About Golden Years Homestead, Inc.

Welcome to Greencroft Communities

We know how to take care of people. Our continuing care communities are home to belly laughs with neighbors, delicious chef-cooked meals, beautiful green gardens, farmers’ markets, cozy abodes, and – most of all – really kind people.

Each of the Greencroft affiliates was started by individuals from various faith traditions who wanted to make a difference everyday in their community. They each answered a call from God to serve.  You will find that the leadership team at each campus has answered that same call to serve today as our founders answers all those years ago.  Please, feel free to explore each vibrant community to see which one you might feel like calling home. 

Here, we’re a family. And, because of that, we care enough to ease your worries, so you can be free to really live. That’s the magic of Greencroft life.

At any one of our communities, you can live independently or with as much help as you need.   

What do we do?

Being a continuing care retirement community means that we’ve got what you need. Our communities offer a range of care, from independent living to assisted living to healthcare services for those who need daily help from trained, compassionate professionals.  Enjoy comfort, security, peace of mind and socialization.   We sweat the small stuff, so you don’t have to.
 
We partner with local communities and local non-profit corporations to improve the quality of retirement services. We believe that healthcare decisions are best made locally for people served locally. We offer managerial, financial and board expertise to strengthen an organization and the services it provides a local community.

My mother was here and they neglected her to the point she became septic and eventually died. When I received her things, I noticed the real jewelry she had was gone and her phone was also stolen.

I’m very grateful for everything your staff has done to help me in a difficult time. From the first day to my going home, everyone at Golden Years Rehab showed kindness, respect, compassion, and professionalism. Each staff member has used their God given talents and is blessed to be a blessing. With deep gratitude, Sandy Snyder

I was at Golden years for two months. Most of the staff are exceptional. I especially appreciate the kindness and patience of Rochelle and Angie. But housekeeping could improve. Deb Galloway

My sis was in the rehab area for almost 2 months. The staff was friendly & caring. The problem was getting the room cleaned. This was taken after 5 days of no cleaning the floor
