Talk to a Nurse, Not a Salesperson

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).

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.
