The record in brief

Choices Healthcare Carolyn's House is on the Department of Human Services list of licensed personal care homes, licensed for 6 residents. A personal care home is not an assisted living residence: Pennsylvania licenses the two under different rules (55 Pa. Code Chapter 2600 for personal care homes, Chapter 2800 for assisted living residences).

The state's inspection reports for personal care homes are in the DHS Human Services Provider Directory; we have not loaded them for this home, so none are shown here.

Pennsylvania personal care homes (PCHs) provide shelter, meals, supervision and help with personal care, typically for older people or people with physical, behavioral health or cognitive disabilities who cannot live safely at home but do not need 24-hour nursing care.pa.gov

Pennsylvania assisted living residences (ALRs) offer all the care a personal care home offers, but may serve people with higher care needs who still do not need 24-hour nursing care.pa.gov
