PERSONAL CARE

Paxton Street Home

Located at 2001 Paxton Street in Harrisburg, Paxton Street Home is a licensed personal care facility offering 24-hour support for up to 85 residents. Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers—some of whom live on-site—create a warm, family-like environment where residents feel safe, supported, and valued.


Each person is treated with dignity and respect as they receive the support they require while maintaining the freedom and independence to self-direct their daily activities.

Who Lives at Paxton Street Home?

Paxton Street Home welcomes adults of all ages who struggle to live independently. Most of our residents live with a serious mental illness or intellectual disability and benefit from a supportive environment where their basic needs are met and help is available for complex tasks. Monthly fees are determined using a sliding-scale structure, tailored to each resident’s income and financial resources.

We are not able to support individuals requiring skilled nursing care or hands-on assistance with ADLs (i.e. bathing, toileting, transfers, etc). Likewise, we cannot accommodate the needs of individuals with any stage of dementia or other neurocognitive disorder.
