Advanced Living Communities

Advanced Living Communities is a faith-based, non-profit organization providing quality, affordable housing and services to individuals in need since 1962. We are a unique organization with an innovative approach to helping people live and age. History: Advanced Living Communities was founded in 1962 by members of the Schwenkfelder Church, a small Christian demonination native to southeastern Pennsylvania. Founded on the values of universal equality and unconditional compassion, Advanced Living opened its first residential retirement community, Schwenckfeld Manor, to low-income seniors in 1974. Expansions followed in 1979 and 1989. Advanced Living opened its second community, Schwenckfeld Terrace, in 2008, serving over 300 residents on its original campus. Vision: We, the board and management of Advanced Living Communities, will manifest our love of Jesus Christ by providing affordable living facilities in our region for a diverse population. We will develop affordable, secure, attractive and well-maintained communities. We will provide programs and services to our residents, and with the communities at large, which will ease life transitions. Mission: The mission of Advanced Living is to provide affordable housing and services for elderly and disabled persons while they are aging in place and others needing transitional housing.
