Memory Care in Pennsylvania

Overview of Memory Care in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is nicknamed “The Keystone State” because of the state’s integral role in the founding of the United States of America. Pennsylvania today is a perfect combination of quaint, rural farmland, rolling hills, and major urban centers like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

When it comes to Alzheimer’s care, PA has lots of great options. Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 300 senior living communities in Pennsylvania that provide memory care. A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors can help you find memory care communities in Pennsylvania that meet your family’s needs. As far as the cost of dementia care, PA memory care communities have a median monthly cost of about $5,400.
