A Message From Michelle

Dear Friends,
Spring has sprung and we couldn’t be happier! Pickering Manor held our follow-up vaccine event for our apartment and cottage residents this month. We have been so pleased to remain COVID free in our resident population the entire time through this pandemic….and we are thrilled the end to our lockdown is in sight.
In other news, construction is almost complete for the first phase of the existing renovations to our Skilled Nursing Unit and the second phase will begin shortly. We also are excited to draw a winner of our Car Raffle fundraiser next month. Please scroll down to purchase your chance to win a brand-new car or $25,000 in cash! Keep scrolling for more news here at Pickering and we wish you all a wonderful start to your spring!
Warmly,

Michelle
