The Jewish Home of Greater Harrisburg recognized the need to better serve our ever-aging population. This need resulted in the decision to expand their existing nursing home facilities and to provide assisted-living services.

- Obtaining state agency approval of land development plan
- Obtaining state agency approval for stream relocation
