What to Consider About Assisted Living in Sellersville

Inspectors conduct regular checks of all state-licensed residential facilities to ensure compliance with state laws designed to promote resident health and safety. 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Sellersville

  • Sellersville is situated less than 40 miles north of downtown Philadelphia, making it easy for area seniors to access urban healthcare services and visit shopping centers and attractions without the high cost associated with living in a large city. 
  • Summers in Sellersville are warm and sunny, while winters are cold and snowy, making this area ideal for retirees who enjoy experiencing all four seasons. 
  • Sellersville is home to the Grand View Hospital, a large acute care facility with an emergency department, imaging services and outpatient clinic. 
  • Although the overall cost of living is somewhat higher than state and nationwide norms, the cost of health care services is over 6% below the national median and 3% lower than the Pennsylvania average. 
  • Violent and property crime rates in Sellersville are below the nationwide averages, which means residents in this area are less likely to be victims of crime than people in many other locations throughout the United States.
