and requires only five days of treatments.
Philadelphia CyberKnife uses highly concentrated beams of radiation that are
capable of targeting tumors more precisely than any other form of radiation
currently available. There are no scalpels, no anesthesia and no recovery time. In fact,
the outpatient procedure is painless and you’re free to return to your normal
activities immediately following each treatment.
In the fight against cancer, there’s a new weapon and new hope. Call or visit our
website today for more information.
