Springfield Crossings has held a provisional license once since 2018 (October 14, 2022 – April 14, 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.

How much does Springfield Crossings cost per month?

Pennsylvania does not publish prices for individual homes, so ask Springfield Crossings 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.

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.

What should you ask when touring Springfield Crossings?

Start with the areas DHS already cited at Springfield Crossings — building condition and sanitation — and ask what changed after the inspection; then cover overnight staffing, the full fee schedule and move-out triggers.

• Who walks the building for maintenance and cleanliness, and how often?
• Do you accept residents whose income is SSI plus Pennsylvania's personal care home supplement?
• How do you handle a hospital discharge back to the home?
• What is the full monthly fee for my parent's care level, and what would trigger an increase?
• 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?

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 Springfield Crossings work?

Moving into Springfield Crossings starts with a preadmission screening and a medical evaluation, then a written assessment the home uses to build your parent's support plan.

• Resident contract. Chapter 2600 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.
• 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.

Most moves take two to four weeks once a room is available; a hospital discharge can compress that to days, which is when a second set of eyes on the contract helps most.
