Historical
Icon and Valued Neighbor
For nearly a century, Evangelical Manor (the Manor) has remained a stable and vital presence, ministering to the needs of older adults in Northeast Philadelphia. In 1930 we opened the stately doors of Evangelical Manor at its present location. We are proud to say that they have remained open ever since.
The Manor fills a large need in the community for affordable, quality retirement living for approximately 300 older adult residents. The organization also provides employment for over 250 people who live in the vicinity.
With rapidly changing technology and advances in medicine, older adults now enjoy a higher quality of life than ever before. Because of the age and design of the Manor, the building cannot be adapted to meet these advances in standard of living. In addition to addressing the needs of current residents, the Manor must be prepared for the influx of aging “baby boomers” in need of affordable retirement options. While we have responsibly stewarded our assets and resources, the reality is that the Manor is a very old building that is sorely outdated.
Revitalization through Renovation
The
Manor is undergoing a major facility upgrade to
ensure that residents have access to a comprehensive
continuum of quality services. The cost of the
renovation project is $23.1 million.
Given WEL’s commitment to providing adequate yet affordable housing options to older adults, we cannot offset the cost of planned improvements to the Manor by raising the fees for our low- and middle-income residents. To give current and future generations of Manor residents a home that they deserve, we have secured private financing and are working with the state to secure public sector support.
To complete the capital project, we need to raise $3.1 million from stakeholders and the broader community. Wesley Enhanced Living has already made significant progress towards this goal through generous leadership gifts amounting to over $2.1 million.
Now it is time to turn to people like you who deeply care about those who live and work at the Manor. Our ability to transform the Manor for current and future residents and employees is linked to reaching our Campaign goal. Please join our expanding community of donors by making a gift to the Evangelical Manor Capital Campaign today!
