Talk to a Nurse, Not a Salesperson

Assisted Living in Drexel Hill, PA
Drexel Hill sits in Delaware County, where the price of assisted living swings by thousands of dollars a month depending on the setting — and the license behind the building matters more than the lobby.
A Drexel Hill family budgeting assisted living should know three Delaware County numbers: $4,200 – $7,800 a month for personal care, $6,300 as the assisted-living median, and $30 – $34 an hour for home care. Our all-inclusive rate starts at $5,900 and covers the overnight, the meals and the nurse oversight — about 5 minutes away via Baltimore Pike, MacDade Boulevard and I-476.
Drexel Hill families ask us who assisted living is really for. In practice: someone who needs help with private or semi-private room in a 6-resident home and 24-hour caregiver assistance and supervision, and whose family wants a nurse — not a rotating aide roster — making the calls. It also covers three home-cooked meals daily plus snacks and hydration. The tour from Drexel Hill Shopping Center takes about 5 minutes.
What separates assisted living from the other options in Delaware County is who is on the floor at 2am. Here it is a caregiver who knows the resident's baseline, with a nurse on call and a written plan that already anticipates the falls, the refusals and the medication changes that Drexel Hill families usually discover after a hospital readmission.
The short answer
Bell Elite Senior Living provides assisted living for Drexel Hill, PA families from a licensed 6-resident personal care home in Lansdowne, PA — 1.5 miles and about 5 minutes away — starting at $5,900 per month with daily registered-nurse oversight.

Why Families in Drexel Hill Choose Bell Elite for Assisted Living

Nurse oversight for assisted living
Every assisted living resident has one accountable clinician. Not a care director in another county, not a hotline: the nurse who knows the Drexel Hill family's name.

Small by design: six residents means the caregiver ratio for assisted living stays low through the overnight, when larger Delaware County buildings run thinnest.
What Drexel Hill families actually pay
Long-term care insurance can be assigned to us for assisted living, and we bill the policy directly so a Drexel Hill family is not fronting $5,900 and waiting for reimbursement.
Getting to us from Drexel Hill
Visitors are welcome without an appointment, and the family portal shares shift notes, medications and appointments so Drexel Hill relatives who cannot drive in still follow the assisted living day.

Assisted Living in Drexel Hill — Frequently Asked Questions
Is assisted living in Delaware County affordable on private pay?
Our assisted living range runs $5,900 to $7,500 all-inclusive. Delaware County personal care homes average $4,200 – $7,800 and assisted living sits near $6,300 — but those figures exclude the medication and care-level charges that appear on the second invoice.
How long is the drive from Drexel Hill for a assisted living visit?
Roughly 5 minutes by car (1.5 miles) using Baltimore Pike, MacDade Boulevard and I-476, so evening assisted living visits from Drexel Hill are realistic rather than a weekend expedition.
What oversight applies to assisted living in Delaware County?
Pennsylvania DHS licenses personal care homes under 55 Pa. Code Chapter 2600 and inspects them on a published schedule. Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging (COSA) can also confirm which funding a Drexel Hill family qualifies for.
Is assisted living the same as a nursing home?
No. Assisted living provides help with daily activities in a residential setting, while nursing homes provide skilled medical care for residents with complex health needs. Bell Elite offers assisted living in a small, home-like environment with nurse oversight — the best of both worlds. For a Drexel Hill family specifically, that means a 5 minutes drive to our door via Baltimore Pike, MacDade Boulevard and I-476, with Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging (COSA) handling county funding questions.
What does assisted living include?
Bell Elite's assisted living includes 24-hour caregiver assistance, nurse-led medication management, three daily meals plus snacks, help with bathing/dressing/grooming, personal laundry, housekeeping, daily activities, and regular family communication — all in a small 6-resident home. For a Drexel Hill family specifically, that means a 5 minutes drive to our door via Baltimore Pike, MacDade Boulevard and I-476, with Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging (COSA) handling county funding questions.
What does the family portal include?
Shift notes, medications, appointments, documents and video calls, so family members outside Drexel Hill see the same information.
Does Bell Elite accept VA benefits for Drexel Hill veterans?
Yes. VA Aid and Attendance can offset roughly $2,100 a month of the $5,900 base rate for a qualifying veteran or surviving spouse, and we prepare the paperwork with the family. Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging (COSA) also screens Delaware County residents for state-funded care.
