Our picturesque 44-acre campus creates an ideal setting for inspired senior living. While we are located in the rolling hills of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, we’re also just a short, one-hour drive from Philadelphia. Explore our picturesque nature trail or hone your green thumb in the Community Garden (read more below). Listen to the trickling fountain in the Center Courtyard on your way to the Meditation Chapel, or simply bask in the sunshine on one of our many outdoor patios. Foliage thrives in the Florida Room of our Waterfall building, creating a temperate indoor-outdoor feel. If you prefer to stay close to the comfort of home, enjoy views of the grounds through soaring windows on the connector bridges or from the all-season sunroom in your new apartment. We offer these scenic grounds for your enjoyment, without the responsibility of maintenance.
Engineered for use by residents with a wide range of mobility, our inviting nature trail features soft inclines and smooth pavement seams. Over two dozen recently restored birdfeeders are scattered along the trail and add plenty of wildlife to observe, interact with and track using the whiteboard at the trailhead. Meanwhile, facilities like our catch-and-release fishing pond and nearby outdoor barbecue pavilion are also available for independent resident use.
As a resident, you can grow vegetables, flowers, herbs—whatever suits your fancy—in your own personal plot. Gardeners can make use of our fully equipped garden shed as well as ample compost generated by the community itself, thanks to our Green Team that collects everything from coffee grounds to food scraps from our dining rooms! If you prefer a smaller project, the indoor rooftop greenhouse presents the perfect alternative for plants that need to be seeded inside or overwintered.
Join the Horticulture Club! Our resident-run gardening committee of dedicated and environmentally conscious horticulturists meets a few times per year. Occasionally, specialists from bespoke organization “Pennsylvanica” visit our campus to educate residents about native flora through discussion and workshops, on topics like pollinator gardens, fruit tree orchards, edible and medicinal plants… and more!
