“Michelle Anderson has been wonderful since our very first visit to Fitz Farm. She is caring, positive and professional. She continued to be a valuable and responsive resource for us during the time my father lived at Fitz Farm. We highly recommend Fitz Farm as a community and Michelle as an ambassador.”

“Excellent retirement community. We are excited that Dad is going to be living there. We feel he will thrive there and be happy.”

How families pay for assisted living in Pennsylvania

Most families in Pennsylvania start by paying privately for assisted living, memory care and independent living, drawing on savings, pensions, Social Security and often the proceeds from selling a home. Long-term care insurance, where a policy was purchased years earlier, can offset part of the monthly cost as well, though families still need to confirm what the policy actually covers and for how long. Veterans and surviving spouses may also qualify for VA Aid and Attendance, a benefit that helps with the cost of care and is worth exploring early, since the application process can take some time.
