Penn Assisted Care is an excellent assisted living community in Pennsburg, Pennsylvania. It is within fetching Montgomery County which is part of the Keystone State.
Penn Assisted Care is a licensed Personal Care Home providing a full range of Personal Care Services with the availability of professional medical care from third party providers.
It is our goal to provide high quality, low cost, community centered care in a home like environment. Our home accommodates up to 33 residents, large enough to provide high quality care while small enough to provide the personal attention our guests deserve.
At less than 1/3 of the cost of Traditional Nursing for any room accommodation, Pennsburg Assisted Care is affordable. There is no entry fee. The base monthly fee includes food, lodging, medication supervision, and most services required by many of our guests. Additional services are available if required. Combined with Social Security, Disability, or pension income, many guests will not have to draw down their savings to maintain a caring lifestyle.
Penn Assisted Care provides 3 meals daily plus afternoon and evening snacks. The house menu can accommodate most prescribed diets including soft, diabetic, and low salt diets. Food preferences and nutritional needs are considered for each individual guest. Special foods may be prepared at an additional fee if the dietary needs or food preferences of the guest cannot be accommodated by the house menu.
We will endeavor to involve all guests in activities to their level of interest. Your participation depends on you.
Enjoy scheduled morning and afternoon activities plus special in house events and occasional area trips. In house activities will vary from Wii Bowling, to Sports Talk, Bingo, Arts and Crafts, and Current Event Discussions. Enjoy summertime cookouts on the deck and trips to local points of interest. A trip to a Phillies game has been a summertime treat.
Volunteer and community groups are always welcome. Participation in town life is almost unavoidable. Parades, antique car shows, and other events are a few of the benefits of living in the Greater Pennsburg Area.
Most in house services are included in the base monthly fee. Many guests will not require additional services. An additional fee may be charged if the guest requires care beyond the scope of the services included in the base monthly fee. This policy keeps the regular base monthly fee low while providing for the needs of those persons that require additional care.
We work with other community organizations and providers to assure that all the needs of the guest are met. If payment for additional services provided by the home is financially impossible, there will be no charge.
