Assisted Living, Independent Living & Memory Care · Mechanicsburg, PA

Overview of Country Meadows

Country Meadows has been part of the Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania landscape for 43 years. Located at 4905 E Trindle Rd in the Hampden Township neighborhood and operated by Country Meadows Of West Shore LLC, the 180-bed community offers three levels of care: assisted living, independent living, and memory support. Most trips off campus call for a car or the community’s own transportation service, as the area carries a Walk Score of 41.

Housing comes in a range of configurations. Studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments, alcove suites, and efficiencies are all available, with no buy-in fee and shared living as an option. Starting price is $3,897 per month. At present, 104 of 180 beds are occupied, a 58% occupancy rate that gives the campus a quieter footprint than some larger communities at capacity.

Care is delivered across all three tracks by licensed nurses and CNAs. Residents who need short-term recovery have access to rehabilitation and short-term rehab services on-site, so post-acute care doesn’t have to mean leaving the building. Memory support is offered as a distinct level of care rather than a single-purpose wing layered onto a general assisted living unit.

The Dynamic Living Wellness Program, run by a fitness professional, structures the activity calendar around outings, entertainment, and social connection. Restaurant-style dining, a spa, garden and patio spaces, a fitness center and gym, and a concierge round out the day-to-day environment. The community is pet-friendly, and volunteer programs are active.

State inspections have tended to concentrate on areas like medication management, fire-safety systems, emergency preparedness, and care planning and documentation.

Country Meadows is a well-established multi-level community with a broad range of housing options, on-site rehabilitative services, and a dedicated memory care track, positioned for older adults in the greater Harrisburg area who want flexibility in both care level and living arrangement.
