About Inglis House

Managed by Inglis — a nonprofit corporation with deep roots in the Philadelphia community — Inglis House has a longstanding history of providing exceptional care to adults with complex physical disabilities and skilled nursing needs, rooted in a mission of empowering people to live with the greatest possible independence and dignity. The location along Belmont Avenue places Inglis House at the edge of Fairmount Park, Philadelphia's crown jewel of green space. The park's extensive trail system, meadows, and the scenic Schuylkill River waterfront are immediately accessible, offering residents and visiting families beautiful natural surroundings that are genuinely rare for an urban care setting. The nearby Mann Center for the Performing Arts hosts world-class concerts and events during warmer months, enriching the cultural life of the surrounding area. Families visiting from West Philadelphia, Wynnefield Heights, East Falls, and the Main Line suburbs will find Inglis House conveniently located near the City Avenue corridor and accessible via multiple SEPTA routes. The Philadelphia Zoo on Girard Avenue and the Please Touch Museum are cultural anchors just a short drive away, giving families with children and grandchildren meaningful destinations during visits. For healthcare coordination, the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Penn Presbyterian Medical Center are within the broader West Philadelphia medical corridor, providing access to one of the nation's premier academic medical ecosystems. Jefferson Health's Roxborough campus also serves the area. As a nonprofit, Inglis House reinvests in its programs, environment, and staff — a distinction that shapes the facility's culture and its dedication to long-term resident well-being over commercial imperatives. Their commitment to accessible, inclusive care makes them a unique and valued resource for Philadelphia's disabled adult and senior populations.
