Assisted Living & Memory Care · Harleysville, PA

Overview of The Birches at Harleysville

The Birches at Harleysville provides assisted living and memory care in Harleysville, Pennsylvania. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks while a resident keeps a private living space. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering. Having both care levels in one community may suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move elsewhere.

The community has 85 beds and is currently at 100% occupancy, so all beds are filled. Respite care offers a short term stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Therapy and rehabilitation are available on site, allowing a resident to receive those services within the community instead of arranging separate transportation.

A secured patio, walking path, and garden area provide outdoor space within a secured setting. Scheduled activities include Coffee and Chat, Baking Buddies, and Coupon Clipping, with opportunities for conversation, baking, and clipping coupons. Meals are served in an open dining room and prepared with fresh ingredients and flavorful food pairings, and residents may keep pets.

The area has a Walk Score of 48, making it car dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride. Community transportation is also available for trips that would otherwise require another way to get there. Care Hsl Harleysville Opco operates The Birches at Harleysville.
