It is with great sadness that Orchard Manor must announce that our Annual Family Picnic has been cancelled for this year. It was a difficult decision, but we felt it was very important for our Residents’
well-being.

The Annual Family Picnic has been an Orchard Manor tradition since 1991 and this is the first time it has been necessary to cancel. We hope next years’ celebration will be better than ever!

Family members are permitted to drop off items (including flowers) for Residents during specified hours:
M-F 9:00am to 3:00pm; Sat & Sun 1:00pm to 3:00pm.

Everything must go through a 48-hour quarantine. Please keep this 48-hour quarantine in mind  and do not leave perishable food or anything that needs to be refrigerated. Remember to include the Resident’s name and date it was dropped off. If you have any questions about what can be left, please call 724-458-7760. Thank you.
