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
