Mount Joy Hospice Center
The Hospice Center in Mount Joy opened in October, 2008. It is located at 4075 Old Harribsurg Pike, Mount Joy. (Click here for directions.)
Although most people prefer to stay at home, patients may need another level of care to manage pain or other symptoms. Care is available for patients and their families in our Essa Flory Hospice Center in Lancaster and the Mount Joy Hospice Center. Inpatient care is often short-term and patients return home when symptoms are managed.
Built by the same award-winning team who designed the Essa Flory Hospice Center, the Mount Joy Hospice Center includes three wings, each containing eight beds.
Features and benefits include:
- A rural setting with gardens and pathways to enhance the outdoors
