Seniors can choose from two types of facilities in Pennsylvania. Personal care homes offer basic assistance with activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing and grooming. While assisted living residences provide these services as well, they also provide basic nursing services. These facilities are licensed and regulated by the Department of Aging, Office of Long-Term Care. However, the Department of Welfare Adult Residential Licensing oversees personal care homes.
