Assisted Living in Haverford, PA

A Haverford family usually calls three places in one afternoon when they start looking at assisted living. What separates them is rarely the tour — it is whether the home is licensed in Montgomery County, who writes the care plan, and whether the price on the website survives the first invoice.

Price the assisted living market in Montgomery County honestly and the band is wide: $5,200 – $9,400 a month for personal care, about $7,600 for assisted living, $33 – $38 an hour for home care that stops at 40 hours. We quote one all-inclusive figure from $5,900 and Haverford families reach the door in about 15 minutes by Route 1, I-476 and the Schuylkill Expressway.

Older adults who need help with daily living activities but want to remain in a warm, home-like setting rather than an institutional facility. For assisted living in Haverford that usually looks like private or semi-private room in a 6-resident home, 24-hour caregiver assistance and supervision, nurse-led medication management and health monitoring — with the plan written by a nurse rather than assigned by a sales office. Families near Haverford College tend to compare us with the large Montgomery County campuses first; the difference they notice is six residents instead of sixty.

For assisted living to be safe, the medication list has to be owned by one clinician. Here the nurse orders, pours, documents and reconciles it with the pharmacy, and calls the physicians at Lankenau Medical Center (5 min) directly rather than passing messages through a family.
