Those exploring active adult communities in PA will appreciate these benefits of Mount Joy Country Homes:

Mount Joy Country Homes is an active adult community that provides a unique living option for older adults.

Maintenance-Free – Most seniors place maintenance-free living high on their list of priorities, and we’ve responded to that need. Here, you won’t have to shovel snow, rake leaves or mow the grass. We also handle all interior and exterior repairs, including your major appliances.

Comfortable – Enjoy a comfortable cottage designed for greater accessibility, including wide doorways and hallways, no steps, walk-in showers and more. We’ll also help design your cottage to fit your personal style.

Green and Energy-Efficient – The new Mount Joy cottages will be distinct among Lancaster County retirement communities in that they are designed to the NAHB’s National Green Building Program Bronze standard.

Coordinate Supportive Services- housekeeping, emergency call systems, transportation, and bathing and more are available if needed. For peace of mind, there is also a Community Manager who lives in the community.

A Warm Community – As you’d expect from active adult communities in PA, the neighborhood is filled with caring neighbors who value community, service and wellness.

Great Value – Our entrance fees and monthly fees are reasonable – and partially refundable for older adults who are not seeking to full amenities of a traditional retirement community. It all adds up to simply good living, at a great value.
