For anyone with aging parents, you may be faced with helping them decide whether they will age in place, move in with you, or move to a facility that is designed to support them. Already considered one of the best, the Gladwyne retirement community of Waverly Heights is about to get a lot more attractive: groundbreaking has begun for a new luxury apartment building to be erected on the campus. From hardwood floors, to gas fireplaces and crown molding, these units will offer many Main Line residents something closer to what they may be used to in the homes they are often loathe to leave. The 63-acre campus, on the site of what was previously a private estate, has won awards for its stunning grounds and the original architecture of the main building. The apartments (as small as 800 sq. ft.) and villas (2-storey homes over 5,500 sq. ft.) that have already been added are comfortable and carefully designed to complement the pre-existing structures. This new building will follow suit and will also spur some renovations, especially to the dining facilities, to bring the entire community to a modern standard that will best meet the needs and expectations of its current and incoming residents. Other updates will include enlarging the pool and creating spaces for fitness and computer classes.
