Lancaster Convalescent Center is a licensed skilled nursing facility and nursing home that sits within a Continuing Care Retirement Community. The center has certified beds and 24-hour skilled nursing care for people who need help after an illness, surgery, or hospital stay, and who can't live safely at home any longer. Residents can get help with daily needs like bathing, dressing, eating, and taking medicine, and the team offers both medical and non-medical support with professional caregivers who speak English and other languages. Lancaster Convalescent Center has short-term rehabilitation for recovering patients and long-term care for those with ongoing health needs, and its staff create personalized care plans to help each resident get the right kind of help. A physician supervises patient care, the center dispenses medicine, and the certified nursing team has hours ranging from 12 to 16, plus a 24-hour call system.
The facility has a home-like feel and welcomes families to take part in a resident and family council, so everyone can talk about concerns and improve the care. There are gardens, outdoor common areas, and walking paths, plus places inside like a fitness room, activity room, spa and wellness room, arts and music rooms. Lancaster Convalescent Center prepares meals with a professional chef, offering restaurant-style service with allergy-sensitive and special dietary menus, making sure residents can get food that fits their needs. Every room has private bathrooms, cable TV, and Wi-Fi so residents can stay comfortable and connected. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, and transportation are all part of living here, which makes things easier for residents and families. Community-sponsored activities, outdoor programs, and resident-run events happen often to help keep people engaged.
Lancaster Convalescent Center meets federal rules for Medicare and Medicaid coverage, so it can help people with different insurance needs, and it's run as a for-profit limited liability company. Kathleen Lantz is the administrator. The team aims to provide a warm, nurturing environment and works to give professional, compassionate care, always focusing on what each resident really needs.
