Step 1

Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to visit Landis Homes for a tour of the desired accommodations. The Residency Planning staff will discuss the services and programs available at Landis Homes as well as the fees. An application will be given to the prospective resident.

Appointments may be made by calling the Residency Planning Office at (717) 581-3935 or .

Step 2

Upon receipt of the application, Directors of Residency Planning and Finance will review the information; a letter will be sent confirming the application has been received and for which accommodations applicant qualifies. Qualifications include care needs and ability to pay for future care.

When the application is approved, the applicant's name will be placed on the prospect list.

Step 3

When an accommodation becomes available, the prospective resident (or family) will be contacted and arrangements made to determine that the applicant continues to qualify both physically and financially. Upon seeing the accommodation and accepting it, a Reservation Request form is signed.

An Admissions packet will be given which includes all the information that is needed prior to moving. When the information is collected, an appointment is made with Residency Planning staff to return it and ensure everything is completed.
