I stayed here and liked the bright, airy rooms and regular family days. The frequent bus trips to local malls, recreation spots and even Atlantic City kept things lively - I was pleased and would recommend it.

About Tri-County Respite
Tri-County Respite sits as a large, 65-bed community that helps seniors who need assisted living or rehabilitation. The community has both studio rooms and suite options that come fully furnished, with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air conditioning, phone, internet, and cable, so residents have choices about how they live. Staff are around all day and night to offer help with daily tasks, medication management, and general supervision, and they can assist with getting to doctor's appointments with transportation services or arrange rides when needed. Meals are prepared on-site, sometimes using organic ingredients, and residents get either one or two meals a day, with laundry, housekeeping, and linen services included.
This Personal Care Home is licensed by state or local authorities and has lower costs than most nursing homes, but it doesn't take Medicare payments and isn't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. Tri-County Respite offers long-term care, short-term respite stays, and even memory care, with help for residents living with conditions like Alzheimer's or dementia nearby. The community feels supportive, giving guidance on choosing between assisted living or memory care, and provides access to legal, medical, and geriatric care management services too.
Residents usually must be at least 55 or 62 years old. Some live alone, while others share rooms in this maintenance-free environment, so no one needs to worry about chores like cooking or cleaning. The facility has indoor common areas, a library, TV lounge, computer/media center, a meeting room, and an outdoor patio-places to relax or get together with others. They also offer transportation and resident parking, with easy public transit options. Diabetic care, non-ambulatory and incontinence care, plus medication help and ancillary health services all get handled by staff. Senior living choices here can range from independent living to memory care, and the community is sometimes grouped with others, so different types of care are close by. Tri-County Respite focuses on offering personal care, reliable services, and several living options for seniors needing different levels of support.
People often ask...

The full address for this community is 219 E Broad St, Quakertown, PA 18951.
No, Tri-County Respite does not offer respite care.
Respite care in assisted living communities provides temporary, short-term relief for primary caregivers by offering professional care for their loved ones. It allows individuals to stay in an assisted living community for a limited time, giving caregivers a break while ensuring residents receive necessary support and assistance with daily activities.
