Personal Care Home in Bryn Mawr, PA
Bryn Mawr sits in Montgomery County, where the price of personal care home swings by thousands of dollars a month depending on the setting — and the license behind the building matters more than the lobby.
Price the personal care home 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 Bryn Mawr families reach the door in about 18 minutes by Route 1, I-476 and the Schuylkill Expressway.
Bryn Mawr families ask us who personal care home 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 Bryn Mawr College takes about 18 minutes.
Hospitals discharge to a plan, not to a building. What we send back to Bryn Mawr Hospital (3 min) for a personal care home 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.
The short answer
Bell Elite Senior Living provides personal care home for Bryn Mawr, PA families from a licensed 6-resident personal care home in Lansdowne, PA — 6 miles and about 18 minutes away — starting at $5,900 per month with daily registered-nurse oversight.
