What to Consider About Assisted Living in Bala Cynwyd

Bala Cynwyd is the whimsically named northwestern suburb of Philadelphia, where the urban sprawl of America's first capital begins to flow into forested suburbs and old stone houses set back from the twisting lanes. A little more than 17% of Montgomery County's nearly 830,000 people are seniors aged 65 and over, though the county only has 14 assisted living facilities to serve their need for safe and comfortable senior care.

These assisted living communities in Bala Cynwyd, like all residential care facilities in the state, are inspected and licensed through the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Bala Cynwyd

  • The weather in Bala Cynwyd tends to be mild in summer, though winters can get a bit cold for temperature-sensitive seniors. Summer highs in this part of the Philadelphia region average 87 degrees, while winter lows average 26. Bala Cynwyd gets 41.5 inches of rain and close to 23 inches of snow each year.
  • The cost of living in Bala Cynwyd can be high for some seniors. Overall, costs here run to almost 50% higher than the national average for all common expense categories combined. Healthcare in Bala Cynwyd is more affordable, but seniors here still pay 15% higher costs than is typical nationally.
  • Crime rates in Bala Cynwyd are extremely low. Seniors who live in this part of the northeastern Philadelphia area experience less than 15% of the crime similar-sized cities get nationwide. Even this low rate of crime is mostly minor thefts and some property offenses, while violent crime is even less common.
  • The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) provides much of the public transportation in Bala Cynwyd. This network offers locals throughout the region regularly scheduled bus and rail service, which seniors enjoy for free with a valid SEPTA ID card. State senior cards are not accepted for discount fares after September 2018. Rides across the state line into New Jersey and Delaware are half-price for seniors.
  • The Bala Cynwyd area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Roxborough Memorial Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
  • Bala Cynwyd has an array of community resources for seniors, including the New Horizons Senior Center, an organization that conducts classes for seniors on topics such as tech literacy, financial matters and basic wellness, as well as more than a dozen senior centers.
