Assisted living for the elderly and disabled.

Located across 413 from Saint Mary’s Hospital in Bucks County.
We are also adjacent to Core Creek Park and border historic Newtown ,Pennsylvania.
We respect our environment and use of energy… sustainable design strategies will include
minimal use of resources, local materials, sun-modeling, wind power, and rainwater
collection.
Langhorne, Pennsylvania is a area with four distinct seasons: colorful and temperate springs
an d falls, cold humid winters, and hot humid summers. Rain, snow, storms, and all sorts of
precipitation are common throughout the year. Trees and vegetation grow well. Animals of
much diversity come about. Our facility needs to handle heavy humidity, precipitation, and
winds. It needs to be well insulated, heated and cooled, during the winter and summer.
Langhorne has been named “The City of Trees”.
Langhorne, Pennsylvania is a historic location and is near to Washington’s Crossing, the city
of Philadelphia, and other historically significant cities.
