Spring Mill is one of the Presby’s Inspired Life family of communities, with a tradition of exceptional living experiences. Founded over 60 years ago, Presby’s Inspired Life is a non-denominational, faith-based, not-for-profit organization that provides quality housing and long-term care for older adults in and around Philadelphia. Today, more than 3,000 residents live in more than 30 communities across greater Philadelphia, including Spring Mill. Presby’s dedication to creating high-quality communities for people 62 and better, and 60 plus years of successful cost management, have earned its communities multiple awards — including Spring Mill’s award for 2018 Best Personal Care Community in Montgomery County — an honor it has received seven years in a row.
The serene Spring Mill community is nestled in the woodlands of Lafayette Hill, just west of Philadelphia’s Chestnut Hill and conveniently close to many area historical and cultural sites, including Boathouse Row, the Act II Playhouse and the Morris Arboretum. This welcoming community offers a range of living environments, including residential living, personal care and memory support.
