Personal Care Home List

If you are interested in personal care, please view the Personal Care Home List (PDF). The facilities that appear on this list are all fully licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. Although every effort has been made by the Office of Aging to provide sufficient information on the different personal care facilities in Lancaster County, this list is not intended to be exhaustive or all-inclusive. The list will be revised periodically and the information updated accordingly.

Similarly, this list is not meant to be evaluative. Inclusion of a facility on this list does not imply endorsement of that facility by the Lancaster County Office of Aging.
