Overview of Homestead Village

Operated by Homestead Village Inc. under the ownership of Douglas Motter, Homestead Village is a 100-bed skilled nursing community located on Village Circle in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The single-story community provides private rooms that promote comfort and privacy for older adults. With 57% occupancy and an average resident stay of 134 days, it serves individuals receiving both short-term rehabilitation and long-term nursing care.

Additionally, residents receive an average of 5 hours and 20 minutes of nursing care each day from registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides working together to provide comprehensive clinical support. Rehabilitation services, respite care, secure personal care, memory support, and wellness programs further address a wide range of recovery and long-term care needs.

The surrounding neighborhood is primarily car-dependent, making most errands and appointments easier to reach by vehicle. However, the community is well equipped to support residents’ daily living through its clinical services and therapeutic programs.

Furthermore, state inspections have consistently evaluated safety practices and documentation standards.

Frequently Asked Questions about Nursing Homes in Pennsylvania

What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Pennsylvania?

Assisted living in Pennsylvania is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.

Does Pennsylvania Medicaid cover nursing home care?

Yes — Pennsylvania Medicaid covers nursing home care for residents who meet income, asset, and medical-need eligibility requirements. Most CMS-certified nursing homes accept Medicaid as a primary payer once long-term-care eligibility is established.

What is nursing home care?

Nursing homes (also called skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses, rehabilitation services, and long-term custodial care for residents with significant health or functional needs.

How many nursing homes are listed on this page?

This page features 183 nursing homes in Pennsylvania. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right nursing home in Pennsylvania?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Pennsylvania, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting nursing homes in Pennsylvania?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
