Welcome to Fairmount Homes!
Fairmount Homes is a continuing care retirement community with a tradition of simplicity and a rich Christian heritage. Located in the beautiful countryside of northeastern Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, it is home to people who value personal relationships and care for each other.
Founded in 1968, Fairmount Homes benefits from the commitment of its Board of Directors, its staff, and the many volunteers from local churches and the community. At Fairmount Homes you will find a Christian concern for the individual which sets Fairmount apart.
Located on 48 acres in picturesque rural West Earl Township, Lancaster County, Fairmount Homes, a continuing care retirement community, consists of 120 licensed Health Care beds, 74 licensed personal care beds, 12 residential living residences, 58 apartments and 39 cottages. Our retirement community is located on two adjoining campuses. Fairmount, a non-profit, church related facility, was founded in 1968 and is governed by a nine-member Board from the Weaverland Conference of the Old Order Mennonite church. Fairmount Homes is licensed for Medicare and Medicaid. Fairmount's policy is to serve all residents without regard to race, color, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, religious creed, handicap or disability.
Residents enjoy a panoramic view of Lancaster County and its beautiful farming community. While within easy driving distance of Ephrata and New Holland, residents of Fairmount enjoy the advantage of quiet, country living.
An emphasis is placed on meeting spiritual needs. The Christian ministry of Fairmount's staff and volunteers is a very important element of the facility. Numerous local church groups and pastors are actively involved in visiting Fairmount. Because of the compassionate, loving care, Fairmount is home to people who value personal relationships and care for each other.
