We have one goal at St. John’s Herr Estate – to offer everything needed to lead a full, healthy, enriching and fun retirement life.
The lifestyle at St. John’s Herr Estate is what sets us apart. Our community is a true neighborhood where new friends are made, laughter and memories are shared each day. Whether it’s strolling through our beautifully landscaped grounds, participating in an organized (or spur-of-the-moment) activity, or taking advantage of our close proximity to charming downtown Columbia, there is always something fun and enjoyable to do! Most importantly, if needs change, residents – and their families – enjoy the security of knowing more care is available. For residents who want a break from cooking, we have a lovely dining room. A wellness center that features fitness programming and pool are available at our nearby Luther Acres campus in Lititz (tour the fitness center and check out the indoor pool).
There are plenty of on-campus amenities to take advantage of including:
- Beautifully landscaped grounds for leisurely walks (tour the campus neighborhood)
- Library with computer room (take a peak at all the books available)
- Chapel of the Good Shepherd (worship in the chapel)
- General store (see the country store)
- Dining Room (look at the lovely dining room)
- Beauty/barber shop
- 24-hour emergency response
- And of course, there are plenty of parties, holiday events, cards, bingo, crafts, movies, music and many more!
