Personal Care Home in Havertown, PA

Families in Havertown usually start this search after a hospital stay or a fall, and what they need is a straight answer: what personal care home costs in Delaware County, who is licensed to provide it, and how far it is from home.

Home care in Delaware County at $30 – $34 an hour covers about 40 hours a week; personal care homes publish $4,200 – $7,800 a month and assisted living sits near $6,300. For personal care home you get 24-hour coverage, meals and nurse oversight here for $5,900 a month all-inclusive, 10 minutes from Havertown on Baltimore Pike, MacDade Boulevard and I-476.

Older adults who need help with daily living activities but want to remain in a warm, home-like setting rather than an institutional facility. For personal care home in Havertown that usually looks like private or semi-private room in a 6-resident home, 24-hour caregiver assistance and supervision, nurse-led medication management and health monitoring — with the plan written by a nurse rather than assigned by a sales office. Families near Haverford College tend to compare us with the large Delaware County campuses first; the difference they notice is six residents instead of sixty.

For personal care home to be safe, the medication list has to be owned by one clinician. Here the nurse orders, pours, documents and reconciles it with the pharmacy, and calls the physicians at Lankenau Medical Center (15 min) directly rather than passing messages through a family.
