What to Consider About Assisted Living in Sarver

Sarver is a small community that is located just outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The community is part of Buffalo township, which is home to about 7,300 residents, nearly 18% of whom are senior citizens aged 65 or older. To support the town's aged population, there are two assisted living facilities in Sarver with an additional 61 located in surrounding areas.

The Maryland Department of Human Services is responsible for monitoring the operation of these facilities in Sarver and throughout the state, which are officially known as Assisted Living Programs (ALPs). 

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Sarver

  • The Sarver area is home to world-class medical facilities, including ACMH Hospital, in the event of medical emergencies or illness. 
  • Even though the cost of living in Sarver and throughout Buffalo township is 6% higher than the national average, healthcare and grocery costs are well below, which may make Sarver a great option for seniors on a budget. 
  • Crime rates in Sarver and Buffalo township are substantially lower than both the state and national averages. Even with lower-than-average crime, it's always a good idea to ensure that assisted living facilities have security systems in place to keep residents safe. 
  • Winters in Sarver are rather cold with an average low temperature in January of only 18 degrees. Some seniors may prefer to find assisted living options in an area with a warmer climate. 
  • There are no public transportation options in Sarver, which means that seniors may need to rely on shuttle services or family members to transport them to medical appointments. 
  • Pennsylvania exempts all social security income and pension income from taxes, which leaves more room in the budget for seniors to pay for assisted living and related expenses.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Sarver

Pennsylvania's Medicaid system and government-funded financial aid programs don't cover the cost of assisted living services. Seniors who require financial aid and receive Supplemental Security Income may be eligible to receive an Optional State Supplement that can help them to pay for their care.

Room and board charges are capped by the state for seniors who receive SSI and the state does allow family supplementation, provided it's paid directly to the senior's care facility. 

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