Personal Care Home in Cheltenham, PA
If you have already read three personal care home brochures with the same stock photos, you are not the problem — the Montgomery County market writes them all from the same template. Here are the local numbers, the license, and the honest limits of a six-resident home.
Home care in Montgomery County at $33 – $38 an hour covers about 40 hours a week; personal care homes publish $5,200 – $9,400 a month and assisted living sits near $7,600. For personal care home you get 24-hour coverage, meals and nurse oversight here for $5,900 a month all-inclusive, 20 minutes from Cheltenham on 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. Practically, Montgomery County families see it as private or semi-private room in a 6-resident home, 24-hour caregiver assistance and supervision, nurse-led medication management and health monitoring, plus the nurse oversight that makes the difference when a Cheltenham parent refuses a medication or stops eating.
Because the house holds six, a room turnover is a real decision rather than a spreadsheet line. That means Cheltenham families asking about personal care home get an honest answer about whether this setting suits their parent — including when a higher clinical level or a different county is the better choice.
The short answer
Bell Elite Senior Living provides personal care home for Cheltenham, PA families from a licensed 6-resident personal care home in Lansdowne, PA — 8 miles and about 20 minutes away — starting at $5,900 per month with daily registered-nurse oversight.

What is a personal care home?
A personal care home is a residential setting where seniors receive 24-hour assistance with daily living activities — bathing, dressing, medication management, meals, and personal care — in a small, home-like environment rather than a large institutional facility. For a Cheltenham family specifically, that means a 20 minutes drive to our door via Route 1, I-476 and the Schuylkill Expressway, with Montgomery County Aging and Adult Services handling county funding questions.
How is a personal care home different from a nursing home?
Personal care homes provide assistance with daily activities and medication management but do not provide skilled nursing services like IV therapy or wound care. They offer a more home-like, intimate setting with fewer residents, while nursing homes are larger, more clinical facilities for residents with complex medical needs. For a Cheltenham family specifically, that means a 20 minutes drive to our door via Route 1, I-476 and the Schuylkill Expressway, with Montgomery County Aging and Adult Services handling county funding questions.
Can a Cheltenham resident keep their own physician?
Yes. Residents keep their own physicians, and we transport to appointments around Abington Hospital (8 min) when personal care home needs outside care.
Does Bell Elite accept VA benefits for Cheltenham veterans?
Yes. VA Aid and Attendance can offset roughly $2,100 a month of the $5,900 base rate for a qualifying veteran or surviving spouse, and we prepare the paperwork with the family. Montgomery County Aging and Adult Services also screens Montgomery County residents for state-funded care.
