Homestead Village Continuing Care Retirement Community in Lancaster, PA, operates as a full continuing-care retirement community. Residents can transition through levels of support without changing campuses, allowing for consistent care coordination. The community offers targeted medical oversight for individuals managing diabetes, including blood glucose monitoring, medication administration, and physician-directed treatment plans. On-site licensed nursing staff and access to allied health professionals help maintain consistent standards for chronic condition management.
Beyond diabetes support, the community provides routine health assessments, medication management, and coordination with outside specialists when needed. Rehabilitation services such as physical and occupational therapy are available on campus, reducing the need for off-site appointments. Staff are present around the clock to respond to health concerns, and an emergency call system is standard in resident living areas to ensure rapid response times.
Accommodations range from private apartments to larger residential models, and most layouts include direct access to outdoor areas that encourage residents to spend time outside when weather permits. Not every living unit contains every feature, so families should confirm the specifics—such as patio access, storage space, or layout differences—before selecting a residence.
Three daily meals are prepared and served in a communal dining venue, with menus developed to address nutritional requirements and physician-ordered diets. Residents managing diabetes or other health conditions receive meals tailored to their dietary guidelines, and snacks are available to help maintain consistent blood sugar levels throughout the day.
An activity center is available for recreation, educational programs, and social gatherings, providing residents with structured and unstructured opportunities to stay engaged.
