Location. Location. Location.
Situated in the heart of the Cumberland Valley in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, Cumberland Crossings is a Continuing Care Retirement Community that boasts an 80-acre, expertly landscaped, tranquil campus. Yet the amenities associated with urban centers are nearby. Harrisburg and Gettysburg are only a short distance from Cumberland Crossings, while even larger areas, such as Baltimore and Philadelphia, are easily accessed from nearby interstates and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Comprehensive health care is also readily available. Cumberland Crossings is just minutes from the Carlisle Regional Medical Center as well as a multitude of private physician practices and specialty medical centers, which serve the majority of the Carlisle population. Today, more than 20,000 citizens live and work in Carlisle, which serves as the county seat of Cumberland County.
Home to historic Dickinson College and Penn State University's Dickinson School of Law, Carlisle boasts many cultural, recreational, and educational opportunities. Quaint shops, historical buildings, and diverse ethnic dining establishments line downtown streets. The area hosts malls, several theatres, and an annual car show that draws a crowd from all over the United States. Carlisle is also home to the U.S. Army War College at Carlisle Barracks, which gives full privileges to retired military personnel.
With a rich 250-year history, Carlisle was home to Revolutionary and Civil War troops as well as such American historical figures as Molly Pitcher, James Wilson, and Jim Thorpe.
Abundant Social, Recreational, and Cultural Activities
In addition to the area’s multitude of social, recreational, and cultural offerings, Cumberland Crossings sponsors a range of programs and events designed to make life for residents active and engaging. Other special activities are developed to maximize independence and nurture physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Residents may participate in the Residents Council, which serves as an informative forum for community happenings or join the Cumberland Crossings Auxiliary.

Cumberland Crossings Auxiliary
Dedicated to enhancing the lifestyle within the retirement community, the Cumberland Crossings Auxiliary is open to all residents, family members of residents, and any other interested persons. Auxiliary members are very active and dedicated, assisting with fundraisers, helping in the gift shop, and tending to vacationing residents’ pets or plants. Auxiliary members help to bring true community to Cumberland Crossings.
A Tradition of Service
In the early 1980s, the former Carlisle Hospital’s board of directors decided to reach out to the community beyond the scope of normal hospital operations by building a retirement community that could offer a complete range of services—senior living accommodations, assisted living, and nursing care. Parcels of land, totaling 80 acres, in South Middleton Township were assembled for the project and construction began. Today, the site holds 115 retirement living cottages, a community center, and several care centers.
In 2001, the Carlisle Area Health and Wellness Foundation was established from the proceeds of the sale of the assets of Carlisle Hospital and Health Services Inc. to Health Management Associates and the transfer of related endowments and trusts. Wanting to continue Cumberland Crossings’ community outreach, the foundation searched for an entity to purchase the retirement community. They selected Diakon Lutheran Social Ministries, citing its organizational philosophy and sense of mission as perfect matches for the Cumberland Crossings community.
