About Pickering Manor Home
Pickering Manor, Newtown's premier center for senior living, was opened in 1963 through the generosity of H. Russell Pickering who bequeathed his residence and a sum of money for the creation of a facility to serve the older citizens of Newtown and vicinity. This unique non-profit facility is located in historic Newtown in beautiful Bucks County, and is owned and operated by the Community Welfare Council of Newtown. Even after extensive growth, it still continues to be funded solely by revenues from its residents and contributions from individuals, businesses and organizations throughout the community. Pickering Manor takes pride in it's ability to provide a comfortable and friendly atmoshpere throughout it's full spectrum of care which ranges from independent living to highly skilled nursing. Admissions are not limited to Newtown residents and all persons without regard to age, color, gender, disability, national origin, race or religious creed are welcome. We have Independent Living in the form of Apartments and Cottages. We offer Assisted Living services in our 22 bed Personal Care area and have 47 licensed skilled nursing beds. The most appropriate would be determined by our resident's level of care.Features
