Peter Becker Community

Peter Becker Community is a continuing care retirement community in Harleysville, PA offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and nursing care. Founded on Church of Brethren principles, it serves seniors across varying care needs. The community provides 24/7 nursing services and includes an interdisciplinary team covering life enrichment, pastoral care, support services, and nutrition.

Most residents live in assisted living, choosing the community to reduce housekeeping and property maintenance responsibilities. Short-term care, personal care services, and hospice care are available. The skilled nursing program offers both short-term and long-term options for residents requiring round-the-clock care.

A specialized memory care unit called Larkspur Lane serves residents with cognitive impairments. Residents select from apartments, cottages, or one- or two-bedroom homes. On-site services include a dental office, pharmacy, medical suite, and audiology, optometry, and podiatry.

The community states its mission as improving, restoring, and maintaining physical strength, cognition, and mobility for residents. Physical, occupational, and speech therapies address conditions including pain, low vision, osteoarthritis, balance issues, fall prevention, and Parkinson's disease. A memory garden supports residents in the specialized memory care unit.

Amenities include a library, computer lab, gift shops, beauty and barber services, game and activity rooms, a chapel with weekly and holiday services, courtyard gardens, a spa with whirlpool tub, and on-site dining. Guest suites are available for visiting family and friends. Cottage-style homes allow pets—typically one dog, two cats, a bird, or fish—with a one-time pet privilege fee.

Free wireless internet is available throughout the community. Monthly activities include social gatherings and cultural events, holiday celebrations, worship services, recitals, and choirs. A monthly newsletter lists upcoming events, announcements, and resident birthdays.

Campus activities are also broadcast on the community's TV channel. Costs vary based on residence type. The community has stated a commitment to advocating for affordable housing and related services in partnership with local housing authorities and community partners.
