Elder Care in Clifton Heights, PA

The Clifton Heights families who call us about elder care have usually toured one large Delaware County campus already. What sent them looking again was not the price — it was the ratio, the turnover, or the feeling of a hallway with sixty doors.

Home care in Delaware County at $30 – $34 an hour covers about 40 hours a week; personal care homes publish $4,200 – $7,800 a month and assisted living sits near $6,300. For elder care you get 24-hour coverage, meals and nurse oversight here for $5,900 a month all-inclusive, 4 minutes from Clifton Heights on Baltimore Pike, MacDade Boulevard and I-476.

Clifton Heights families ask us who elder care 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 Clifton Heights Shopping District takes about 4 minutes.

Hospitals discharge to a plan, not to a building. What we send back to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital (5 min) for a elder care resident is a documented medication schedule, a fall-risk assessment and a named nurse — which is why Delaware County case managers use us when a family needs placement the same week.
