Full profile →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 |
Cost ranges: this site's Greater Philadelphia cost research; the state does not publish facility prices.
