About Us
The Quaker Tradition
Stapeley was built in 1904 as the Boarding Home for the
Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting. The original building, on its
six-acre site, was a gift from Anna T. Jeanes. Stapeley is founded
on Quaker principles of honesty, integrity and the worth of every
human being. It is built on ground considered sacred by the Lennape
and Iriquois Tribes and was a stop on the Underground Railroad
before The Civil War.
Opened in 1904, Stapeley
was offered as a haven to Friends and those who shared the Quaker
beliefs and traditions. Today Stapeley is a community with a wide
variety of beliefs and cultures dedicated to those same Quaker
traditions.
Our Location
. . . A Setting for Life
Stapeley is located in
Historic Germantown, a Northwest neighborhood in Philadelphia with a 300
year history of diversity and a rich variety of shops, places of worship
and historic treasures. Germantown is a neighborhood in which past and
future meet to create a unique way of life. Like Germantown, Stapeley is
a community where William Penn’s idea of a “Greene Countrie Towne” is
realized. Within this urban oasis, residents and visitors will find a
natural environment that includes a small hardwood forest, winding
pathways and a variety of birds and wildlife. All this is only nine
miles from the arts, music and activity of center city Philadelphia. At
Stapeley you can enjoy the best of urban and suburban life.
A Caring
Community
The Stapeley tradition of
caring is more than meets the eye. The continuum of services, the
residential apartments, the quality health care, these are the obvious.
It is the spirit that sets Stapeley apart. It is the spirit that prompts
families and visitors to remark, “...the halls of Stapeley are resonant
with kindness and love.”
Our commitment reflects our
Quaker roots, and maintains the dignity and self-worth of every person.
