Waverly Heights residents discover peace of mind, socialization, and a sense of community, as well as countless opportunities to satisfy their shared appetite for lifelong learning and growth.
Valentine’s Day has special meaning for most romantically linked couples, but the day holds particular significance for Wendy Greenfield and Richard Hamilton. On February 14, 2024, Wendy moved into Rick’s villa in Waverly Heights, a nonprofit Life Plan Community situated on a 63-acre former estate in Gladwyne.
“Rick and I met years ago, and we had a mutual friend who reconnected us,” Wendy says. “We ended up walking our dogs together. He introduced me to the Bridlewild Trails near Waverly Heights. That’s where we fell in love, while walking our dogs [Jeffrey and Rhett]. It was totally unexpected at this stage of my life.”
Rick has been living at Waverly Heights for eight years. When he and his wife, Lucinda (“Pinkie”), moved to the community from their home in Bryn Mawr, they did so in part so their two adult daughters could have peace of mind. With one daughter in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and another one in Madrid, Spain, Rick and Pinkie wanted the assurance of knowing they would be well taken care of when and if their health ever took a turn. They liked the fact that the community would enable them to transition seamlessly into different aspects of medical care—personal care, memory support, and skilled nursing, if needed—while prioritizing dignity and quality of life.
“Waverly is a lovely place,” Rick adds. “The grounds are beautiful; you’re living in nature here. The residents are invariably interesting, and the staff are chosen for their sociability. That sets the mood for the rest of us.” Continue reading on Suburban Life Magazine.
