Where can you find licensed memory care in Greater Philadelphia?
125 DHS-licensed homes in Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware and Chester counties have a Secure Dementia Care Unit (personal care homes) or Special Care Unit (assisted living residences) on their current Certificate of Compliance, with 4,049 secured beds in all (Philadelphia 6, Montgomery 48, Bucks 29, Delaware 15, Chester 27).
14 of them are dedicated memory care homes where every licensed bed is in the secured unit (for example Arden Courts (King of Prussia), Arden Courts (Warminster), Arden Courts (Yardley)); the rest pair a secured unit with general personal care or assisted living, so a resident can move within the same community as needs change. Pennsylvania has no separate memory care license — the unit approval on the DHS certificate is what to verify.

What is the difference between assisted living and memory care in Pennsylvania?
Assisted living in Pennsylvania is a DHS-licensed Personal Care Home or Assisted Living Residence that provides housing, meals and personal care; memory care is a secured dementia unit inside one of those licensed homes. Neither is a nursing home, and Pennsylvania has no separate memory care license.
| Assisted living (PCH or ALR) | Memory care (secured dementia / special care unit) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who licenses it | PA DHS — a Personal Care Home (55 Pa. Code Ch. 2600) or an Assisted Living Residence (Ch. 2800) | PA DHS approves a Secure Dementia Care Unit (PCH) or Special Care Unit (ALR) inside a licensed home; it appears on the home's certificate |
| What it is | Housing, meals, personal care and help with medications | A secured unit for residents with Alzheimer's or another dementia, with added staff training and programming |
| What it isn't | Not a nursing home — no 24-hour skilled nursing (an ALR can offer more health services than a PCH) | Not a separate license — Pennsylvania has no stand-alone memory care license |
| Who it fits | Adults who need help with daily activities but not round-the-clock nursing | People whose dementia makes an unsecured setting unsafe |
| Typical Greater Philadelphia cost | $4,800–$6,900/mo (2026) | $6,200–$8,600/mo (2026) |
| Who pays | Mostly private pay; Medicare does not pay rent, and Community HealthChoices does not cover room and board | Same — ask each home which public programs it accepts for care services |

Frequently asked questions
How do you verify a Pennsylvania personal care home license?
Search the home's name or license number in the DHS Human Services Provider Directory; the result shows the license status and type, capacity, and links to its inspection summaries and certificates.
What does a provisional license mean?
DHS issues a provisional license when a home is not in full compliance with the regulations at renewal; it can be renewed up to three times while the home corrects violations. 1 home on this list currently holds one.
Does Medicaid pay for memory care in a Pennsylvania personal care home?
No — Community HealthChoices does not pay room and board in a personal care home or assisted living residence, so secured dementia care is mostly private pay. Long-term Medicaid coverage of room and board is available in a nursing home.
How often is this directory updated?
We re-pull the DHS Provider Directory, certificates and inspection summaries and the CMS files quarterly; this page was last verified in October 2026.
