For over 40 years, Pickering Manor has provided quality care for seniors in Bucks County. Pickering Manor is a unique place started by one man’s vision to take care of local seniors. From Russell Pickering’s original bequest of his house and $200,000, Pickering Manor has grown into an intimate, personal, high quality facility that serves over 100 seniors daily.

Contributions to Pickering Manor go directly to benefit people in Bucks County. Whether it is a gift to our endowment, for a capital project or to assist with a program for our residents, all the support goes directly back to the community and to people who live in the community.

In partnership, we can make a positive difference in the well being of seniors in this community. Giving options include:

• A general donation to help us continue to provide high quality care
• A gift to our endowment which provides ongoing income from interest while the principal remains untouched
• A specific gift to help fund a particular project like renovating our resident showers or rehabilitation unit
• A gift of publicly traded stock which help our work and potentially save the donor taxes
• A bequest through your will
