Personal Care
How is personal care different from assisted living?
In Pennsylvania, the term “Assisted Living” is a highly specific regulatory license, whereas “Personal Care” is the state’s official licensed terminology for communities that provide 24-hour clinical supervision, housing, and physical help with daily routines. Our neighborhood provides the precise physical assistance, professional security, and social connection families expect from a premier Assisted Living setting.
Can we personalize our loved one’s suite?
Yes. Familiarity plays a vital role in a successful transition. We strongly encourage families to bring cherished armchairs, family photographs, personalized decorations, and favorite dressers to make the suite feel immediately like home. Families are also welcome to paint the walls a custom color before move-in.
Journeys Memory Care
What is the Journeys Memory Care program?
Our specialized cognitive support program looks past the clinical diagnosis of dementia or Alzheimer’s to celebrate your loved one’s unique life history. We design predictable daily routines that utilize positive engagement, sensory therapies, and secure outdoor exploration to help neighbors feel safe and at ease.
How does secure electronic tracking protect my loved one?
Our secure, non-intrusive electronic tracking system monitors exits throughout our memory care neighborhood. It immediately alerts our on-duty clinical staff if a neighbor approaches a secure door, preventing unsupervised wandering while allowing residents to move naturally and freely throughout our secure indoor and outdoor spaces.
How do you keep families updated on their loved one’s progress?
We believe that family partnership is vital to our neighbors’ emotional well-being. Our clinical directors and activities team provide regular updates, coordinate comfortable video calls, and host family support meetings to ensure your family stays closely connected.
Clinical & Rehabilitation Services
Do you accept Medicare & insurance for senior rehabilitation?
Yes. Our business office coordinators work directly with families, hospitals, and discharge planners to verify Medicare benefits, commercial insurance, and co-pay requirements prior to admission. We handle the clinical billing details seamlessly so you can focus entirely on recovery.
How is rehabilitation therapy scheduled during a short-term stay?
Our physical, occupational, and speech therapists conduct a comprehensive assessment immediately upon admission. Based on your physician’s recommendations and personal recovery goals, therapies are scheduled up to 6 days a week to support rapid physical restoration.
How do we arrange a short-term respite care stay?
To arrange a temporary respite stay, our team conducts a quick pre-admission medical screening to verify your loved one’s care requirements. Stays are scheduled flexibly based on suite availability, and we encourage families to reserve dates up to 4 weeks in advance.
Residence Features & Personalization
Am I allowed to bring my own furniture & decorations?
Yes. Your apartment is your personal sanctuary, & we highly encourage you to bring your favorite furniture, cherished decorations, family photographs, & recliners to make the space immediately feel like home.
Can I customize my apartment?
Yes. Autonomy is a core pillar of our property’s philosophy. You are welcome to hang your favorite artwork, secure custom shelving, mount flat-screen televisions, & even paint your walls a custom color before move-in to ensure your residence perfectly matches your unique style.
Are there guest suites available for visiting family members?
Yes. To make family visits easy & stress-free, we offer comfortable, on-property guest rooms (often referred to as Bed & Breakfast accommodations) that out-of-town relatives can rent directly through our front desk.
Is Olde Main Enhanced Senior Living pet-friendly?
Yes. We understand that pets are a vital part of your family & our close-knit neighborhood. We proudly welcome small dogs & cats, offering direct access to beautiful walking paths & green spaces bordering West Fairmount Park. Reach out to our leadership team for basic guidelines regarding companion animals.

How does the all-inclusive pricing structure work?
Instead of managing separate monthly bills for electricity, heating, water, cable, phone, housekeeping, home maintenance, & meals, everything is consolidated into a single, predictable monthly rate.
