For Adults
Supportive Housing Aging In Place (SHAIP)
Aging With Dignity
Launched in 2019, SHAIP (Supportive Housing Aging in Place) is an 8-bed facility that houses older adults 55 years and older living with a mental health condition, as well as some serious medical conditions. Our mission is simple: provide a safe, welcoming, family-like community where dignity, independence, and personal growth come first.
Comfort and Accessibility You Can Count On
Residents enjoy fully accessible, home-like apartments with full kitchens, private living spaces, in-unit laundry, and safety features throughout. Separate floors for men and women, mobility supports including an outdoor lift, indoor chair lift, and our program van ensure residents stay safe and connected — whether attending appointments, participating in activities, or exploring the broader community.
Support Behind Every Door
What sets SHAIP apart is the comprehensive support that surrounds our residents. Our dedicated staff provides 24/7 coverage, Peer Support Services, medical and financial coordination, day-program planning, and a variety of social activities from monthly outings to annual vacations. Two part-time nurses also provide medical monitoring and early intervention, ensuring residents’ health needs are closely supported. Every detail is designed to help residents thrive, including support for transitions to nursing homes when necessary.
Meeting a Growing Need in Delaware County
As our residents age, mobility challenges rise and staffing shortages limit activity options, making the need for enhanced resources urgent. Some residents qualify for ancillary supports through their insurance to upgrade accessibility and maintain safety improvements throughout the facility, ensuring a secure environment for all.

With long-term staff, strong family partnerships, and a proven safety record, SHAIP is a trusted home where adults in Lansdowne, PA, can age with support, connection, and pride.
