How much does Arden Courts (King of Prussia) cost per month?

Pennsylvania does not publish prices for individual homes, so ask Arden Courts (King of Prussia) for its written fee schedule and resident contract. This site's 2026 research puts typical Greater Philadelphia memory care at $6,200–$8,600/mo.

Personal care homes in the five counties range from small row-home operations to large campus buildings, and pricing follows: ask whether the rate is all-inclusive or base rent plus care levels, and what triggers a level change.

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.
