What to Consider About Assisted Living in Ambler

Ambler, Pa., is located just 16 miles from the center of Philadelphia, so it’s no surprise that it’s home to senior-friendly services and amenities such as senior centers and public transportation. Ambler has two assisted living facilities and another 56 located nearby. Also known as personal care homes, these facilities are regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services. Assisted living facilities offer assistance to seniors with activities associated with daily living such as dressing and bathing. Some have been designed to offer more specialized medical care to help seniors with disabilities.
