Fact Sheet
History
In 1884, The Springfield Home for Aged Women was the first organization in Western Massachusetts to provide a safe place for seniors to live out their retirement years with dignity. The founders raised funds among themselves and from other prominent area families, and purchased a house on Main Street in the south end of Springfield. The first home could accommodate sixteen women. In 1898, land was acquired at the corner of Chestnut and Carew Streets and another, much larger, home was constructed. In 1960, the name of the home was changed to Chestnut Knoll, at the suggestion of the residents. Chestnut Knoll began to admit men in 1993.
In 1993, the organization purchased a 23-acre parcel of land in Longmeadow to build a new community that would provide both independent living and assisted living, housed in one building with various common areas. In 2003, the board voted to change the organization's legal name to Glenmeadow. Glenmeadow continues to operate as a not-for-profit organization managed by a local board of directors.
