The Remington of Yardley

Is The Remington of Yardley licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services?

Yes. The Remington of Yardley at 255 Oxford Valley Road, Yardley, PA 19067 holds an active Pennsylvania DHS license as an Assisted Living Residence, license number 147720, for up to 115 residents. The DHS Provider Directory lists its status as Licensed with a full license as of October 24, 2026.

The Assisted Living Residence license (Chapter 2800, created by Act 56 of 2007) is the less common of Pennsylvania's two categories: only 4 of the 54 licensed homes in Bucks County hold it. An ALR must offer private living units with a kitchen area and bathroom and can provide more health-related services, so residents can age in place longer than in a typical personal care home.

Pennsylvania licenses are renewed yearly after an inspection. The Remington of Yardley's current Certificate of Compliance runs from September 14, 2026 to September 14, 2027.

Verify it yourself: search license 147720 or the home's name in the DHS Human Services Provider Directory, then open “Inspection Summary” and “Certificate”.

The Remington of Yardley has held a provisional license once since 2018 (August 10, 2022 – February 10, 2023). DHS issues a six-month provisional license instead of a regular one when a home is not in full compliance at renewal; the home has since returned to a full license. Ask what the problems were and what changed.

Does The Remington of Yardley have a secured memory care unit?

Yes. The Remington of Yardley's DHS certificate approves a Special Care Unit with capacity for 21 residents — about 18% of its 115 licensed beds. Pennsylvania regulates these units under 55 Pa. Code §§2800.231–239 rather than through a separate memory care license.

Admission to a secured unit requires a written assessment showing the resident needs that level of protection, and the home must give families a disclosure of the unit's services, staffing and costs. Ask for that disclosure in writing.

How much does The Remington of Yardley cost per month?

Pennsylvania does not publish prices for individual homes, so ask The Remington of Yardley for its written fee schedule and resident contract. This site's 2026 research puts typical Greater Philadelphia assisted living at $4,800–$6,900/mo, with secured dementia care usually in the $6,200–$8,600/mo range.

Assisted Living Residences usually price above personal care homes because of the private-unit and service requirements of Chapter 2800; ask whether care is billed as levels, points or à la carte.

Medicare does not pay for personal care home or assisted living rent. Community HealthChoices (Pennsylvania's Medicaid long-term-care program) does not cover room and board, and some homes accept residents whose income is SSI plus the state supplement for personal care home residents — see our SSI supplement guide. VA Aid & Attendance and long-term care insurance can also help.

What should you ask when touring The Remington of Yardley?

Start with the areas DHS already cited at The Remington of Yardley — resident health screening and medical evaluations, assessments, support plans and services, the secured dementia / special care unit — and ask what changed after the inspection; then cover overnight staffing, the full fee schedule and move-out triggers.

• How do you track each resident's annual medical evaluation and follow-up appointments?
• How often is my parent's support plan updated, and can family attend that meeting?
• How is the dementia unit secured, how many staff work there each shift, and what dementia training do they complete?
• Which care needs would require a move to a nursing home?
• How long have the administrator and the head of resident care been in their roles?
• Is a nurse on site every day, and who covers nights and weekends?
• What happens if a resident runs out of private funds?
• Can we visit at mealtime and in the evening without an appointment?

Visit twice — once at a meal — and read the resident contract before paying anything. If problems come up later, the Long-Term Care Ombudsman can help, and DHS takes complaints at 1-877-401-8835.

How does moving into The Remington of Yardley work?

Before anyone moves into The Remington of Yardley, Pennsylvania rules require a preadmission screening, a recent medical evaluation and a signed resident contract.

• Resident contract. Chapter 2800 requires a written contract listing the fee for each service, refund rules and the notice the home must give before a discharge or rate change. Take it home before signing.
• Assessment and support plan. The home assesses each new resident and writes a support plan within the first 30 days, then updates it at least yearly and whenever needs change.
• Secured unit admission. Placement in The Remington of Yardley's 21-bed Special Care Unit requires a written assessment that the secured setting is needed; ask what would move a resident between the general and secured areas.
• Medications. Ask who administers medications, how they are trained, and whether your parent may self-administer.
• Payment. Rent and care are mostly private pay; ask about deposits, community fees and how a hospital stay affects billing.

If The Remington of Yardley has no opening, ask to join its waitlist and keep touring — availability at larger Greater Philadelphia homes changes month to month.
