Senior Living in Philadelphia, PA

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

What Philadelphia families find when they call around: $4,800 – $8,600 a month at Philadelphia County personal care homes, $6,900 as the assisted living median, and $32 – $36 an hour if they stay home with an aide.

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 senior living in Philadelphia 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 Center City tend to compare us with the large Philadelphia County campuses first; the difference they notice is six residents instead of sixty.

If you are searching for senior living specifically, the question worth asking on the tour is who supervises the care day to day. For Philadelphia families the answer here is a registered nurse who writes the plan, trains the caregivers, and speaks to the physicians at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (25 min) by name — not a regional manager two counties away.
