Royal Personal Care Homes

Royal Personal Care Homes sits in a historic Tyson Manor House that goes back to Colonial times, with ties to Independence Hall and President Roosevelt, and you'll find it right across the street from Jefferson Abington Hospital, close to shops, local places to eat, and the Briar Bush Nature Center, which means you've always got something nearby if you want to get out. The community is small, with only about seven to twelve residents living there at a time, and the whole idea is to give it a family feeling so people feel they belong, and it feels more like home than what folks usually picture with big assisted living places. People get all-inclusive support, so there aren't extra charges for services, and the rooms come with things like Wi-Fi, air conditioning, showers, cable TV, and some let you look out onto a garden. Staff take care of bed-making, laundry, room clean-up, and there's a home vehicle with a driver for outings, so it's easy to get to the store or to an appointment, and if somebody wants a meal made a special way, the on-site chef takes requests and makes all sorts of dishes including vegetarian or vegan if needed and even guest meals or pureed food, and meals are served in a restaurant-style way. Residents who need help with health needs like medication, diabetic care, incontinence, or getting around without walking can get it, and there's support for folks who need Alzheimer's care, independent living, assisted living, home care, or respite care. With beautiful furnishings, ground floor units for those who need them, wheelchair access, full kitchens in some rooms, and garden views in others, there's a lot of comfort built in, and the focus stays on helping residents live as easily and richly as possible, with plenty of activities, a garden pool, and outings to help people feel active and connected. Tours and information sessions are available for anyone interested.
