Asbury Heights Marks 100 Years

When Frances Campbell Hamilton, with the help of the Pittsburgh Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, created a home for 18 elderly men and women in Dravosburg in 1908, she probably never imagined it growing into a 26-acre campus that would eventually become home to more than 500 people.

But Mrs. Hamilton's generosity and her compassion for older adults started the institution that today is Asbury Heights on Bower Hill Road in Mt. Lebanon.

Yesterday, Asbury Heights, a continuing care community encompassing independent and assisted living arrangements and skilled nursing and dementia units, celebrated its centennial.
