Memory Support in Ardmore, PA

Montgomery County is Main Line rates that run well above the Pennsylvania median. Personal care rates run $5,200 – $9,400 a month, the assisted living median sits near $7,600, and home care at $33 – $38 an hour buys roughly 40 hours a week.

For memory support in Ardmore that usually looks like secure, small-home environment with 6 residents maximum, specially trained caregivers in dementia and alzheimer's care, nurse-led medication management and behavioral support — with the plan written by a nurse rather than assigned by a sales office. Families near Suburban Square tend to compare us with the large Montgomery County campuses first; the difference they notice is six residents instead of sixty.
If you are searching for memory support specifically, the question worth asking on the tour is who supervises the care day to day. For Ardmore families the answer here is a registered nurse who writes the plan, trains the caregivers, and speaks to the physicians at Lankenau Medical Center (5 min) by name — not a regional manager two counties away.
