What to Consider About Assisted Living in Slippery Rock

Slippery Rock is a borough located in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and its known for being the home place of Slippery Rock University. Though the area is popular with college students, almost 9 percent of the population is aged 65 years or older. To provide care and a comfortable place to live for these residents, Slippery Rock has two assisted living facilities.

Slippery Rock's assisted living facilities follow the state's categorization and are either referred to as assisted living residences or adult care homes. Adult care homes provide a higher level of care and are regulated by the Department of Public Welfare, while the Pennsylvania Department of Aging licenses assisted living residences.
