Overview of The Gardens at Camp Hill

The Gardens at Camp Hill keeps 95 beds running at 91.6 percent occupancy. Demand is consistent, and the place fills beds because people need what it does. Located at 46 Erford Rd in Camp Hill, operated by Hashtag Holdings LLC, it sits in a neighborhood where a Walk Score of 47 means you’re driving to get groceries.

What it lacks in walkability, it makes up for in clinical depth. Short-term rehab, stroke recovery, respiratory therapy, IV meds, dementia care. There’s a doctor on staff and nurses around the clock.

Four hours of nursing per resident per day, with registered nurses handling just over an hour of that. The place also runs therapy programs, maintains a resident council, hosts movie nights, and arranges animal visits.

Average length of stay is 202 days. That number sits right at the overlap: Medicare comes in for short-term post-acute stuff, Medicaid covers the longer stays, and private pay fills gaps. The payer mix tells you something real about the facility’s actual design. It’s built for both kinds of residents.

The Gardens at Camp Hill isn’t one thing. It’s a nursing home that handles short-term rehab and also absorbs people staying longer with complex conditions like dementia or end-of-life care. For families in the Harrisburg area trying to plan for uncertainty, the fact that this one place can accommodate both timelines reduces a major headache down the line. You’re not hunting for a second facility if your parent’s situation changes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Pennsylvania

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Pennsylvania?

Assisted living in Pennsylvania supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover memory care?

Pennsylvania Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Pennsylvania) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
