Personal Care Home in Haverford, PA

Montgomery County has no shortage of personal care home listings and very few homes where the same caregiver knows the same six people a year later. This page is written for the second kind of search.

Montgomery County has Main Line rates that run well above the Pennsylvania median, so personal care home prices here cluster between $5,200 – $9,400 a month depending on the license and the staffing model. Assisted living medians run near $7,600 and home care $33 – $38 an hour. Ours is one all-inclusive rate from $5,900, 5 miles and 15 minutes from Haverford.

What personal care home covers day to day: private or semi-private room in a 6-resident home, 24-hour caregiver assistance and supervision, nurse-led medication management and health monitoring, three home-cooked meals daily plus snacks and hydration. What it does not: skilled nursing, which needs a clinical facility and which we will tell you plainly before you move anyone from Haverford.

Haverford families asking about personal care home are usually weighing it against staying home with an aide. The honest comparison: an aide covers set hours and leaves, while personal care home here covers the overnight, the meals, the laundry, the medication and the nurse oversight for one all-inclusive price — and the door is still open to visitors from Haverford College at any reasonable hour.

The short answer

Bell Elite Senior Living provides personal care home for Haverford, PA families from a licensed 6-resident personal care home in Lansdowne, PA — 5 miles and about 15 minutes away — starting at $5,900 per month with daily registered-nurse oversight.
