In-Home Senior Care for Abington's Aging Parents
When an aging parent starts missing meals, skipping medications, or losing their footing on the stairs, living alone stops feeling safe. Non-medical home care in Abington keeps daily life manageable, so seniors can stay in the Montgomery County home they know best.
Most of the homes we work in around here were built long before anyone planned for a walker. The only full bathroom is on the second floor, the front steps are steep, and one bad night is all it takes.
We built ALB as a personal alternative to large, corporate agencies. Our caregivers know your loved one’s routines and personality, not just their care plan.
They arrive better prepared and more closely supervised than most agencies require, and you reach our team directly, day or night.
You don’t have to care for them on your own. Let us take the weight off your shoulders.
We know their name, their story, their routines.
Not a case number. A person we genuinely know.

What Would Make Life At Home Easier?
The right support can help your loved one stay safer, more comfortable, and more independent in the home they know and love.
From a few hours of help to care throughout the day and night, we adjust their care plan as their needs change:
24-Hour, Live-In, and Overnight Care
- 24-Hour Home Care: Caregivers work in shifts to provide continuous support, supervision, personal assistance, and companionship, staffed from our Abington and Upper Dublin roster so a shift change never depends on an hour-long drive
- Live-In Care: A dedicated caregiver stays in the home to help with daily routines, meals, personal care, and household tasks while resting overnight and throughout the day.
- Overnight Care: Nighttime assistance with bathroom visits, walking, transfers, repositioning, and fall prevention, which matters most in older homes where the only full bath is up a flight of stairs
Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care
- Caregivers trained to support older adults with Alzheimer’s and dementia
- Familiar routines that help your loved one feel more secure and comfortable
- Help with bathing, dressing, meals, grooming, and other daily activities
- Medication reminders and support with maintaining daily habits
- Calm reassurance during moments of confusion, frustration, or anxiety
- Safety monitoring to reduce wandering, a real risk this close to Old York Road and Susquehanna Road
- Activities and companionship that encourage connection and engagement
Personal Care and Companionship
- Help with bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and personal hygiene
- Assistance with walking, transfers, and moving safely around the home
- Meal preparation, grocery shopping, and support during mealtimes
- Medication and hydration reminders
- Light housekeeping, laundry, and help keeping the home comfortable
- Transportation to appointments at Jefferson Abington, errands along Old York Road, Sunday visits to family in Cheltenham, and programs at the Abington Senior Center
- Friendly conversation and companionship to reduce loneliness
- Shared activities such as reading, games, hobbies, music, and walks
See If You Qualify for Home Care Coverage Through Medicaid
Your loved one may qualify for Medicaid or a Pennsylvania waiver program that covers some or all of the cost of home care.
Fill out our eligibility form. In one call, we’ll tell you whether to start with Montgomery County Aging and Adult Services or with us. It’s the same county intake we run for Plymouth Meeting families, and we know where it tends to stall.

Caring For A Loved One?
You Could Be Getting Paid
If you help a loved one with personal care, meals, errands, or other daily tasks, you may qualify to receive compensation through Pennsylvania’s Community HealthChoices program.
Eligible family members, friends, and neighbors can get compensated for the care they’re already providing, whether you’re driving in from Horsham every morning or you’ve moved into the spare bedroom.
- Getting started
Starting Home Care Is Simple & Stress-Free
Tell us about your loved one
A physician or pharmacist owner takes your first call, reviews the medication list, and asks about the stairs, the nights, and the last fall.
Explore home care options
We’ll walk you through overnight, live-in, or 24-hour care and tell you honestly which one the situation actually calls for.
Build a personalized care plan
We shape the plan around your loved one’s routines, safety risks, and the layout of their home, then flag what to watch for between visits.
Thoughtfully match your caregiver
We hand-pick a caregiver from our local roster based on skills, personality, and who your loved one will actually let back in the door.
Begin care
Our team stays closely involved with frequent check-ins and in-person visits. We’re twenty minutes down Old York Road, not a regional office three counties away.
Why Your Neighbors in Abington Call ALB
Our office on Bustleton Avenue sits about 20 minutes from Abington Township, close enough for our leadership team to be at your loved one’s door the same day.
Most Abington families call us after a fall, or after a discharge from Jefferson Abington Hospital. Either way, there’s a narrow window to get support in place before a parent goes home alone. Here’s what happens when you call.

Years in Businesss
Founded by a Physician and a Pharmacist
ALB was started by a doctor and a pharmacist after their own mother received rushed, impersonal care from a private-equity-backed agency. That clinical background shows in the details: caregivers manage medications around the real regimen, catch early changes in appetite, mobility, or confusion before they become an ER visit, and work alongside your loved one’s doctors instead of around them.
Twice the Training Before Their First Abington Shift
Every ALB caregiver completes twice the training Pennsylvania requires before they ever walk into your loved one’s home, and we check in far more often than the state asks for.
Every caregiver clears a state and national background check, and we’re PA licensed, family-owned, and insured. If the match isn’t right, tell us and we’ll re-match at no cost.
Reach the Owners, Not a Call Center
You get direct phone numbers for our leadership team, not an after-hours message service. So when a 2am bathroom trip in a two-story Abington twin turns into a fall, you’re calling the people who can change the care plan that morning.
We’re in network with Community HealthChoices, Keystone First, UPMC Community HealthChoices, PA Health & Wellness, and AmeriHealth Caritas, and we’ve served Montgomery County families from Abington out to Whitpain for 10+ years.

Which parts of Abington do you cover?
All of Abington Township, including Glenside, Roslyn, Rydal, Meadowbrook, Ardsley, Crestmont, and McKinley. Most of our caregivers live in the area, so taking on a new client rarely means a wait.
How much does home care cost?

We’ll review your needs and help you find an option that works for your family and budget.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes, we work with Medicaid and several Pennsylvania programs that may cover home care, including:
- Community HealthChoices
- Keystone First

We're being discharged from Jefferson Abington this week. How fast can care start?
What happens to my parent's care during a snowstorm?
Our caregivers live nearby, so a few inches on Old York Road won’t strand your parent. If a caregiver ever can’t make it in, we arrange backup coverage and call you before you have to wonder.

Relief Starts with A Conversation. Let’s Talk About The Right Care Plan!
The hardest part was never the cooking or the laundry. It’s the drive home wondering whether they’ll be alright until morning, and the guilt that follows you there.
Let a caregiver who lives minutes away take the nights, the falls, and the worry, so you can go back to being their son or daughter instead of their safety net.
Let’s talk about what your family needs.
