More about Hospice & Community Care
Care happens where patients already are: at home, in a senior facility or hospital, or at the Bob Fryer & Family Inpatient Center, which added a Residential Wing in 2022. The team serves nearly 500 patients and families each day across Lancaster, York, and parts of the surrounding counties, with more than 400 employees and a large volunteer base. On the pediatric home hospice side you case-manage children wherever they live and pick up adult patients when the census needs it, on a full-time day schedule. Admissions work is community-based—you respond to referrals and stay with urgent and ongoing patient and caregiver needs, with 8-hour or 12-hour day patterns, weekends every four to six weeks, and holidays only every year or two. A pediatric full-time days posting has been estimated in the $72,000–$84,000 range, and tuition reimbursement appears among the listed benefits. Nurses on Glassdoor describe a supportive team and real recognition for quality care. They also flag heavy workloads, PTO rules during office closures, a sense that leadership can feel distant from the floor, and limited ladders for promotion or raises. Michael Link became President & CEO in 2025 after Steve Knaub’s long tenure. If that mix of community hospice work and honest tradeoffs fits how you want to practice, this is a concrete place to look.
Quality-care focus and employee recognition noted by staff; Level 5 status in the We Honor Veterans program (NHPCO/VA).
