Personal Care for Seniors

We care about helping our residents fully experience retirement life. Our quality personal care program is similar to personal care living, offering an independent lifestyle with 24/7 access to an on-site nurse.

Our personal care plan provides individualized care for residents who need support for daily activities and general medical support. We welcome you to become a part of our supportive personal care living community today!

Personal Care in Lansdale

We take personal care plans seriously — our goal is to provide each resident with an experience to meet their needs, hobbies and medical care. Each of our customizable lifestyle, financial and healthcare services is explained below.

What Personal Care Looks Like

A personal care program with Elm Terrace offers an independent, self-directed lifestyle for residents while still receiving the support they need for daily tasks, including:

  • Taking medication: Personal care has a nurse on shift at all times to help with any medical needs, especially passing out and administering regularly scheduled medications.
  • Walking: A nurse’s aide is on staff to help residents with mobility needs stay safe from one destination to the next.
  • Dressing: All residents can have assistance with dressing in the morning and when getting ready for bed.
  • Eating: Our nursing aides can help during mealtime to assist residents who may have trouble holding utensils.

Flexible Financial Options

Just as we have a program to fit each resident, we also have flexible financing options, including:

  • Lifecare Plan: Our lifecare plan is the ultimate long-term care insurance policy, granting you access to all our healthcare levels without increases in your monthly fees. This provides easy coverage, no matter how your health changes.
  • Refundable Plan: This plan requires a higher entrance fee but offers a lower monthly fee. You will also receive 50% of your entrance fee back to use toward needed healthcare services in the future.
  • Fee-for-service Program: The fee-for-service program only requires you to pay for the services you use.

Personal Care Suites

To help encourage a self-directed lifestyle, personal care residents have private suites to make their own with touches of home. Each suite contains:

  • Studio-style Floor Plan: Our spacious studio floor plans allow room for a bed and several other pieces of furniture, including a comfy armchair and a large dresser.
  • Accessibility and Safety Features: To ensure personal safety, each room has a call light system to contact nurses and installed support rails along the bed, toilet and shower.
  • Private Bathroom and Shower: Prepare for the day in the comfort of a personal bathroom with a vanity, shower and toilet.
  • Personal Kitchenette: Each room has its own personal kitchenette with cupboards for additional storage.

Receive Enriching Nursing Care

At Elm Terrace, our nursing care services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. At all times, we have a nurse and a certified nurse’s assistant scheduled to assist with any and all needs — from dressing to medication administration.

Each of our residents is met with equal attentiveness and compassion from the nursing staff. We hire team members with a heart for serving our community, so you can rest assured that you will receive quality care every time.

Overall, we encourage you to enjoy your independence throughout your daily life, all while knowing we are here for you when you need us.
