Personal Care in Lancaster PA

It is easy to feel like we’ve lost a sense of purpose as we age, but caring for our bodies, minds, and spiritual selves can bring purpose back and make these years joyful and carefree. At Calvary Homes, we understand the importance of assisted-living type care for independent older adults through their retirement years.

For our residents who need additional supervision or help with the tasks of daily living, we offer personal care (commonly referred to as assisted living) in Lancaster, PA, in small and relaxed household settings. This environment puts residents at ease and encourages them to engage in the various activities of daily living available to them and the other residents.

Our lounges and exterior recreation areas provide abundant options for residents to entertain, play games, participate in group exercise, or go on outdoor excursions. Three delicious meals are served each day at our beautiful Grandview Café, an appealing and social space for residents and visitors to enjoy dining with choice and flexible mealtimes.

Renovations soon underway will add full baths to most resident rooms, a new whirlpool spa, and create a new care neighborhood with enlarged social and recreational spaces adjacent to a lovely new outdoor garden, dining deck, and fountain area.

Do You Offer Assisted Living at Calvary Homes?

Assisted living communities and personal care homes are so similar that it is easy to confuse the two. We offer personal care at Calvary Homes, not assisted living. Pennsylvania law changed the definition of assisted living in 2011. By law, assisted-living facilities can only house up to two residents per living unit, each unit must have a full bathroom, and the doors must be lockable by residents. They also require that a registered nurse be at least on-call 24/7.

While we are not licensed in assisted living here in Lancaster, PA, we offer many of the same services and amenities that you would find in an assisted living facility. If you'd like a more in-depth explanation about the differences between the two, please take a few minutes to read over our blog on the subject!

Is Calvary Homes Right for Me or My Loved One?

Choosing the right retirement living option can be a daunting task! We want you to make the best choice for yourself or your loved one. Calvary Homes has an excellent staff who aim to enhance and encourage our residents' independent living. Our cottages and apartments are spacious and comfortable, and you will find many of them connected under one roof for convenient shared access to our common areas and other amenities.

We foster a sense of community with scheduled activities, such as picnics, game nights, and book discussions. We have exercise classes for those who love to stay active and quilting or crafting groups for those who prefer a quieter activity. Of course, all our residents are free to enjoy any of our activities!

Calvary Homes knows how important spiritual enrichment is to our residents, so we encourage them to participate in our morning devotions, Sunday morning services, Bible studies, and hymn sings. These are just some of the ways that our residents can worship within our community. If these things sound like something you or your loved one would enjoy, Calvary Homes is the place for you!
