On an attractively maintained campus, Gettysburg Lutheran Retirement Village offers a full continuum of care, featuring residential living cottages and apartments, assisted living rooms, and a skilled care center.

RESIDENTIAL LIVING

Take comfort in knowing that if you need more help, you have admission, as space allows, to any other level of care and that we will work closely with you to meet your needs.

Assisted Living at the Gettysburg Lutheran Retirement Village enables you to maintain independence while receiving the help needed with the tasks of daily living.

Whether from the comfort of your attractively furnished private or semi-private room, the communal dining room, a lounge area, or the outdoor walking trail, you can choose your activities and daily routine with the security of knowing that support is available when you need it. The village bus is available to take you to local medical appointments and scheduled shopping and pleasure outings. Your meals are served in a lovely dining area with menu selections provided.

Daily rates include room and board, linens, cable TV, non-prescription stock medications, stock personal hygiene supplies, activities, scheduled local medical transportation and supervised care. A beauty shop and laundry service are available on a fee-for-service basis

If daily assistance is needed, but daily medical care is not, then our Assisted Living residence may be a suitable option.

SKILLED CARE CENTER

Physical or mental limitations may necessitate living in a skilled care center for either a limited or an extended period of time. To meet those needs, the Gettysburg Lutheran Nursing and Rehabilitation Center strikes a delicate balance between a homelike environment and a skilled care center. While your needs may lead you to seek our service, our caring and professional staff will try to make you feel like family. Whether you need health care, dementia support, or rehabilitation, our primary goal is to enhance and promote independence within capabilities, while preserving your dignity and sense of privacy. Our 100 bed skilled care center is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Health and is Medicare and Medicaid certified. Care is provided under the direction of your attending physician. We provide skilled nursing care and full rehabilitation services including physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.

Activities

A wide variety of programs focusing on social, creative and intellectual interests are available. Group activities like cooking, sports, crafts, parties, bus rides and discussion groups are enhanced with opportunities for private pastimes like reading, tending to plants, listening to music or bird watching. Therapy assistants provide exercises and walking activities to maintain mobility and function. Beautician and barber services are provided on campus.

Residents can also enjoy activities and visits with the young children from Learning Tree Child Care, the LSS child care center located right in the skilled care center building. Unique to Gettysburg Village, this intergenerational interaction has proven to be meaningful to both children and residents alike.

Meal Service

You may choose to eat in the lovely central dining room where a choice of menu selections is offered restaurant style at each meal. There are several smaller dining areas where assistance with meals is available if needed. Menus are planned by a certified dietary manager and approved by a registered dietitian. Menus are prepared with your physician's orders and your preferences in mind. Snacks are available.

Additional Services

In addition to room and board, our skilled care center daily rates include stock medical and personal hygiene supplies, as well as hair care, laundry services and Cable TV.

For more information on our Skilled Care Center or to schedule a visit and tour, contact our Community Life Specialist by email or phone 717-334-6204.
