For over 128 years, WRC Senior Services has been dedicated to helping seniors in rural Pennsylvania make the best possible choices related to lifestyle and health care.
WRC originally stood for the Woman's Relief Corp. This volunteer organization formed as an offshoot of the Grand Army of the Republic to care for disabled Civil War veterans, widows and orphans.
At the annual WRC meeting in 1889, former army nurse Kate Scott proposed that a rest home be built in Brookville for this purpose. The Pennsylvania Memorial Home opened the following year - the first community of WRC Senior Services.
Today WRC Senior Services is an integrated family of services. We offer skilled and rehabilitative care, residential living and personal care, and home and community-based services.
