Questions

Pennsylvania nursing homes FAQs

What's the difference between a personal care home and assisted living in Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania licenses both 'personal care homes' and 'assisted living residences.' Both provide help with daily activities and medication in a residential setting; assisted living residences are held to additional standards that support aging in place. Our advisors can explain which fits your loved one's needs.
