Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Pennsylvania page.

Free Assisted Living Resources in Lansdale

Montgomery County and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania provide a range of free resources for seniors. The area is also home to nonprofit organizations that provide opportunities for seniors to give back to their communities.

ResourceContactService
Montgomery County Veterans Affairs(610) 278-3285Operated entirely by other vets, the free service can help U.S. military veterans identify and apply for benefits they're entitled to. The staff can help seniors in assisted living discover whether they qualify for VA Aid and Attendance benefits and other state and federal benefits not directly linked to vets.
RSVP Volunteer Programs(610) 834-1040RSVP is a nonprofit organization that helps seniors find volunteer opportunities with other nonprofits in their communities. Seniors determine how much time they can spare helping others and RSVP refers them to the appropriate service. Potential positions include serving as a counselor to advise other seniors about Medicare plans, mentoring younger residents, or delivering meals to homebound residents of Lansdale.
North Penn Community Education Gold Card Program(215) 853-1028Gold Cards are issued to Montgomery County residents aged 60 and over, allowing them free admission to a range of events taking place in various colleges in the North Penn School District. Seniors can join the crowds at sports events, take in theater performances or listen to live music performed by students. The card can also gain seniors free or reduced-rate access to some educational courses.
The PEAK Center in Lansdale(215) 362-7432Operating from two convenient locations, The PEAK Center provides a range of services and programs for Lansdale's older residents. Services include the use of the computer lab and access to various classes designed to improve fitness, such as tai chi and yoga. The centers also provide seniors with information about local benefits, such as farmers markets vouchers and legal counseling.
Long-Term Care Ombudsman(610) 860-5050The free services of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman's office are available for residents of assisted living facilities who can't independently resolve issues relating to their quality of care. Residents' families and concerned third parties may also register complaints with the ombudsman. Every complaint is investigated, with complaints relating to neglect or abuse referred to the relevant authorities.

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.
