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.
