A nursing home is a place for older adults who do not need hospital care but cannot be cared for at home. More than 80,000 Pennsylvanians reside in more than 700 nursing homes throughout the state.

Living at home can be challenging for older adults when they require supervision or assistance to complete daily activities. A nursing home becomes an option when the level of care needed cannot be provided at home.

Nursing homes provide 24-hour, long-term nursing care and short-term options for older adults following surgery or hospital stay.

Serving PA Veterans and Their Spouses
If you served our country, love to show your patriotism and need long-term care, then one of Pennsylvania's six Veterans Homes is the ideal place for you and/or your spouse to call home. Our favorite “colors” are Red, White and Blue, and we believe that every veteran who lives here is a celebrated American hero.

That is because Pennsylvania’s Veterans Homes, operated by the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, exists to care for, honor and respect residents for serving our country and protecting our freedom.

Licensed Personal Care Homes

This information pertains to juveniles who, while under the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court, were committed to out-of-home placement (excluding detention, shelter care, and diagnostic placements) for a period greater than 28 days at least one time in conjunction with a juvenile delinquency disposition.

This dataset is contained within the Juvenile Court Judges' Commission 2018 Statewide Juvenile Justice Outcome Measure report: this report reflects outcomes of juvenile offenders whose cases were closed during the report period and who have received a period of supervision from a county juvenile probation department. These reported outcomes are associated with community protection, accountability, and competency development.

The proportion of juveniles whose cases were closed and experienced a placement episode decreased in 2018 to 18.3% from 22.4% in 2017. At the same time, the median length of placement remained steady at 9.9 months.

This list contains enrollment and capacity information for Family Support programs in Pennsylvania as of the last day of each quarter. This report will be updated on a quarterly basis.
