Provide opportunities for continuing growth and well-being in mind, body and spirit;

Make use of the cultural and educational advantages of its location;
Collaborate with other organizations in the development of programs and services that enhance this Mission.
TRADITIONALLY BASED
In 1973 a group of Bucks County Quakers envisioned a diverse, non-profit retirement community where residents could enrich mind, body and spirit. In 1980 the group’s vision became a reality, which is now home to an exceptional group of people who share a fellowship of inspiration, a thirst for knowledge and a love of activity.
SPIRITUALLY INCLUSIVE
Our community is guided in its philosophy and practices by Quaker values that begin with respect for the dignity of each individual, and a welcome for people of diverse faiths and traditions. The acknowledgment of this belief supports the quality of our care and services, and informs relationships among residents, employees and the board of directors.
NATIONALLY RESPECTED
Pennswood Village is one of a fraction of the nation’s continuing care retirement communities that is fully accredited by CARF-CCAC. This organization provides a national accreditation following a rigorous, multi-step evaluation process. Our care consistently receives the highest five-star rating from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, and our community was also recognized in U.S. News & World Report’s Best Nursing Homes 2017 issue.
COMPREHENSIVE CARE
As a continuing care retirement community, Pennswood Village promises a continuum of care through all stages of life. Our contracts offer the most comprehensive level of healthcare coverage options and services available in a senior living community.
Quality healthcare services are available to residents of our campus as they require them, and include personal care residences at Barclay House and skilled nursing care at Woolman House.
