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.

Overview of Oakbridge Terrace at Normandy Farms Estates

Oakbridge Terrace at Normandy Farms Estates offers nursing home care, assisted living, hospice care, independent living, memory care, palliative care, and skilled nursing in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living helps with tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision, and skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Hospice and palliative care focus on comfort. The range of care levels can suit a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to a different community. The community has 58 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other.

Rehabilitation services and short term rehab provide time limited support focused on recovery. Respite care offers a short stay when someone’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover, and 24 hour staffing means staff are available around the clock. A Walk Score of 48 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride; a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips. Oakbridge Terrace at Normandy Farms Estates is operated by Acts Retirement Life Communities.

The Terraces at Capitol Village

4004 Linglestown Rd, Harrisburg, PA 17112
Overview of The Terraces at Capitol Village

The Terraces at Capitol Village is at 4004 Linglestown Rd in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, run by Capitol Operator LLC as an assisted living, memory care, and respite care community. The building itself is single-story, 64 beds, but the housing options inside have real range: studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms, running from about 285 square feet up to 1,100 square feet.

Occupancy is high, 84%, meaning 54 of the 64 beds are currently filled. As for getting around outside the building, the Walk Score sits at 33 out of 100. That’s “somewhat walkable,” so a handful of nearby services can be reached on foot, though most errands are still going to mean getting in a car.

Staffing-wise, licensed nurses and CNAs are on duty around the clock. And the services offered go past basic supervision. There’s rehabilitation care, short-term rehab, respite stays built for families who need a temporary bridge, and personal care support for everyday living tasks.

Meals are chef-prepared daily. Residents can also make use of an on-site beauty salon, a spa, and a chapel, for anyone who wants a quiet place to reflect or worship. Add in transportation services and fitness and recreation programming, plus a running activities calendar and religious services for those who want to take part. Regulatory inspections at this location have tended to focus on a fairly predictable set of areas: medication management, staffing and staff credentials, care planning and documentation, and resident rights and protections.

So what does all of this add up to? A community built around range, short-term rehab, respite care, ongoing assisted living, and memory care, housed across units sized for different needs, with round-the-clock nursing and a genuinely full slate of daily comforts backing it all up.

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.
