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.

Staffing hours breakdown

Hours per resident per day — compared to Pennsylvania state averages

Staff type	Hours / Day / Resident	vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.	34m per day	▲ 21% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.	19m per day	▼ 54% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.	2h 33m per day	▲ 10% State avg: 2h 19m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Weekend Total Nursing Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.	3h 14m per day	▲ 6% State avg: 3h 3m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Weekend RN Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.	27m per day	▲ 35% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 28m per day

Inspection Score

5 points above the Pennsylvania average for assisted living residences (83/100)

Waivers A higher number of waivers may indicate the facility relies on staff who don't fully meet standard credential requirements. A lower number may suggest the facility meets staffing qualification standards without exemptions.

This Facility PA Average vs. PA Avg

Waivers are Pennsylvania Department of Health exemptions that let a facility operate outside required staffing ratios or staff credential rules. A higher count can signal that the facility regularly relies on exceptions — for example, fewer nursing hours per resident or staff who don't fully meet qualification standards — which may affect day-to-day care.
