Residential services for adults with physical and intellectual challenges have changed greatly in the course of Elwyn’s 154-year history. Past models of institutional, custodial care have given way to more personalized campus residential living options. Along with these new options come opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental challenges to achieve new levels of personal success in their lives.

Elwyn’s campus residential living services offer long-term care options in a supportive and encouraging environment. They provide structure in a home-like environment on our beautiful 150-acre Media, PA, campus. Residents enjoy opportunities to socialize with peers; attend movies, professional sporting events, and the theatre; dine at local restaurants; learn new skills; participate in shared chores; and explore a variety of vocational and employment options. Residents have multiple opportunities to enrich their lives socially and spiritually on the campus and in their community.

We believe that people with disabilities should have the opportunity to choose the living arrangements that are most comfortable for them. To that end, we offer a full range of housing and community-based options along with a variety of day programs that offer people the choices that will allow them to be as active as they want. Our residential services emphasize what is important in a person’s life, such as daily employment, social development, recreation, community interaction, and many other activities of daily living.
