"*" indicates required fields
Personal Care
Offered in the Preston building, Personal Care provides everything needed for a full, rewarding lifestyle. Residents enjoy individualized support with activities of daily living – such as bathing, dressing and help with medications – private apartments, engaging programs and activities, and services that include chef-prepared meals and housekeeping that make life easier and more enjoyable.
Memory Care
If your loved one is living with dementia or Alzheimer’s, this is the Memory Care they deserve. Our specially trained team delivers 24/7 personalized care that supports independence for as long as possible. Residents enjoy private apartments and amenities that include an outdoor garden, all in a secure neighborhood that looks and feels like home.
Personal Care vs. Assisted Living
In Pennsylvania, Personal Care and Assisted Living differ in the level of care, regulations and housing. Personal Care offers help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing and medication but focuses on more independent living without extensive medical care. Assisted Living provides higher-level medical care, including nursing support.

When I first chose Barclay Friends to be Mom’s home, I did so because I sensed an alignment of your values and our values. Through the years, I have witnessed those values in action in the care that you give to mom … and me.

For the first time in a very long time, I feel like I can be my mother’s daughter instead of a crisis manager.
The staff cares about their residents. My dad was always treated with dignity and kindness. We are blessed to have caregivers and a facility such as Barclay Friends in our community.
