H&Mcare –a home care support services business – undertook a $13 million project that will provide critical services for the community, including housing to more than 22 individuals over the age of 65, an urgent care, a pharmacy, and residential rehabilitation services.

H&Mcare acquired two parcels of land totaling 14,328 sq. ft. with a vacant three-story 3,520 sq. ft. former funeral home on Woodland Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia, with the goal of renovating and expanding into a two-building 37,805 sq. ft. mixed-use home healthcare facility with affordable senior housing.

H&Mcare, Inc. was founded in 2016 by Musa Sillah and Hamza Kikula to help individuals live independently in their own homes. The company provides long term care for a variety of conditions, from Alzheimer’s disease to complex physical disabilities, continuity of care for those who are coming back from the hospital or rehab, and supplemental care for those who are residing in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

The company’s new facility will house a second location of the Emax Pharmacy and a newly formed H&M Urgent Care business on the first floor. The second and third floors of the building will be devoted to senior-living apartments, which will include one bedroom, a living room, a furnished kitchen, and a full bathroom. The fourth floor will house H&Mcare’s administrative offices. H&M Urgent Care will be open to the public for provider in-network patients and onsite care to senior residents. The existing building at 7103 Woodland Ave has already been improved to accommodate up to six individuals transitioning out of in-patient hospital care and back to independent living. H&M Care will provide housing and resocialization services.

This project brings urgent healthcare to a medically underserved area and creates approximately 20 full-time jobs as well as quality and affordable housing.
