Wellsboro Shared Home Inc

Welcome to Wellsboro Shared Home Inc! Providing a home for independent, ambulatory, older persons was a vision of Dr. Ardell Thomas, M.D. In 1979 he shared his dream with Pastor Richard T. Purchase. Beyond providing room and board, the home envisioned was to provide it's "family members" with caring and companionship in a distinctively christian environment.
During the planning stages a gracious victorian home became available. The combined efforts of the founders and many members of Pastor Purchase's congregation created the non-profit corporation now known as the Wellsboro Shared Home. The home continues to be a mission of the First Baptist Church in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania.
The Shared Home provides an opportunity for seniors to live copperatively without the worry of shoveling show, food shopping or other household chores. A competent staff is always on hand to meet the basic needs of residents.
The close proximity to many area churches and other local attractions ensures spiritual, social, and cultural activities for the residents. Our residents are free to sign out for outings or family vacations. Access to transportation allows voluntary, home-sponsored excursions to local attractions. Residents are also offered regular activies scheduled at home including bible study, church services, bingo, and special crafts. Of course, visits by friends, family and community groups are always welcome and encouraged.

The best way to get to know a community is by scheduling a tour. See the facilities, meet the staff and residents, and get a feel firsthand what it's like to live at Wellsboro Shared Home Inc.
