History
Advanced Living Communities was founded in 1962 by members of the Schwenkfelder Church, a small Christian demonination native to southeastern Pennsylvania. Founded on the values of universal equality and unconditional compassion, Advanced Living opened its first residential retirement community, Schwenckfeld Manor, to low-income seniors in 1974. Expansions followed in 1979 and 1989. Advanced Living opened its second community, Schwenckfeld Terrace, in 2008, serving over 300 residents on its original campus.
