Senior Day Program in Drexel Hill, PA

Most Drexel Hill inquiries about senior day program arrive the same week as a hospital discharge or a home-safety scare. This page answers the two questions that decide it: who is clinically responsible, and what the Delaware County price includes.

A Drexel Hill family budgeting senior day program should know three Delaware County numbers: $4,200 – $7,800 a month for personal care, $6,300 as the assisted-living median, and $30 – $34 an hour for home care. Our all-inclusive rate starts at $5,900 and covers the overnight, the meals and the nurse oversight — about 5 minutes away via Baltimore Pike, MacDade Boulevard and I-476.

What senior day program covers day to day: flexible stays from a few days to several weeks, same nurse-led care as our long-term residents, private or semi-private room with all amenities, all meals, snacks, and personal care included. What it does not: skilled nursing, which needs a clinical facility and which we will tell you plainly before you move anyone from Drexel Hill.

One question worth asking any Delaware County provider about senior day program: who is awake overnight? Not on call, awake. Ours is a caregiver who knows the resident's baseline, and a nurse reachable in minutes — that is the difference between a fall caught early and a night in Delaware County Memorial Hospital (5 min).

The short answer

Bell Elite Senior Living provides senior day program for Drexel Hill, PA families from a licensed 6-resident personal care home in Lansdowne, PA — 1.5 miles and about 5 minutes away — starting at $5,900 per month with daily registered-nurse oversight.

Senior Day Program in Drexel Hill — Frequently Asked Questions

Is senior day program in Delaware County affordable on private pay?

Our senior day program range runs $5,900 to $7,500 all-inclusive. Delaware County personal care homes average $4,200 – $7,800 and assisted living sits near $6,300 — but those figures exclude the medication and care-level charges that appear on the second invoice.

How long is the drive from Drexel Hill for a senior day program visit?

Roughly 5 minutes by car (1.5 miles) using Baltimore Pike, MacDade Boulevard and I-476, so evening senior day program visits from Drexel Hill are realistic rather than a weekend expedition.

What oversight applies to senior day program in Delaware County?

Pennsylvania DHS licenses personal care homes under 55 Pa. Code Chapter 2600 and inspects them on a published schedule. Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging (COSA) can also confirm which funding a Drexel Hill family qualifies for.

Is the day program only for residents?

Bell Elite's day program is part of our residential care. While we don't currently offer a standalone adult day program, our respite care program offers short-term stays that include full participation in all daily activities. For a Drexel Hill family specifically, that means a 5 minutes drive to our door via Baltimore Pike, MacDade Boulevard and I-476, with Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging (COSA) handling county funding questions.

What is a senior day program?

A senior day program provides structured daytime activities, social engagement, meals, and care for seniors. Bell Elite offers a comprehensive daily program for our residents, including activities, social interaction, and nurse-led care throughout the day. For a Drexel Hill family specifically, that means a 5 minutes drive to our door via Baltimore Pike, MacDade Boulevard and I-476, with Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging (COSA) handling county funding questions.

What happens if a resident needs hospital care at Delaware County Memorial Hospital (5 min)?

The nurse sends the plan and medication list with the resident, coordinates with Delaware County Memorial Hospital (5 min), and manages the return instructions.

Does Bell Elite accept VA benefits for Drexel Hill 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. Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging (COSA) also screens Delaware County residents for state-funded care.
