RESC (Residential Care): Personal care and daily-living support in a smaller, more intimate residential setting.

City and state of the facility. Used for mapping and state-average comparisons.
Licensed bed capacity (maximum allowed). Not the same as how many beds are currently filled.
Indicates whether residents are allowed to have pets in the facility.
Third-party neighborhood walkability score (0–100). Convenience/context metric, not a healthcare quality measure.
Name of the licensed owner, operator, or managing entity as filed with the state. Useful for grouping facilities under the same organization.
A 0–100 score of a facility's regulatory inspection record, shown as a letter and compared with other facilities of the same kind in the same state. This is a proprietary Assisted Living Magazine grade. It is not a government rating. A dash means we have no inspection data for that facility.
Count of regulatory inspections in the reporting window. Higher volume can reflect more oversight visits, complaint-driven surveys, or routine licensure cycles.
Number of inspections triggered by complaints or allegations. Useful for spotting facilities that receive frequent complaint-driven scrutiny.
Share of inspections that resulted in citations, expressed as a percentage of total inspections in the window.
Total count of citations (cited regulatory issues) recorded in the selected reporting period. Read alongside inspection counts for context.
The average number of citations this facility receives each time it's inspected, calculated as total citations ÷ total inspections. A lower number suggests more consistent compliance with safety and care standards.
Reported profit orientation for the operator or facility (e.g. for-profit vs nonprofit), as provided in state licensing or disclosure data.
Total daily staff count from Pennsylvania inspection/licensing data (headcount snapshot), when reported.
The total number of staff employed per resident. A number greater than or = to 1 is a positive care signal.

Overview of Juniper Village at Bucks County

Juniper Village at Bucks County offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing in Bensalem, PA. Short term rehabilitation and respite care are also available. Independent living provides private living without daily care, while assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care offers a secured, supervised setting, and skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site.

The range of care levels can suit a resident whose support needs grow over time, since moving to another level may not require leaving the community. Studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom residences are available, including a two bedroom layout that can accommodate a couple moving together. Rehabilitation services and short term rehabilitation provide a temporary setting for recovery after illness, injury, or hospitalization. Respite care offers a short stay when a regular caregiver needs relief or when a family is considering longer term arrangements.

Named programs include Wellspring Memory Care and Long Term Skilled Care, giving families specific program names to match with the resident’s needs. Medicare and private pay are accepted. Medicare generally applies to eligible short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence, while private pay means paying the community directly.

Total nurse staffing is 6 hours and 30 minutes per resident per day, with licensed nurse staffing from RNs and LPNs at 3 hours and 22 minutes per resident per day. These figures represent the nursing coverage available across daily care. The community has 24 hour staffing, so staff are present around the clock, including overnight. There are 60 beds and 67% occupancy, so availability can vary by care level and housing type.

A Walk Score of 46 out of 100 is car dependent, meaning most errands require a car or a ride, which matters for a resident who no longer drives. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in. Juniper Village At Bensalem Operations LLC operates the community.

Overview of Masonic Village at Sewickley-Star Points Building

Masonic Village at Sewickley-Star Points Building works out of Sewickley, PA, with nursing home care, skilled nursing, independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Assisted living covers the daily tasks and stops there. Memory care is secured, supervised care on account of wandering risks. Skilled nursing brings the licensed part, while independent living comes with community services and no daily care attached to it.

Five levels of care in one place means the place suits a family whose person is likely to need more help later than now. Sixty-four beds are under the license, and Masonic Villages of The Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania is the operating entity.

Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are the three available payment routes here. Medicaid opens when savings won’t cover a longer stay, and, rather than a permanent address, Medicare pays for a short skilled course of care after a hospital stay. Private pay is money handed straight across. What a family usually has to work out is how long each route lasts.

Nursing time posts at 4 hours and 27 minutes a day for one resident. Short-term rehabilitation is available for temporary recovery stays. The Barley Wellness Center is a named program, and wellness programs, recreation, clubs, and live entertainment are among the amenities.

Pets are allowed, so a resident moving in can bring one along. The walk score is 87 out of 100, and that means the surrounding area is very walkable; for the independent living side especially, that decides how much of an ordinary day happens off the property.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Pennsylvania

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Pennsylvania?

Assisted living in Pennsylvania supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Pennsylvania?

Assisted living in Pennsylvania is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover assisted living?

Pennsylvania Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Pennsylvania) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is assisted living?

Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.

How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?

This page features 458 assisted living facilities in Pennsylvania. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Pennsylvania?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Pennsylvania, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Pennsylvania?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
