The Hearth at Drexel stands as a distinguished senior living community renowned for its combination of sophisticated luxury and highly personalized care. Nestled within a landmark historic mansion in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, The Hearth has deep roots in the region, having evolved from the Mary J. Drexel Home, which established a tradition of quality, comfort, and security for more than a century. Today, The Hearth at Drexel offers an exceptional residential experience, setting itself apart through a thoughtful, progressive approach to assisted living and memory care.

The studio and apartment homes are personally decorated, providing an inviting and comforting environment, while a dedicated, 24-hour caregiving team ensures attentive care that adapts as residents’ needs change.
