York County's only home for end-of-life care
The need for a home for end-of-life care is proven.
With increasing demand, Pappus House receives daily referrals, maintains a waiting list, and often has to turn families away due to lack of beds.
Pappus House has outgrown its humble beginning.
A new eight-bedroom residence will expand its mission of comfort and care to many more families across our region.
Features of the New Home
- Eight large bedrooms for the residents and their visiting loved ones
- Private patios, accessible from each bedroom
- Kitchen and dining areas for residents and families to gather, share meals, and make memories
- Specialized bathrooms to accommodate all mobility needs
- Tranquil gardens, walking paths, and recreational areas
- Spiritual sanctuary for prayer and quiet reflection
- Built to meet State personal care home regulations and ADA compliance
- Wide hallways for accessibility
- Children’s playroom and teen respite area
- Administrative areas for staff and volunteers
