 Presbyterian Senior Living Minimize
                          
In the bounds of the Presbytery of Northumberland, we have two Presbyterian Senior Living communities:
 
810 Louisa Street, Williamsport, PA 17701
(570) 601-8351 
              
1445 Sycamore Road, Montoursville, PA 17754
(570) 601-8100 

Our residents, staff, and volunteers live our mission everyday. Our goal is to provide quality care so our residents can look forward not just to living longer, but to living well.

The provision of charity has been at the heart of Presbyterian Senior Living since its inception. Throughout our history, no one has ever had to leave the Presbyterian Senior Living system of care because they were unable to pay for the services they needed and deserved.
In 2008, over $978,643 was provided in charitable care to residents who outlived their resources at both Sycamore Manor and Presbyterian Home. Most importantly, the dignity of every resident is respected. Persons needing subsidy are not distinguished in any way from those who have sufficient resources to cover the cost of their care. Contributions have helped provide charitable care as well as make renovations and special projects possible.
We would appreciate the opportunity to provide a Minute for Mission at your church or speak to your class or group.
The Sycamore Manor Auxiliary
Our auxiliary extends their support to not only the residents at Sycamore Manor, but also the residents at Presbyterian Home at Williamsport.  The purpose of the auxiliary is to help enrich the lives of the residents through activities and occasional fundraising projects. The members of this group make a huge difference! They serve as a connection between the residents and the community. They’re of diverse faiths, yet united in a common, spiritual mission. Both men and women are welcome and all generations are encouraged to join. For more information, please call Sycamore Manor at (570) 601-8100.
Sycamore Manor Wish List — items needed to enhance resident care
Resident quality of life
·         Animal Fund for the Care and Nurturing or our Pets (any amount)
·         Memory Garden (any amount)
·         Furniture for the Lobby ($10,000)
