MONTGOMERY COUNTY AGING & ADULT SERVICES
What to Consider About Assisted Living in Jenkintown
The Borough of Jenkintown is among the oldest boroughs in Montgomery County, with a history that stretches back to 1874. Among the city's most popular attractions is the Hiway Theater, a nonprofit community-based movie theater that opened in 1913. Today, the theater plays old and new films and hosts special events throughout the year. Seniors over 62 receive a discount on admission.
To support the senior population, this 4,400-person community has one assisted living facility. These are another 55 facilities located nearby, providing numerous options for seniors. These facilities are officially called "assisted living residences" or "personal care homes," depending on the level of care they provide. Assisted living residences are licensed through the Department of Aging, Office of Long-Term Living, Division of Licensing. Personal care homes are licensed through the Department of Public Welfare, Adult Residential Licensing.
