Pickering Manor is a very nice, very clean, and a very well run place. They have a limited number of units, so I'm not sure that it is necessarily a place for me. However, I was very impressed with the assisted living. It's a good place. I had been there at other times seeing other people, and it was always very clean, and the staff was always very helpful. I was impressed with the staff.

I was very pleased with the accommodations at Pickering Manor. They showed us almost like a twin home that was like an apartment. It was very nice. The staff was very helpful. I think each one is provided ten meals a month, but they deliver them to you. That was kind of a drawback.

My mom moved into Pickering Manor in Newtown and they've been great. There's a lot of activities, socialization, and good food. She initially had rehab there but she is not doing well, she's declining quickly. We had wanted to put her in assisted living and that just didn't work out so she's in skilled nursing now.
She loves the meals there, they have a chef and he comes right to their table.
It's really expensive though. It's $12000 a month so that's going to hit us hard but we don't have any other options. I also don't have any other place that I would put her. I don't know what I would do if I didn't find this place.

We're moving my mother-in-law into Pickering Manor. I have come across this facility by word of mouth. My mother-in-law will be moving into their nursing home facility because she has Alzheimer's. She wouldn't be eligible for their assisted living. Because Pickering Manor was an older facility, their rooms were rather small. That's the biggest disappointment for us. However, they did have large windows so you would be able to look out and see pleasant surrounding because this facility was in a beautiful setting. The staff's work attitude was very good. They seemed to be very caring of the residents. They also seemed well trained and observant with picking up the needs of the residents. That's the main reason we're going with this place. For activities though, they have bus trips to various places.
