Garden Spot Village sits on a scenic 220-acre campus and welcomes people age 55 and over to a community focused on purpose and active living, where folks can choose from several living options like Sycamore Springs, Carriage Homes, Garden Apartments, Village Square Apartments, cottages, and Cooperative Living, all surrounded by well-tended gardens, walking trails, and peaceful spots like the Legacy Garden, and you'll see the Village Square buzzing with activity, beautiful landscaping and places for relaxing or talking with neighbors. The community offers independent living, personal care, memory care with a dedicated Memory Support Neighborhood, skilled nursing and a full range of care through programs like DayBreak, Mountain View Personal Care, Meadow View Personal Care, and Garden View Skilled Nursing, so residents can stay in familiar surroundings even as their health needs change, and they can also receive at-home transportation and community-based care. The campus has its own WellSpan Health Center for health and wellness, and inside you'll find services like home care and a healthcare home to support daily needs.
Garden Spot Village offers public dining options, including restaurants and the Harvest Table, which serves various meals such as salmon burgers, giving people options whether they want a casual bite or a sit-down meal, and there's also an Artisans Corner and shopping areas for handmade or local goods, so residents don't have to go far for what they need or for a bit of browsing. People can explore the community through virtual tours available every day of the year or come in person and follow a campus map or join a resident-led tour, while informational sessions and "Look & Learn" events help folks understand what living here means and what care or independent options they might pick.
The campus has a busy and varied activities schedule, sometimes even going as far as international travel for those up to it, and the micro-communities nestled in various parts of the property encourage friendships and shared interests, whether it's through art classes in the arts and culture center, volunteering, joining faith gatherings at the on-campus church, or just helping out in community gardens and greenhouses. Residents can also join volunteer programs or advocacy groups to give back and make an impact, and there are many ways for folks to stay active, join groups, or spend time with grandchildren throughout the year.
Garden Spot Village sticks to a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) model, so there are resources for planning, including guides about costs, funding like Medicare, Medicaid, veterans' benefits, or how to use savings and insurance, and there's information for caregivers, too, so you don't have to figure this out alone. With award-winning architecture, maintenance-free homes, and a wide range of amenities, Garden Spot Village supports residents through all stages of aging, focusing on connection, purpose, and easy living, and the variety of care, services, and activities means residents can make this place feel like home no matter their interests or care needs.
