As guided by the Quaker principle of seeing that there is that of God in everyone, Chandler Hall offers an array of quality services to enrich the lives of aging individuals, families, and caregivers.
Chandler Hall’s vision is to seek innovative solutions that support and enhance the lives of individuals as they age.
Chandler Hall aims to support individuals in all aspects of living: physical, emotional, cognitive, and social. Residents and participants at Chandler Hall are empowered to make choices whenever they are able. Following from the Quaker principle of seeing the Light in everyone, we view aging as a natural developmental process and offer individuals support to live creatively and meaningfully.
As guided by the Quaker principle of seeking that of God in everyone, the Quaker SPICES guide our way in caring for our community.
We see all people – as valuable and worthy of our respect and love.
We aim to focus on what is truly important and seek justice for all people.
We speak the truth in our words, and we strive for honesty in all of our interactions and are responsible for those actions.
We support and care for individuals in all aspects of living: physical, emotional, cognitive and social.
We encourage and welcome all members into the community – appreciating their ethnicity/culture, cognitive and physical differences, gender, sexual preferences, generational differences, and individual uniqueness.
We take care of the things we own, use them to the best of our abilities, and share them with others who may benefit.
The Chandler Hall idea was initially made possible by a generous grant from Philadelphia Yearly Meeting’s Committee on Aging in the early 1970s. Since then, Chandler Hall has worked to transform our culture’s view of aging and of older persons, stressing the potential for fulfillment and continuing contribution during the later stages of life.
While remaining firmly grounded in the Quaker values that help focus our activities, Chandler Hall continues to move forward. Together with colleagues and caring people from many walks of life, Chandler Hall not-for-profit communities, programs, and services work to develop new practices and models to better serve older adults.
The deep roots that sustain Chandler Hall are found in Chandler Hall Values and Practices. They help ensure that Chandler Hall residents and staff share the spirit of community and collaboration and the respect for each individual that flow from the principles of the Religious Society of Friends.
Chandler Hall is committed to achieving the following Values in a fiscally responsible manner:
