    Elizabethtown is a small family community located between the commercial hub of Harrisburg and the tourist-friendly Amish country of Lancaster. Just over 13,000 people live in Elizabethtown, 22.5% of whom are seniors aged 65 and over. The area in and around Elizabethtown is home to 38 assisted living facilities, where seniors can live as independently as their health allows. Facilities in Elizabethtown, like all residential care communities in the state, are regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.
