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.

Total daily staff count from Pennsylvania inspection/licensing data (headcount snapshot), when reported.

Overview of Cathedral Village

Cathedral Village sits on East Cathedral Road in Philadelphia’s Roxborough neighborhood, part of Presbyterian Senior Living’s campus network. The 50-bed nursing unit is the clinical core of a larger continuing care community that also offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, home care, and respite stays. Jim Clancy serves as Executive Director. Chestnut Hill Hospital is 1.87 miles out, and the Walk Score of 69 puts the neighborhood in moderately walkable range.

Current occupancy in the nursing unit is 48%, with 24 of 50 beds filled and an average length of stay of 132 days. That puts Cathedral Village in mixed territory between short-stay rehab and longer-term placement.

Total nursing hours run 4 hours and 15 minutes per resident per day. Nurse aides carry 2 hours and 17 minutes of that; RNs and LPNs each contribute 41 minutes. The facility accepts Medicare and private pay.

The service line covers rehabilitation, personal care, transitional care, respite, end-of-life and comfort care, and an at-home services program for residents who move back into the community. On the amenity side, the campus includes an on-site Village College, an aquatic and fitness center, clay and fine arts studios, guest accommodations, and a beauty and barber salon. An active resident council is in place, and memory care is available on campus.

State inspections have tended to touch on areas including medication management, care planning and documentation, and dietary and food service.

For residents and families navigating a post-acute discharge, a longer-term nursing placement, or a move through multiple care levels without leaving campus, Cathedral Village offers that full continuum in northwest Philadelphia with staffing numbers that lean aide-forward and a service array that extends beyond the nursing unit.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care 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.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover memory care?

Pennsylvania Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, 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 memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 408 memory care communities in Pennsylvania. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community 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 memory care communities 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.
