How Philly Senior Advisor works

For most Philadelphia families, the whole thing — first search to move-in — takes about two weeks.

📋1

Tell us what's going on

A few honest questions — care level, budget, part of town, and how soon you need to move. You stay anonymous until you decide to share contact details.

🤝2

We hand-pick 1–3 options

A local advisor reads your answers and picks one to three verified communities that fit — not a dumped list of a dozen.

🔑3

Tour, decide, move in

We set up the tours, help you make sense of the quotes, and stick with you through the paperwork and move-in day. Always free.

Common questions

Who licenses assisted living communities in Philadelphia?
Pennsylvania splits senior-care licensing across two agencies. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) licenses Personal Care Homes (PCH) under 55 Pa. Code Chapter 2600 and Assisted Living Residences (ALR) under 55 Pa. Code Chapter 2800 (Act 56 of 2007). Nursing homes are licensed separately by the Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) under 28 Pa. Code Chapter 211. Families can verify a community's license and inspection history at the correct PA DHS or DOH facility search.
How does Medicaid help pay for care?
Pennsylvania's Community HealthChoices (CHC) program, delivered through DHS's Office of Long-Term Living, can cover personal care services in a Personal Care Home or Assisted Living Residence setting or at home for those who qualify. The LIFE program (Pennsylvania's version of the National PACE model) is a separate option for eligible seniors who want to stay at home. Neither generally covers room and board. Our advisors help you understand eligibility, which you apply for through PA COMPASS or a County Assistance Office.
What cities/areas do you serve?
Philadelphia, Norristown, King of Prussia, Abington, Lansdale, Ambler, Doylestown, Bensalem, Newtown, Media, Upper Darby, Springfield, West Chester, Downingtown, and Malvern — across Philadelphia (a consolidated city-county) and the Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware, and Chester County suburbs throughout Greater Philadelphia.
How much does assisted living cost around Philadelphia?
Standard assisted living in Greater Philadelphia generally runs $4,800 to $6,900 a month, while memory care runs $6,200 to $8,600 a month. Costs vary by area — Main Line suburbs (Bryn Mawr, Wayne, Villanova), Chester County, and parts of Bucks County skew highest; North and Northeast Philadelphia and parts of Delaware County run comparatively lower.
How fast can a parent move in?
Most non-urgent moves close in 7–14 days. Hospital discharges from Penn Medicine, Jefferson, Temple, or Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia can sometimes happen the same day.
Can the Area Agency on Aging or VA benefits help?
The Philadelphia Corporation for Aging (PCA) offers guidance for Philadelphia residents, and each collar county has its own Area Agency on Aging — Montgomery County Aging and Adult Services, Bucks County Area Agency on Aging, Delaware County Office of Services for the Aging, and Chester County Department of Aging Services — along with the Pennsylvania Department of Aging for statewide benefits counseling. Veterans can reach the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center for benefits guidance, including Aid & Attendance.
Is my information shared with lots of companies?
No. We hand-pick one to three options that actually fit. What you tell us stays with our local Philadelphia team — we don't resell it, ever.
What does this service cost families?
Nothing — it's free for families. We only get paid by the community your loved one moves into, and only once they've actually moved in.
