Beyond finding a community, Philly Senior Advisor points Philadelphia-area families to the free and low-cost resources that help an older adult stay safe and supported — whether they're aging at home or planning a move. Here's where to start across Greater Philadelphia.
Core resources for Greater Philadelphia seniors
- Philadelphia Corporation for Aging (PCA) or your county AAA: free options counseling, benefits screening, and caregiver support for Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware, and Chester counties. The Pennsylvania Department of Aging connects families statewide.
- Community HealthChoices & LIFE: long-term care coverage for eligible seniors through DHS — see our Pennsylvania senior care hub.
- Veterans benefits: VA Aid & Attendance and the Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center; VA Caregiver Support Line 1-855-260-3274.
- Meals, transportation & senior centers: Meals on Wheels, non-emergency medical transport, and community senior centers throughout the metro.
- Verify a license: check any facility's record on the PA DHS facility locator (personal care/assisted living) or PA DOH facility search (nursing homes) before you tour.
