At Home in The Households
The first of its kind in Central Pennsylvania, this innovative, resident-centered living concept transforms the nursing care environment into a warm and homelike place. Our three households—Family Place, Friendship Circle and Fellowship Place—each accommodate 20 residents. Every detail of household life has been carefully designed to feel as much like home as possible:
- Staff and residents gather in cozy common areas.
- Thoughtfully designed private bedrooms provide personal temperature control.
- Residents enjoy a good night’s sleep with minimal interruption and awake according to their own wishes.
- Delicious, made-to-order dishes are served on a relaxed schedule in a family-like dining room.

Resident-Directed Activities Engage All the Senses
Many household activities echo those that residents might take part in at home, such as:
- Setting and clearing the table
- Chopping vegetables and helping with meal preparation
- Folding clothes or rolling out dough for blueberry pie
Other resident-directed, staff-led activities include: games, celebrations, arts and crafts, musical activities, movies, video sports games, discussion groups and impromptu outings.
