Memory Care Facility in Ardmore, PA

We quote one all-inclusive figure from $5,900 and Ardmore families reach the door in about 15 minutes by Route 1, I-476 and the Schuylkill Expressway.
Ardmore families ask us who memory care facility is really for. In practice: someone who needs help with secure, small-home environment with 6 residents maximum and specially trained caregivers in dementia and alzheimer's care, and whose family wants a nurse — not a rotating aide roster — making the calls. It also covers structured daily routine to reduce anxiety and confusion. The tour from Suburban Square takes about 15 minutes.
Hospitals discharge to a plan, not to a building. What we send back to Lankenau Medical Center (5 min) for a memory care facility resident is a documented medication schedule, a fall-risk assessment and a named nurse — which is why Montgomery County case managers use us when a family needs placement the same week.
