The 10 Best Assisted Living Facilities in Lansdale, PA for 2024

Lansdale is a borough in Pennsylvania’s Montgomery County, about 40 minutes northwest of downtown Philadelphia. According to the 2020 census, 14.7% of its 18,773 residents are aged 65 and older. The area’s low levels of crime, excellent medical facilities and multiple low-cost transportation options factor greatly in Lansdale’s appeal to seniors. For entertainment, seniors can visit the DCP Theatre or Bucks County Playhouse; those who prefer big-screen action can choose from three movie theaters. More energetic seniors can play on Lansdale’s eight public golf courses and wander through the labyrinth in Stony Creek Park.

Assisted living communities are safe options for aging seniors who find themselves struggling to handle everyday tasks such as housekeeping on their own. This type of living can be great for seniors determined to hold on to most of their independence while their meals are prepared by accomplished chefs and their rooms kept tidy by dedicated housekeepers. The typical cost for assisted living in Lansdale is $5.550 per month, which is approximately 33.5% above the state average.

This guide reviews assisted living costs in this part of Pennsylvania, discusses the pros and cons of living in Lansdale, and lists some free resources for its seniors.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Lansdale

Assisted living facilities in Pennsylvania are regulated and licensed by the Department of Human Services. Its authority includes making unannounced inspections to ensure facilities continue to meet state and local laws regarding the safety and care of their residents, including fire safety regulations. The work of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman can also factor in licensing decisions.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Lansdale

  • According to Sperling’s Best Places, the average cost of living in Lansdale is above national and state averages. Using cost of living indices that set the national average as 100, Lansdale’s overall figure is 103.6. However, some of those above-average costs come from areas that shouldn’t concern seniors in assisted living too much, such as utility and housing costs. Better yet, Lansdale’s average health costs are actually below average. 
  • TransNet’s Shared Ride Program transports adults age 65 and over around Montgomery County for reduced fees. Seniors can use the curb-to-curb service for any purpose, including arranging group trips with friends using the program’s sedans and vans. Alternatively, SEPTA, the local transit authority, offers free and subsidized transport services in several neighboring counties, including paratransit options for the disabled.
  • The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue can provide a property tax rebate of up to $650 for homeowners aged 65 and over whose incomes don’t exceed $35,000 per year. Qualifying seniors can see this rebate boosted up to a maximum of $975. 
  • Lansdale is a safe place for seniors. Statistics published by Neighborhood Scout reveal the property crime rate to be half the national average and two-thirds the state average. The rate of violent crime is even lower at a third of the national average and significantly below Pennsylvania’s average. Seniors in many assisted living communities also benefit from 24/7 surveillance systems and staff. 
  • Health care in Lansdale is capably handled by Jefferson Lansdale Hospital and a large number of Medicare-registered physicians who work in a range of disciplines, including orthopedic surgery and physical therapy. Lansdale’s seniors are within an hour’s journey of six of the top 10 hospitals in the state.
  • Although the area gets about 22 inches of snow per year, the average climate is among the best in the state, with temperatures averaging 22 degrees in winter and 84 in summer.
