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.

Overview of The Garden at Pine Run Health Center

Part of the Pine Run Village continuing care retirement campus, The Garden at Pine Run Health Center is a 40-bed nonprofit nursing home operated by Pine Run Village, Inc. The facility coordinates skilled nursing, personal care, transitional care, memory care, and comfort care. The surrounding neighborhood is highly accessible, carrying a Walk Score of 94, while the building’s internal programs feature a fine arts studio, a beauty shop, a model railroad club, and community gardens. Residents maintain an average stay of 37 days, which reflects a care model geared heavily toward short-term post-acute recovery and rehabilitation.

Public health and licensing archives show a steady regulatory profile, with the community logging 22 total citations across six inspections since 2023, a count that tracks 65% below the Pennsylvania average. Oversight logs show zero history of federal financial fines or immediate jeopardy findings, and a standalone complaint investigation turned up zero substantiated issues.

The facility’s most recent standard evaluation in July 2025 flagged minor to moderate deficiencies concerning record confidentiality, staff training records, food labeling, emergency fire drill evacuation times, and medication storage setup, with all corrective action plans approved and completed by September 2025.

Families researching local short-term rehab or specialized skilled care options can review these public tracking profiles to assess the home’s daily operations. Since the state data highlights a low historical deficiency rate, zero recent enforcement penalties, and brief average recovery stays within a highly walkable campus setup, the paperwork points to a stable environment for post-acute rehabilitation.

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.
