At Apple Home Care Services, we provide compassionate, flexible non-medical home care to families and seniors throughout Havertown — from the established residential streets of Manoa and Brookline to the well-loved neighborhoods of Llanerch, Oakmont, Coopertown, and Penfield.
Havertown is one of Delaware County’s strongest residential communities — quiet streets, deep family roots, and a senior population that values staying right where they are. Our office in Upper Darby is roughly ten minutes from most Havertown homes, which means quick response times for assessments, schedule changes, and emergencies. We accept private pay, long-term care insurance, Veterans Aid & Attendance benefits, and Pennsylvania’s Community HealthChoices (CHC) Medicaid Waiver.

Most major carriers. Bring your policy to your free consultation and we’ll walk through the benefits, the elimination period, and any documentation requirements with you so there are no surprises.
