Menno Haven Retirement Comm: Benner John Nolt MD

Menno Haven is a Life Plan retirement community in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, offering all levels of care including independent living, personal care, and skilled nursing across two distinct campuses. Founded in 1964 as a Christian nursing facility rooted in the Mennonite faith, the community has expanded significantly over decades to serve the region's retirees.

The community operates on 200+ acres in south central Pennsylvania's Franklin County, midway between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, with locations in Chambersburg, the county seat. Chambersburg is home to Wilson College and is situated along the I-81 corridor; Shippensburg University is approximately 15 minutes north. The area offers abundant recreational and cultural opportunities alongside a low cost of living and rich history.

Menno Haven's housing options have evolved through its history, beginning with skilled nursing in 1964, followed by independent living cottages in 1974, personal care apartments in 1988, and additional villas and apartments in the early 2000s. In 2016, the community announced Project GENESIS, a strategic reinvestment plan that included replacement of the Brookview Health Care Center, a new Rehabilitation Center, Memory Homes, a Resident Life Center, and additional independent living homes.

As a non-profit, faith-based organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, Menno Haven is committed to Christian principles and serving each resident's individual needs. The community's campuses include amenities such as a world-class pool, fitness center, and fine dining restaurant at Northgate.
