Pickersgill Retirement Community

Pickersgill Retirement Community was founded in 1802 and named for Mary Pickersgill—one of its earliest board presidents. For more than 215 years, our community has dutifully served the Baltimore-area community residents. Pickersgill is a nonprofit retirement community with a strong heritage of benevolent purpose. Begun in 1802 by a small group of caring women, Pickersgill is dedicated to helping each person achieve, with dignity, the proper balance between independence and assistance. We take pride in our blend of traditional values with contemporary living. We provide a comfortable home and high-quality care at a reasonable cost and promote each resident’s vitality of spirit. Nestled among mature maple and dogwood trees on 16 acres, Pickersgill Retirement Community has provided great service, value and a vibrant lifestyle to seniors for more than 215 years. Pickersgill, the only continuing care rental retirement community in the Baltimore area, is convenient to all that West Towson has to offer, including cinemas, stores, restaurants and top-rated hospitals. Plus, it’s within easy driving distance to Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City and Maryland’s Eastern Shore. A comfortable home. Maintenance-free living. Delicious meals and friendly neighbors. It’s all right here. At Pickersgill Retirement Community you can continue choosing where you live, balancing independence with the availability of a little help when you need it, with no entrance fee required! Join a community of active, friendly and independent residents without having to commit to a lifetime contract or an entrance fee. Our residents enjoy great value, engaging activities, time-saving services and more, all from the comfort of a residence perfect for their specific lifestyle. We value our rich tradition while keeping a close eye on the present and future. We appreciate and revere what’s behind us and are excited about Pickersgill Retirement Community’s future, as illustrated by our exciting, ongoing assisted living upgrades and upcoming renovation of some of our community’s essential amenities.
