About Us

“Having people talk to him each and every day whether it be when we went for walks, sitting outside or just being in his room, put a smile on his face. Everyone was so friendly and caring and a big help no matter what situation we were in at the time….”-Wife of a former resident

William Penn Care Center is a Continuing Care Retirement Facility located in the rolling hills of Penn Township in western Westmoreland County in Pennsylvania.

The Center offers all levels of care under one roof and residents frequently move from one section to another. From skilled nursing to independent living, William Penn has it all. We are licensed by the Department of Health and have the approval of both Medical Assistance and Medicare.

Since our inception in 1993, our philosophy has been to assist every resident to achieve his/her maximum potential and to provide the highest quality of life through high standards of nursing care, activities, and socialization. Families are always welcome and may visit any time.

We will maintain compassion, dignity and respect for quality of life. We will protect and promote each resident’s rights as a unique individual, regardless of age, sex, race, religion, national origin, handicap, or disability.
