What to Consider About Assisted Living in Clearfield
The Borough of Clearfield is the seat of Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and home to about 6,200 residents, nearly 20% of whom are seniors.

Seniors who need help with daily living activities and no longer wish to bear the responsibilities of homeownership may transition to assisted living.

There are two assisted living facilities in Clearfield and one in nearby Curwensville.
