Award-Winning Culture Drives Renewed Commitment to Residents, Families, and Team
WALLINGFORD, Pa. — Chestnut Ridge at Wallingford has entered a new era of leadership with IntegraCare now operating the senior living community.
IntegraCare, with 15 senior living communities in Pennsylvania, is renowned for its award-winning culture and commitment to both residents and team members. IntegraCare brings to Chestnut Ridge its signature 3-Dimensional Focus – rooted in the belief that the foundation for an exceptional wellness program begins with a strong foundation of support for team members.
“With IntegraCare now at the helm, our goals are to deliver great service to residents, bring peace of mind for families, and energize our team members,” said Parween Nooruddin, Community Integration Director at IntegraCare. “This new chapter is about earning trust through stable leadership, a caring culture, and our deep commitment to consistent, high-quality care.”
IntegraCare’s people-first approach is evident through initiatives such as the Motivational Advancement Program (MAP), which helps team members grow their careers and improve their earnings. The Continued Attendance Rewards (CAR) program provides IntegraCare employees who achieved weeks of perfect attendance a chance to win a brand-new car through an annual raffle drawing.
“IntegraCare’s mission is built on a simple but powerful belief: When we take great care of our team members, they take great care of our residents, and that brings peace of mind to families,” said Larry Rouvelas, CEO of IntegraCare. “At Chestnut Ridge, we’re committed to building a culture of respect, growth and excellence, where quality care isn’t just a goal. It’s a daily standard.”
This strong sense of support and stability is central to IntegraCare’s operations, which have attracted attention throughout the senior living industry. The company’s communities have consistently earned Great Place to Work® certification and multiple placements in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Senior Living rankings.
“IntegraCare brings a new beginning grounded in stability, compassion, and people-first values to Chestnut Ridge at Wallingford,” said Paola Fusaro, IntegraCare Area General Manager. “We want residents and families to feel confident and supported, knowing that we are here to do right by them every day.”
Significant capital improvements are also being made. They include renovated common areas, upgraded WiFi, and the creation of IntegraCare’s well-regarded LifeBridges neighborhood for residents with substantial care needs. All that is combined with what are already some of the largest apartments available in any personal care home in the region.
Chestnut Ridge at Wallingford is positioned to become more than just a place to live. IntegraCare’s mission is to make it a community where residents feel genuinely cared for, families feel reassured, and team members feel empowered to grow and thrive.
“It’s a renewed promise to put people first, every day,” Fusaro said.
